That dictionary definition is no help to the discussion
You mean it's of no help to your case.
No, I mean it's not any help to you in understanding what I'm saying.
They aren't "little details", they're heavily reoccuring visuals in the series.
To imply that visuals aren't truly important is truly ludicrous.
Here's another to stew on: the Republic clones mounting attacks on Separatist ships is very reminiscent of the Battle of Yavin, in ways that the prequel "dogfights" never could be.
Continuing to deny that the striking similarities are meaningful is a type of stubborness that will quickly rob your opinion of any credibility it once had.
By that standard the prequels must be significantly reminiscent of the OT. And they're not. Yes they are little details, no matter how often they recur, because despite them the show still manages to have a vastly different feel from the OT. Obviously those "striking similarities" of yours can't count for much if they fail to result in the show feeling anything like the OT. And they fail because the foundation mentality of the show is totally different from the OT. If those "striking similarities" were so meaningful the show wouldn't feel like prequel lite.
It's not loose details like you've listed that determine whether or not something is like the OT, it's the overall mentality. Which is not like the OT in the case of this show.
And don't talk to me about credibility. You're the one that tried to defeat an argument through narrow thinking and misunderstanding. Just because someone doesn't accept your view doesn't mean their view doesn't have "credibility".

Sorry, it didn't remind me particularly strongly of the battle of Yavin. There was a totally different feel to the battle of Yavin. This is just a cheap imitation, not something of the same variety. There is a similarity, but it doesn't feel like the same thing at all. Which is why the show with all its similarities fails to feel remotely like the OT. It is prequel-lite, not a return to the OT tradition.
Plus, a scene having some limited similarity to something in the OT does not mean the overall show feels like the OT. You're still dealing in loose details rather than the overall mentality and feel.
And I shouldn't have had to explain all that to you.
Don't make me laugh. ;)
While you're busy laughing maybe you can note that you're still failing to understand what I'm saying. You're quite simply not getting my thinking. And not making any effort to, as far as I can tell. I think I'm done trying to explain it to you.
