I remember that before going to see it in the theater the one thing I gathered from reviews was that the film was a rehash of New Hope. And I think that was largely true, but at the same time the changes were significant. It's not only because we got different characters in different positions when the story started, but because the movie wasn't the first in a series, it had some legacy effects which no "starting" movie could claim.
At the same time the likelihood that the movie, no matter what it was, would have the same impact on me as New Hope was low. But I left the theater satisfied that at least it was no Episode 1.
