Star Wars has been some kind of retro futuristic aesthetic ever since the first movie cemented the look and feel. They go thousands of years without any meaningful technological progress.
One of the things i like about Star wars tech is its all like a million years old. They’ve had light speed travel and their galaxy fully charted and explored for many lifetimes
One of my favorite bits of the Star Wars EU was when it established that the Rakatans invented (or stole) repulsor technology and all modern improvements to the designs are literally just miniaturization.
The difference between a Rakatan repulsor vehicle and a “modern” repulsor is that they used large repulsors prone to failure and the modern versions are miniaturized arrays that can keep going if one coil fails, but it’s been that way for so long that the modern users literally forgot that you can just make a repulsor as big as you want, and the bigger it is the more power it can have.

It’s like what happens if technology peaked. Coruscant has been a city sprawling a planet for literally 100,000 years
