To be honest, I think Episode VII should be set close to a hundred years after ROTJ rather than a mere thirty. After all, shouldn't people who are part of an advanced interstellar civilization have a better quality of life than people in the real world? Shouldn't they age at a slower rate than we would?

That's getting into Star Trek TNG territory though. ;)

Going off of that (lame) episode, it seems that people live longer without the benefit of aging slower in the ST Universe, which isn't what I'm proposing for the Sequel Trilogy.

So 100 years later it's all the same characters as if it was 30 years later.

Why make the change?

I'm not sure I'm follow you. The storyline wouldn't have to feel like its only thirty years later.
