You know, one thing I was real curious about before seeing the movie is what the computers would look like.  The original Star Wars existed before GUI was even an expression, the few monitors they had on set were very basic, nowadays movie computers are complex and flashy, I wondered what they would do.  And I thought they actually did a good job making them feel like they belonged.  There's a write-up I found on HUDs and GUIs showing them off.

Some of the ones I liked:

I also like how they kept the nixie tube looking arabic numbers that were used in the original A New Hope.
