They plucked the throne room scene out of RoTJ, Kylo in Vaders image killed the Emperor analog, the he still rejected the light side. That alone tells us this will be a different part 3 from the original series. I like that allot.

Uh, the clean slate was episode 7. Abrams set up a bunch of stuff that, following typical story telling principles, would be expanded upon and investigated in episode 8, and reach a conclusion in episode 9. Should episode 9 throw away whatever happened in episode 8 and start clean again? It makes no sense to build a story arc and throw it away in the middle.
There is nothing wrong with having 3 directors and writers handle 3 episodes, but they need someone making sure it is coherent and follows a plan. Not having a master plan for these 3 is a huge mistake.
