If by replicating the look of the OT you mean continuing in the style of TFA, I haven’t heard any complaints about the look of that movie from anyone in my social circle, which runs the gamut from non-fans to casual fans to lunatics like us. The general consensus even among the folks I know who aren’t OT true believers is that the quaintness of the originals is preferable to the garishness of the prequels. Everyone also seems to be in agreement that TFA struck an ideal balance between the practical and the digital.
