I don't know the lore all that well, but if it's indeed thousands of years, then it's ridiculous that the ships haven't changed. In thousands of years, you'd expect a technology-dependent, ambitious, space-faring society to make more than marginal changes. I would have trouble believing that combat styles (tactical and strategic), materials science, physics knowledge, stylistic preferences, and raw ambition would have advanced only trivailly during such a time scale.

Though I allow that one exception is some sort of knowledge crash, where the science is lost for millennia and they're stuck with existing factories, unable to understand how the tech works, let alone advance it. Reminds me of what I saw in the Battletech universe when I played that briefly.

I can also accept that after the clone wars, the Empire's repression destroyed a lot of advanced facilities and scientific institutions that they would see as potentially competitive, causing much of the galaxy slide backward in available tech. I guess?

I'm no master of the lore here. Feel free to correct me where I'm getting it dead wrong. :)
