Perhaps the similarities that are described are DELIBERATE.

This might sound strange to some, but there is a device used in writing
and in film whereby foreshadowing is used to unify different parts of
a story.  This might just be what Lucas was doing, or maybe the ROTJ
director was just playing around with the concept.

Whether or not this comes off well, or is done "right" in any given
instance, is an aesthetic question.  I am not expert enough in the
theory of aesthetics to say whether the ROTJ repetition of themes and
visual images is a "good" idea, but it didn't really detract that much
from my own enjoyment.  Possibly because I hadn't burned out on the
original movies first?
