You obviously missed this post in which I went into detail on the difference:
The OT was a very heartfelt classic story with deep emotions, characters that make a strong connection with the audience, vivid strongly realized imagination and a 70s-80s feel. This show is a fairly amiable but shallow modern-feeling fairly bland piece of work without a strong imaginative vision and with only one regular character who makes any sort of real connection (Ashoka). The OT existed in an unpretentious universe. This show builds on the prequels' envisioning the Star Wars universe as a place full of pretentious bullshit, such as the Jedi being a bunch of posers. In the OT Kenobi was wise not pretentious. In the prequels Kenobi had an edge of affectation to him and the same is true in the show. In the OT Yoda came out with some silly crap but he wasn't the arrogant poser he became in the prequels. In this show we've had Fisto, Luminara and Aayla coming off very artificial. This show lives in the prequels' interpretation of the Star Wars universe. And it's basically a show of shallow cheerful fun, which is what much of the Phantom Menace was. The OT's fun was of a different tone. This show shares the unreal unconvincing feel of the prequels, rather than the convincing imagination-brought-to-life feel of the OT. This show is very far from being like the OT, and no amount of throwing in OT references and items and OT-echoing lines and story elements will change that. The foundation mentality of this show is deeply at odds with the OT.
Perhaps you should read more carefully in the future.
your view consists of "No, that's not like the OT just because I don't think it is. And I'm not going to acknowledge any glaring, objective similarities that make the series what it is."
It gets soooo frustrating when somebody point blank refuses to understand something that's been explained to them. One more time, your "objective similarities" don't count for shit. Sure, they're there, so what. What's relevant to the question of whether the show is truly similar to the OT is the mentality of the show. And no, the mentality of the show is not similar. No amount of star destroyer interiors can change that. Battlestar Galactica has ships that look very like X-Wings but Battlestar Galactica sure isn't Star Wars. Battlestar Galactica has dogfights too but it's still not cut of the same cloth as the OT. These similarities are there but they don't make the two things on the overall similar, because they're not enough to do that.

I think you need to go back to your dictionary again. This time look up concede.
