Seems like Disney are not true to the lore of the star wars universe. It's OK for them to take the franchise and run with it (after all they paid for the privilege) but making it in accordance to their own timeline with far too many inconsistencies to what has already been written may turn some hardcore fans off.
There is a timeline that is well documented and they could have made a film that fits well within that. Obviously the script writers skimmed some of the books and didn't learn anything much from the bits they did read.
