It has a taste of the original trilogy, but there's way too much pretentious-epic shit flying around that screams prequels.
That was my take on that 1313 clip too. While I was thinking this is great, normal people and not Jedi, they go and do Jedi like stunts like jumping into a massive bottomless pit and grabbing onto a crashing ship in mid air.
I guess this is what it means to be Star Wars these days then, people jumping off edges with no regard for their personal safety. :(
If the first Star Wars film were remade today, Luke and Leia would come to the retracted bridge on the Death Star, shrug for a second, then make a running jump for the level just below the one they are on, land on their feet, and continue running. Han and Chewie would run down the hall into a room full a Stormtroopers, stand there for a second, look at each other, let out a chuckle, roll their eyes around a bit, then proceed to clear the room in a matter of seconds with a stylized mixture of their blasters and hand-to-hand combat, the go on like it was something they do on a daily basis.
