Besides the fact it plays on the planet, it has so many references you could say it’s almost a 1:1 shot-by-shot remake of the Falcon’s escape from the DS (I think someone also posted a gif depicting this).

No you can’t. You can’t tell me that Han and Luke shooting at TIE Fighters while the Falcon was pretty much flying without movement is the same as the chase scene in TFA where Rey is doing maneuvers to evade the TIEs even to the point of setting up that circus shot at the end. Also having it be in a desert and inside of a Star Destroyer adds a completely different dynamic to the chase whereas in SW where it’s just in space.

Also the gif is just the movement of Han and Finn in the seat. Which is really the only thing you can accurately compare.

Right, but for Luke and Anakin journeys to mirror the way I said, it necessarily had to.

There’s other ways he could have lost his hand. But then again why is mirroring right in the PT but is bad in the ST?

TFA had no reason to make Rey’s journey to Luke’s, though, so it’s fine.

Neither did Anakin’s. They could have made it so there were similarities here and there but just like TFA they went overboard with it. In this regard even moreso. But Rey’s journey isn’t over yet so other similarities may arise.

Except for the “NOOO” 😄 visual reference, it didn’t affect the plot the same way, so I’m not sure it’s actually rehashed: Luke is still an apprentice and now without a master, Obi-wan is already a Jedi Knight and has no need for more training (actually, he is the one who has to train now).

Well I’m talking about the scene itself not how it effects the rest of the trilogy. If we’re comparing movie to movie it’s definitely an overt mirroring. Certainly more overt than Han’s death.
