Poe giving the data to bb8 and being captured, as well as Rey being brought to SKB and being interrogated while the other main characters get into the prison to save her, they both clearly borrow from Leia in ANH, that was my point. Their scenes (visual references aside) play differently, yet share the same plot points, so it’s still “borrowing” as J.J. said.
Well unless SW was the first movie to have a character be captured only to be rescued by the other characters I wouldn’t really call it mirroring at all 😄
It’s a very basic plot point that existed long before STAR WARS even came out. And not only in film but in books as well.
