I know I'm in the minority here but I find most calls for color correction to be highly unnecessary.  In general, this need to make things look "realistic" is something I simply don't care about.  I'm watching a film, not walking around outside.

 Films from different eras have different looks. Though I agree with many that orange and teal is overdone these days and that it would be nice to move on.

I think the main time that color correction by fans is important, is when films have been modified from how they looked originally. Matrix, LOTR, the film about the lazer swords with a name that escapes me, etc. 

Obviously, TFA is an interesting case, because JJ seems to have an interest in returning to the OT style in a few ways. Some seem to be taking this to mean that they are going to be able to mistake it for a film made in the 1970s. These people are going to be very, very disappointed. But some fans seem to thrive on being disappointed.
