I know this completely contradicts canon concerning maps and stuff (Jakku and Tatooine are half the Galaxy away from each other), but Jakku is Tatooine. Tatooine was the name used by the Hutts, and after Leia killed Jabba, their hold on the planet quickly collapsed. Those who filled the power vacuum renamed the planet Jakku, not unlike the Ottomans renaming Constantinople to Istanbul. That said, the events depicted in TFA take place pretty away from Mos Eisley and Mos Espa.
