I wouldn’t be surprised if a Lucas made Episode VII was just as much a SW “rip-off” as TFA. TPM already kind of was.
AOTC also had quite of a bit of ESB in it.
I don’t remember rehashed plot points bisides the rebels/people of Naboo attacking the Death Star/droid control ship. There are also a few OT shots redone (like redlettermedia pointed out), but they’re minor references, never “in the face” stuff.
- Queen/Princess is held captive.
- A Jedi finds a Force Sensitive on a desert planet and takes him off world to train in the ways of the Force
- This Jedi is then killed later in the film by a Sith Lord in front of our hero/s
- Climax is a space battle in which both Luke and Anakin blow up a spherical thingy to save the day
- Award ceremony at the end (not really a plot point but an overt parallel nonetheless)
