Realistically? There's no reason they couldn't.
But by contrast imagine explaining all that in a 140 word opening title crawl to the audience. The worry could be that it could confuse the audience (much like white ripcord in AOCI).
That said, if its set in that gap I point out, most of it can be explained with throw-away lines no longer than Leia's "years ago you served my father in the clone wars" in ANH. Throw in something similar about "you fought well in the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion" and bang. 5 years referenced and done.
So I'm really hoping that the powers that be at Lucasfilm recognize this and work on that rather than rebooting the entire EU.
(If you're wondering what that looks like, donload this:

)
EDIT: at this point they have not actually said whether they are working around the existing EU and keeping continuity, or if they are going in a completely different direction and rebooting it. The reason many fans worry they are is the choice of JJ Abrams as director who did the Star Trek reboot. Also the expectation that Disney will want to capitalize on Chewbacca in the movie (who should already be dead).
