I agree with what you're getting at, but they didn't actually do that. Han, Leia, and Luke are all major players in this trilogy. Chewy -- still there. C3PO and R2. Still there. Yoda. There.
You cant just drop the line "kill the past" and now you're all edgy and have something new on your hands. They've been capitalizing on nostalgia since the beginning. If they were going in a new direction they should have just done it from the outset, maybe it wouldn't have left the new batch of characters to seem so purposeless.
