Why do the holograms in Star Wars look so bad?

I mean they have cloning technology, hyper-drives, lightsabers, etc. And yet their holograms have the picture quality of an old television. I consider myself a star wars buff and I've never figured it out.

They don't care enough to improve it. Commercial quality holograms are scrubbed and processed to hell and back, coloured and retouched for the entertainment of all who consume the media. But the standard hologram? Why bother?

Think about it. You've got a technology which can safely transmit a (scan-line-y) image and voice across a good chunk of the galaxy with the right transmitter. It is accurate, reliable and will get the job done. *Exactly* what you want done, and nothing more. The equipment is already standard and distributed throughout the galaxy.

 You have no incentive to change it.
