[Star Wars] Why are the holograms so grainy, monochrome and flickering in a galaxy far far away where even Light speed Travel is not a big thing?

That's like complaining that your radios are crackly and hard to make out when you have planes that take you all over the world. Many times it's not worth squeezing out every last ounce of performance and then improving it further. Often you just get it to 'good enough' and call it a day.

And hell, communications break down after a long distance. Bounce a signal for 50,000 light years and honestly it's amazing you can keep real time communications.

If you isolate your comms to the best possible frequency and block anyone else from talking to you, you'll have great service and the holograms will be sharp. But since EVERYONE in the galaxy is talking to each other, well, that's just not practical.
