The technology stagnation is even more confusing when you consider that between the prequels and the original trilogy, the sophistication of technology (or at the very least, design) actually seemed to have backslid.
Yup.
(a term I can already tell you're fatigued hearing)
Very much so.
How serious can you take a government that doesn't last half a Terran century before some farmboy manages the topple the thing in a few battles?
Well...it's an old story. We might as well ask something similar of Sauron and Frodo.
Not that the lore actually gives us anything like that, but whatever. This is Star Wars, it's space fantasy, not "science" fiction in any regard.
Yes, noting that it is fantasy is very important (don't get me started on how much I hate to "mitochlorian" crap).
