That's sick looking!!

Oh, that does look like Luke but Im still going to contend he's not doing a version of Yoda in this film.
IN before a dozen fanboys tell us how they just ripped-off the OT and don't do anything original!

That depends. Is it a time of economic prosperity?I care little about that. Original story is more important than original ship designs whose sole intent is just to sell toys. In reality, the ship designs should've changed very little, if at all. These things would be in service for decades or more, just like our real world birds.
Well, it has been 30 years since the fall of the Empire. That's a pretty good amount of time. The original Empire was only in operation for a little over twenty years. Finn seems to be about 20 years old and was taken as a small child. So we know it's been around at least that long.
Do we know when the First Order started? Has that been stated in any of the books or anything?
Totally agree and that is what I was getting at in a sarcastic way.I care little about that. Original story is more important than original ship designs whose sole intent is just to sell toys. In reality, the ship designs should've changed very little, if at all. These things would be in service for decades or more, just like our real world birds.
just looks like a black tie interceptor design to me..hardly original or bad ass..
The thing is, where is there for technology in the SW universe to go? You know?
We've gone from propellers to jets to stealth as mentioned 90 years. Less really as stealth was around in the early 90's. There's no where for the tech to go to give the bigger/badder ships or whatever. From prequels to sequels, the only thing that changes is money. Money was plentiful in the PT, hence things like the naboo cruiser which was very different, yet villified for not being SW enough. The OT had it's style after the empire systematically drained the galaxy of money and resources so you had that style. The ST mean while has shown similar designs, but if anything more simplistic and streamlined, which would come with having enough cast around to put smoother skins on what they had. And yes, they were still making due as the republic itself wasn't interested in an army and thought the FO was no big deal. The FO, on the other hand, was driven to the outer rim, resources (physical and financial) virtually depleted and they were restocking. Why redesign everything from scratch if what you had worked fine? You've got the plans and presumably had the builders in chains to keep going.
I mean, seriously, does a 777 look vastly different from a DC9? Not especially. (there are differences, but when seen in flight, they're both roughly the same shape). But that is huge jump in the timeline of our aerospace industry here. Why would the FO redesign Ties? or the resistance redesign X wings? You don't change without improving, whether it aesthetic or functional. But there's not really any tech to upgrade to in the SW world. Hence, little change. Capital ships from the PT are similar to the SD's of the OT which are similar to the SD's of the PT. You could go with another shape, but what does it do for you? Look at trek, their huge jump in tech was the borq who travel around in a giant cube.
