It's there in The Director and the Jedi, the documentary they released with the film. You have set design people saying that entire locations shouldn't be in Star Wars. You have the costumer opposing Johnson casting Kelly Marie Tran.I'm not sure where the idea that so many people on set were somehow 'against' Johnson even comes from? The most infamous example I've heard is Ridley 'crying' when she heard JJ would be back for IX, but there's no evidence that had anything to do with TLJ - that was in the aftermath of the uncertainty of Trevorrow being fired and it was probably IMO deliberately distorted to feed this sort of narrative. This whole thing is wildly overstated IMO.
And then we have the whole promo tour for TRoS, which seemed to hinge on how it would fix what TLJ did.
One thing I would say is that I don't think TLJ is indifferent to the OT, but slavishness has become the default setting so anything else can easily feel unfaithful. That, and people assumed that the villain's motto was the film's despite Rey taking the Jedi texts, etc.
