The prequels sort of had their own 'look' but paid tribute to many of the OT designs at the same time, especially once the Clone Wars started.
One of the more disappointing aspects of the sequels for me was that apart from some stuff in TLJ like Kylo's fighter and some of the Resistance fleet), they didn't really bother with a visual design for the Resistance or the First Order that was all that distinct from the OT at all-the X-wings and TIE fighters were barely different at all apart from some small cosmetic changes (Like the X-wing engines, mostly borrowed from Ralph McQuarrie's older designs) despite it being a longer gap than between the PT and OT. Perhaps the worst visual sin were the "Final Order" Star Destroyers, which pretty much just took the ANH style destroyer from "Rogue One" and "Solo", made it slightly larger, added a laser and some barely visible red paint to some of it's edges.
I know the Resistance were basically low-budget even compared to the Rebellion and were largely composed of out-of-date ships (Although as I said TLJ did have some decent redesigns of the major rebel ships) but a lot of it just seemed kind of lazy.
Since it takes place nearly two decades later should there be some changes?
