I think I mind the Jedi robes least of everyone on this forum. Yeah, the reason for them is wrong. But having such modest monk-like clothing for a group that is (supposed to be) divorcing themselves from their emotions is not the worst.

Mainly, I'd be concerned of what they would come up with if they decided to go all out designing Jedi uniforms. It could be much worse if they went for something like an 80's Who Gallifreyan aesthetic.

They could've just gone with what they'd already established in 1983. That's what's so irksome to me - their work was already done. All they needed to do afterward was just give a crap about continuity with the OT. In fact, that's pretty much the problem with the PT in a nutshell.
