I really can't see how anything is identical. They have a completely different look to me

Both begin with a rescue sequence inter-cut with blank exposition delivered via holographic messaging.

Both feature Tatooine and it's distinctive design motif.

Both heavily feature bizarre aliens (many are carry over designs from earlier films) some of which are bargained with as part of a plan that actually makes no sense when you think about it.

The Jedi mind trick has limited success in both cases.

Both feature Jabba and Bib Fortuna and slave girls and comedy frog death.

Both have a middle act which centres on riding land vehicles at high speed through obstacles.

Both feature unnecessary costume changes from the female lead.

Both feature a dull mission brief delivered while characters blankly look in the general direction of a holographic display.

Both feature villains (arguably the more interesting characters) dying after falling into a pit (Jedi does this twice).

Both feature a ground battle/base siege/space combat/saber duel combination finale.

Both have a villain's lair going up in a generator explosion (Jedi does this three times).

Both have a comedy native swinging a weapon around and getting hurt to slapstick effect.

Fart/Burp humour.

Both have the death of a Jedi Master (arguably Qui-Gon's death makes more sense).

Both have a father figure dying from injuries lying down and looking up into the face of the victorious youngster and delivering a final request before peacefully sliding to the floor.

Both end with a funeral pyre and a victory display with fireworks launched by star fighters....

I could go on.
