I definitely agree on the Y-Wing. The backstory on that fighter had established that it was an older model, and that link back to the end of the Clone Wars would have been a nice connection. It's nice that the Clone Wars series had the opportunity to correct that discrepancy, but a movie appearance would have been far cooler.
As for the ARC-170? It's design definitely shows a common lineage with the X-Wing. But I think that we saw something interesting in ROTS when the ARC-170's got taken out by the Droid Tri-Fighters. The bigger design wasn't necessarily better. And perhaps it took the 20 years between REVENGE OF THE SITH and A NEW HOPE to make those leaps forward in design that led to the Z-95 and eventually the X-Wing.
