Did the Empire go through an economic breakdown?

Depends where you're changing your money I guess. I hear the rates on tatooine suck.

I am not just talking about the clone troopers. The ships, models, are not all CGI, most of it is, but the sets and such have battle damage and such, Anakin's pod racer (when he is working on it) and a lot of the stuff in Anakin's area is just roughed up props.

In TPM yes... the amount of real world props diminishes as the PT continues.

in the PT, everything from the cities to the vehicles to the cruisers looked sleek and new. why then, does almost everything in the OT look old and decrepit? one theory I had was that there was a sort of dark age following the Empire takeover. but this is not true. for example: the Death Star. Planet destroying death rays didn't exist in the PT. so that leaves the explanation of an economic breakdown. idk.... anybody want to shed some light?

Uh... 70's film making technology vs. late 90's early 2000's film making technology?

Nope.

Dick Cheney was the supplier for the death stars fuel supply go figure

Clever.

sorry to all the cheney supporters .....if any...lol

Hope not.

Agreed. Few are in ATOC, in ROTS...........

..........NO live location shots. All CGI, model enviornments (or both together) and studios.

I thought it look alright still.

It did. But a tad too much distance. IMHO OC.

I agree. I wonder what the live action TV show will be like in this respect.

It's a cartoon... different dynamics.

I am talking about the live-action flesh and blood TV show which is supposed to come out in 2009.

The cartoon/CGI animation movie is due soon, I believe it will be followed by a TV series in the same style (stylized CGI) after it.

The live action series will prolly be much like the PT.
