Star Wars - Which Era had the best aesthetic?

I’ve been looking at the design of ships in the prequels once again, mainly because I find myself playing Star Wars Racer Revenge in preparation for the upcoming release of Galactic Racer. I really love the "gilded age" vibe of the Republic, not just the ships, but much of the architecture too. It is in stark contrast to the "used future" of the industrial quasi-brutalist aesthetic of Empire from the original trilogy.

One could argue that it is visual language encompassing the fall of democracy and rise of authoritarianism is thematically appropriate, and not simply driven by the advances in film making technology.

But what are your thoughts?

Did the tonal shift from PT to OT bother you or was it justified?

Given this shift between trilogies, do you think with the visual continuity between the OT and ST was justified? Or was this a missed opportunity to give if a distinctive look and feel?

Why do laundry detergents have such massive caps if you’re only supposed to use like 2 tablespoons of liquid?

If I fill it to the line they suggest, I’m using way more than the "recommended" amount on the back. Is this just a scam to make us buy more detergent faster, or am I overthinking how dirty my clothes are?
