It'd be pretty hard to make something that "feels" like the original Star Wars. Thematically, Force Awakens was a carbon copy of A New Hope in many ways, yet still didn't have the same feel. I'd contend that a lot of that can be attributed to nostalgia and the mere fact that the Original Trilogy has existed as a cultural phenomenon for so long. Most people experience Star Wars for the first time as children, and those are experiences that stay with someone and are hard to replicate. I love the originals but I also enjoyed Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Last Jedi, even though the vibe isn't totally the same (nor do I think they should be), but it brings me joy to read the posts in here about people's kids loving the film. The cycle begins anew.
