They need/want to start a new franchise.

In the books, after the last movie (SWVI), Luke was the last Jedi standing and Leia and Han Solo get married. Their kids turn out to be Jedi kids and, as the last Jedi, Luke sets out to teach them the ways of the force and to reform the Jedi order.

Given the ages of the original actors, continuing the saga from how it ended in Episode 6 might work to use them to introduce the new characters. Lots of possibilities.

The thing about the post-Ep6 universe is that Lucas has controlled the overall plots and direction of the novels. They're considered canon.

In the novels Leia goes on to become a great Jedi warrior. So the question on using any of the original actors is, how much money has to be dangled in front of Carrie Fisher to get her to lose about 150lbs?

Well, they could have Leia and Han get married and the baby be Black. Leia would shout “Lando gosshen!!”
