Not everything in the prequels is new and shiny. Tatooine certainly isn't. Coruscant is deliberately new and shiny (except for the parts of it that deliberately aren't in Clones) because it's supposed to represent a facade of opulence hiding the decay of corruption. The original trilogy is all worn and lived in because everything has gone to shit since the Empire was formed. I just feel that, out of all the things to nitpick, this seems like a silly one to.
What I like most about the prequels, and what a lot of Star Wars fans seem to forget (or want to forget), is the worldbuilding done. The backstory that frames the original trilogy. The Jedi used to basically run the galaxy, there were thousands of them, but they had gotten stiff and stale and monastic, and were out of touch. After Order 66, Obi-Wan and Yoda realize this is a problem, which is why they don't train Luke the way that they were trained.
However, if you think about it, it makes a bit of sense to have the Jedi be, at least to a certain extent, monastic and distant. The Sith, particularly Anakin, make it very clear what happens when a Force-user lets their emotions get the better of them. We're talking about people who can warp reality to their very whim and maybe they should be trained to stay cool and collected and not try to, you know, take over the universe.
