I said it was not reminiscent of the OT. There's a difference.No. There isn't. If something is reminiscent of something else, it has something in common with what it's reminiscent of.
Your picture did not prove it was reminsicent of the OTYes. It did.
The picture contains things specifically and distinctively in common with ESB especially.

That dictionary definition is no help to the discussion, because it only gives a very bare interpretation of the word. In the real world "reminiscent" is used a variety of ways. In the way I'm using it I'm not talking about "oh here's a star destroyer that reminds me of the OT", I'm talking about the overall nature of the show and whether THAT is reminiscent of the OT. Which is the only meaningful sort of being reminiscent to discuss here. Who cares about little details, it's the overall nature of the thing that matters. And the overall nature of the show is NOT reminiscent of the OT. So the show is not reminiscent of the OT in any way that counts.
As such you can have all the star destroyers in common with the OT that you like but the show is still not meaningfully reminiscent of the OT. And the picture of a star destroyer certainly did not prove it was meaningfully reminiscent.
Really, by the standard of being reminiscent that you're using, the prequels would be reminscent of the OT because they have lightsabers and jedi and Ian McDiarmaid and spaceships and troopers like the imperial ones in the OT and a character called Kenobi and a character called Anakin and Yoda and a guy in a suit like Boba Fett with the name Fett. But the prequels are for the most part not meaningfully reminiscent of the OT. There's no point in talking about a level of being reminiscent like that. What's worth talking about is whether the thing overall is like the OT. And the prequels weren't and this show isn't. And when you address the topic of whether the show is reminiscent of the OT, it's quite reasonable for people to assume you're talking about whether the overall show is seriously reminiscent of the overall OT, not whether there are some details in common.
And I shouldn't have had to explain all that to you.
