That's what I thought. In Episode 1/2(/3?) everybody is rich and they have this spiffy expensive technoligy.
In 4/5/6, they are in war and they're running low on money. So they go back to old systems like armor instead of shielding.

Remember why they started with episode 4: it was the best stand-alone story. You didn't really need to know the other episodes for this one.
If Star Wars was a flop, they could just stop after A New Hope.

I really wonder if they're going to make 7/8/9 one day...
