There are some similarities to ANH ... but no.
It has about 100x more action than ANH. The main "action" sequence in ANH prior to the ending space battle is Obi-Wan chopping some guy's arm off in the bar.
It has like 3x more planets than ANH. It has a snow planet and an Endor like forest planet ... so which is it guys? Is it aping ANH or the OT? Jedi had a Death Star too by the way.
TFA has a very bittersweet, even sad ending ... does A New Hope?
Most Star Wars movies have similar plot elements, it's part of the general structure of the movies ...
The Empire builds another Death Star ... Obi-Wan dies but there's another Obi-Wan type figure (convinenantly) around the corner in Yoda. Luke is a desert farm boy ... so is Anakin, Qui-Gon dies in Ep.I just like Obi-Wan does in IV and now Han Solo, Etc. etc. etc.

the prequels (even if hated) felt alot more different from the original saga for me.
in 7 were so many similarities... The "im your father" story killed it for me.

Not too hard for the prequels to "feel different" ... they sucked all the life/joy/fun/laughter/character from the series.
The first freaking prequel is about a TRADE/TAXATION DISPUTE gone mildly wrong, thirty minutes of Jar Jar being to most annoying piece of crap ever put on film, and finding some snot little brat on a desert planet.
The "I'm your father" stuff would've happened either way ... Lucas himself has said the main movies are about the Skywalker/Solo lineage.
