Oh there you are being offensive again. Why do you have to keep doing that? Why you keep getting aggressive and/or personal? Why can't you just accept somebody disagrees with you without having to diss them?

The feel and mentality of the show has very little in common with that of the OT. People go on about how it's like the OT because of OT references (but anything can have OT references -doesn't make it like the OT) or because it's more fun and straight forward than the prequels -but more fun and straight forward doesn't necessarily make it that much like OT. Anyway I find it reminiscent of TPM in particular, not the OT. It approaches Star wars in prequel mindset even if it's more fun-oriented than the last two prequels. And it's very much built on all the bullshit the prequels built up, complete with the Jedi being a bunch of pretentious wankers and all that. The OT was a very specific thing and this prequel-lite show is very different from what the OT was. The OT had a thousand times more emotional depth and human connection and strength of imagination and it didn't have the bullshitty mentality and pretention. This is so NOT like the OT. I wish people would stop saying it's like the OT, because it's like they're forgetting what the OT was really like or getting into wishful thinking.

And seriously, seeing the inside of a star destoyer doesn't make something like the OT. Like I said, it's just cosmetic. I don't see how somebody could really think that makes this show like the OT.
