It's similar plot wise to A New Hope. So I agree with the points you share. But the characters are radically different ,except maybe BB-8 and R2-D2 which share a lot of similarities, although I find BB-8 cuter, it's fucking adorable. The new trio of characters (Rey, Finn and Poe) are nothing similar to the OT ones (Luke, Leia, Han). The villain is completely different too. While Vader was more calm, Kylo Ren lose his shit everytime. So I think it's more like a tribute to A New Hope, introducing a similar plot and setting to a new audience, while creating new and interesting characters.
