[Star Wars] Why does technology progress so slowly?

In Knights of the Old Republic, which takes place several thousand years BBY, we still see pretty much all the same technology that we see in the Star Wars films.

So why has technological advancement stagnated so much?

It's not stagnated, it's peaked and plateaued. 

Technology in the galaxy as a whole is at such a high level that there's just not that much left to discover or invent.  All the problems that can be solved by technology given the limitations of physics in that universe by and large have been solved.

Artificial gravity is a good example of this.  Artificial gravity is so cheap an ubiquitous that a beat up smuggler's ship has three different gravity zones in it, and it's so efficient that even a scavenger in a backwater desert planet barely surviving has a speeder where it's not worth turning off the AG when she parks it.

Most technology has reached that level.  What looks like technological progression is usually just changes for aesthetics or redeveloping technology that had fallen out of use due to lack of need.
