Primitive compared to what?

They're stiff walking tin-men and rolling garbage cans that communicates with robotic voices and bleeps and bloops. Considering that there exists near-human looking robots in real life, I would say that's pretty fucking primitive, considering the level of technology existing in Star Wars.

The real explanation is props are easier to make when they're blocky droids or a dude in a suit. It's also an aesthetic choice.

Do these materials exist in the canonical universe of six movies and a TV show?

Yes: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electrostaff

Is there an in-story/lore explanation as to why Star Wars droids looks so primitive?

It's supposed to look like vintage sci-fi. Remember, Star Wars takes place "a long time ago."

So vintage

Yeah.. clunky and gray.

This is what I'd call a futuristic spacecraft (which are the words I searched in Google to find this thing).

That Y-wing is gonna get real hot real fast in space.

Do you think that things can't get hot in space?

I think venting heat in space requires more than a few vents.

Particle Person · « **Reply #130 on:** December 02, 2014, 11:09:43 PM »

How would you vent heat in space then, if not by using vents?

Radiation! A vent would be useless. But a heat exchange? Much better.

If this is legit, then there's a very good chance the film will end up being actually good.

Rushy · « **Reply #135 on:** December 03, 2014, 06:35:54 PM »

Any Star Wars film that isn't directed solely by George Lucas has a fair chance of being good.

They're replacing Luke with a black guy? I'm not happy about this.

The opening crawl details the ongoing turmoil in the galaxy. How the fall of the Emperor left a void of power, and how the heroes of Endor went into seclusion or kept fighting.

Stopped reading here. If they're actually retconning the end of the original trilogy, I'm not interested. Fucking lazy hacks.
