Yes the Falcon shot is very reminiscent of a few OT shots and definitely that one from ROTJ in particular. The one thing that is atypical about it is the upside-down-right-side-up flip, but who cares really, it's awesome.
JEDIT: Watching that clip, wow. Just wow. Having grown up with the film I tend to take the FX for granted. What they managed to do with practical effects for that scene is simply amazing.
