Not sure what I'd do story wise, but I would swap out Rey for Jaina Solo and Kylo Ren for Jacen Solo.
Instead of Poe and Finn, I'd use Ben Skywalker.

Episode 7 - After the defeat of the Empire, the Galaxy is split in two. On one side is the democratic and peaceful New Republic, and the other a more militaristic, democratic-in-name-only faction lead by a former rebel general (Wedge? A new character?) They're in a political stalemate as the former has a now godlike Luke, and the latter has constructed a Sun Crusher. The balance is tipped when Han and Leia's son - angry at his mother for losing him his birthright as King of Alderan and his uncle for throwing away an Empire - joins the bad Republic. He kills Han, as per Sith tradition of killing your father/mentor (and because Harrison Ford wants Han to die) - and cripples Luke in a duel, who is unable to genuinely fight his nephew. The Sun Crusher is unleashed on Coruscant.
Episode 8 - with the New Republic government gone, a defeated Luke is talked into training a new band of Jedi - including Leia and his niece (Son Solo's twin). Meanwhile, Not-Wedge quickly becomes a puppet figurehead to Son Solo. Not-Wedge conspires to have Son Solo killed, but is found out and executed by Son Solo, who pins it on Luke and uses it to unleash hell on what remains of the New Republic. Luke and his team use the force to destroy the Sun Crusher. Son Solo engages in duel with Leia, who chops his hand off and begs him to turn back to the light side. While distracted, Son Solo kills her and escapes.
Episode 9 - witnessing the power of the Jedi and the destruction of the Sun Crusher, the bad Republic has disbanded. With both governments destroyed, the Galaxy is in complete anarchy and disarray as Luke and the Jedi try to restore order. Meanwhile, Son Solo builds a Sith army to combat Luke's growing Jedi one, calling himself the reincarnation of Darth Vader. The Jedi come to believe Daughter Solo is the reincarnation of the lightside of Anakin Skywalker. A Jedi/Sith battle happens, and Daughter Solo defeats Son Solo. The remaining Sith army turn to the lightside and bow to her. However, it is revealed to her at the end that she actually never was, and it was all a ploy by Luke and an until now unseen force ghost Anakin to restore hope and balance. The Galaxy is unified under a noble lie.

Hard not to come up with stuff without directly or indirectly ripping off what we got, but there you go. I tried to use the Ring Theory to do an inverse of the OT.

It’s 2013-14. Disney is producing its first Star Wars film. They turn to you to write the script. The real movie had a budget of $300 mil., so that’s what you’ve got to play around with. What do you do? What decisions do you make? Even if I didn't have 300 million...
1A NUMERO UNO: GET LUKE HAN AND LEIA BACK TOGETHER!!! PERIOD. No matter what else they forced me to do that is absolutely the very first most important thing I would have done. Get them together again so they could have another adventure. I don't understand why this didn't happen given that all three actors were still alive and healthy enough to make the movie at the time. Why not take the opportunity to do it? Did they think we were waiting for anything else?!?
2) Luke and Leia would have both been Jedi Masters teaching new Jedi. Or maybe they would have been retired, but not a curmudgeonly old man on an island.
3) The new characters would have been the new Jedi that Luke and Leia were teaching. The story would be about the OT character and the new characters equally.
4) The Empire would have been done and over, and NOT simply turned into the First Order. No more Empire. No First Order. NO DEATH STAR PLANET!
5) Sith would still be the villains, but they would be new Sith that came from some new place. There would be a Sith army.
6) One of the new Sith villains would be one of the students of Luke.
7) Would Han and Leia have children? Would Luke have children? Yeah, why not. But we'd have to do it different than the books did it so we wouldn't be accused of copying from them.
I probably would not have created Finn and Poe. I think Rey could still be okay if she was re-worked to make more sense. If Finn and Poe were still forced on me I would make them force sensitives, and eventually have them become new Jedi.
Would Han still have died? If Harrison Ford still wanted it, why not? Would he and Leia still be together? Maybe so, maybe not, but I wouldn't have had him be a pirate again. I would have made him an admiral or something.
In short, the story would be about a massive attack on the galaxy by a new and overwhelming Sith army that seemingly come from out of nowhere. Where did they come from? How did they get so powerful? Are they connected to Palpatine/Sidious in any way? Or worse yet, are they connected to Luke?!

I realized I never put down my story ideas here, so (1) here they are and (2) bump. The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of a reversal of the originals: the Republic as a powerful force and the “Empire” as a small ragtag fighting force. To keep the remaining “Imperial” troops together, the bad guy (the Spartan) I described above would have to be particularly charismatic—i.e., not Darth Horseface. And I like having a Republic senator or someone who’s not evil but who somewhat misses the stability of the Empire; it connects with the political themes that run throughout the series. In fact, I’m somewhat thinking of the fall of the Soviet Union and Putin (democratic backsliding and all that). Again, this is a bump as well, so if you have new ideas or haven’t posted them, I’d love to read them!

Here's another take by me:
Star Wars Episode 7
The universe at large is still rebuilding after the battle of Endor. It took many years to clear out all of the Empires influences. Some worlds are ruled by the New Republic. Many have chosen to remain independent.
Ambassador Leia Organa Solo travels the galaxy trying bring the worlds together under one peace treaty. At her side are Admiral Han Solo and C3PO. Chewbacca lives a life of boredom on Kashyk waiting for Han to call on him again.
Luke Skywalker is the master of a new school of Jedi. They train at an old Jedi temple he found that still had many ancient Jedi texts. Some of Lukes students are Han and Leia's son Ben, and his own daughter Rey. R2D2 is with them.
Rey's mother, Mara Jade (giggle [cast with Julianne Moore}) has been separated from Luke for some time. At a graduation ritual where Rey and Ben are finally anointed as Jedi Knights, Rey reveals that she is leaving to go to the Unknown Regions of Space to go look for Mara. Ben decides to go along with her.
Just then a new armada of ships enter the Galaxy having come from the Unknown Regions. They are an army of Sith larger than any known before (apparently they've never heard of the rule of only two). And they have a captive: Mara Jade.
At a political meeting on a world near the Unknown Regions Leia, Han, and the leaders gathered there, are attacked by the Sith Army.
Luke's Jedi temple is also attacked by the Sith. He escapes with as many of his Jedi students as he can rescue and goes into action. Chewbacca gets the call.
Hilarity ensues!

I'd hire George Lucas or Filoni, the rest will sort itself out
