In my opinion the old guard designed "characters" when they did those original designs. That's the big difference to the new films, they are well done but very generic and lacks that character that the AT's, TIE's and all the other ships had. I mean the Falcon was Lucas vision of a Sci-Fi hamburger...the more outrageous the vision the cooler and different stuff will look in the end. Another one is the Slave1...no one would dare to make something like that today...to strange and ugly .
But in all fairness the "new" gen of Designers are extremely skilled in Photoshop and Maya or what have you but way to streamlined...maybe it's also down to timelines the guys have to fight with or the Management that don't have the balls, I see that every day at work, Designer dreams being put down due to Marketing and cost downs .
