This story was about finding Luke.  The opening crawl should have clued you in.

 

LOL... "death star"... they even debunked this notion within the actual movie.  Evolution of technology is a thing, you know.  Not unless you believe all modern cars are the same as the Model A, I suppose...

 

This is a continuation of the same main larger story, not a reboot.  Spiderman and Star Trek are examples of reboots, this is anything but.  A reboot would have been to change the original story.  This merely continued (and done respectfully so, I might add - unlike his treatment of Star Trek) the original story, along a consistent timeline, without anachronism, rebooting, or disrespect of the original trilogy.

 

If you can't tell the difference between a Death Star and a Starkiller (which is a nice nod to the original Skywalker name,) an aspirational farmboy who wants to get off his planet and a patient scavenger content to say on hers, a man who kills his mentor and a child who kills his father, an intergalactic spaceport bar overrun with the Empire where droids and blasters aren't allowed and a secluded pirate safe haven where anything goes... then you really are taking an extremely shallow look at a story that's much richer than you appear to understand.  Sorry you were disappointed, but you wouldn't be if you took a deeper dive.
