Reject the past?

Another Last Jedi critique is this... a common mofit throughout the film was the rejection of the past/nostalgia/sentiment in favour of the new. Kylo Ren argues this, so does Luke and even Yoda...
It sounds fine until you consider the fact that you're watching Star Wars episode 8. There are 7 preceding movies and movie 7 was a nostalgic kitsch-fest c/o JJ Abrams.
Even Last Jedi can't make the claim of scrapping the past with any conviction because the movie relies heavily upon known/over-used characters/themes.
