I have to agree on this, it looks a little weird at times. The only improvement for the horizontal ones I would say it to make them less "ribbed" where the material sticks out between the seems, it makes it look too retro for me. I like Star Wars to always look cutting edge in terms of technology/wardrobe. Unfortunately making ANH first and in 1976 makes any prequels a slave to that.

Even George couldn't bring himself to obey it completely in the prequels. ANH outfits and props are just looking increasingly dated every year.
