What totally amazes me is how people who watch these new films can actually call them different and fresh.
The mind just boggles.

As I said, I'm not a massive fan, don't own any of the films and therefore don't know them very well. It has probably been over five years since I've seen any of the original trilogy so I can't tell you exactly why it felt fresh and innovative, more so than The Force Awakens. It was more a feeling than a critical appraisal of narrative and character arcs as I'm in absolutely no position to do the latter. I honestly didn't notice any similarities in the same way I did with TFA and A New Hope.
