This makes me so sad if Disney not using "the other family" anymore.. and would destroy everything lucas has build up for in the first 6 movies.. but I cant see that in anyway..

I wonder if Disney wanted to expand the story to make new characters the center stage while Lucas wanted a more tight-knit story.

I have kept myself at minimum info on the new characters background stories so I am still on speculation-mode on everything, but it seems to me the new characters have no connection with the characters we've known from the previous films. I could be wrong though.
