I just saw it last night for the first time, and since then I've been
reading reviews (which I was avoiding before). It seems to be the
concensus (and I agree) that it's somewhere in between a sequel and a
reboot/remake. It definitely has a lot of elements parallelling the
first movie, but on the other hand it clearly takes place after Return
of the Jedi and has some of the same characters in appropriately older
roles.
