The key here is realistic-looking.  The last starfighter came alot
closer to looking realistic, than the TV show does, because they
spent alot more money and time on it.  I imagine that Lucas is also
waiting for better modeling tools, and more realistic imagining
speeds.  Just think about how long, and how expensive the space
battle in Revenge of the Jedi would be, if it were done on a computer.
