Yeah, pretty much this exactly. He's cut himself off from the force, trying to get away from all that stuff, so why would he show reverence/respect/whatever for an artifact from his past? I thought that scene was great. It works both as showing his state of mind right away and its a funny piss take on the solemn ending of TFA.
