    Bespin is about the only rich and civilized planet that is visited in the OT, while the PT visits civilized planets more often like Naboo. Luke explains Tatooine is pretty much a dump, Hoth is wilderness as is the moon of Endor. Most of the OT planets are fringe planets, even Bespin is just a higher tier fringe planet. It seems the OT purists only like fringe planets.

    That aspect of Cloud City works even better with the prequels, because now when we arrive at Cloud City it feels like we've in a way returned to the splendor and civilization of the Old Republic, reinforcing its outward appearance as a paradisaical haven from the grayness, hardness, and brutality of the Empire.

    Heres my take: The PT shows an elegant, thriving civilized democracy vs the OTs war torn dictatorship where all resources are consumed for war. Think USA vs North Korea. Its a visual contrast.
