I think it would have been seen as laying it on too thick. If the 'leaks' are true then Disney made the right move in trying in pull him back a bit. There is already quite a bit of fan service in this film and that would have pushed it too far.
These leaks read like a fan created script of what would be awesome. A Star Wars Greatest Hits Reunion Episode as opposed to the final film. The gang is back together one last time e.t.c.
Really the film should have been a full 3 hour debate in the Star Wars Senate thing from the prequels into the Emperors Executive Overreach but the cowards at Disney didn't have the guts. Also Ewoks flying X-Wings coming in to save the day at the end rather than all those ships.
