So... having not yet seen tlj I didn't think to have much to say, however, I was wrong lol.(which means i'm not bothering with spoiler tags btw)
First the whole restore balance and destroy the sith thing, he did. He did destroy the Sith when he betrayed the emperor, and when a whole bunch of light exists but no darkness, there isn't balance. Stop looking at it through the jedi's now obvious stupidity on what is balance. He reset the balance pretty well.
Ok so, most of the expanded universe is down the trash shute, which... things HAVE been known to survive.. but still. New canonical novel 'origins of the Jedii' is an absolute must for understanding some things reference though, Ashara and Bogan represent the light and the dark respectively, they are considered the incarnations of it in the old school before the split jedii who knew that you have to stay suspended between the light and the dark and not sway to either, true balance.(this also appears in other new works, in the clone wars cartoon(iirc) a being tells a jedi HE is Ashara and Bogan because he knows balance and the jedi does not.
Combine this with raidem's offhand reference about something in the force and the simple mention of snoke(in trailer, of darkness rises and light to meet it) leads me to believe perhaps.. just maybe, Ashara and Bogan were two very dynamically opposing force users who became the first two and most powerful force ghosts and have been mucking about with everyone else who uses it ever since...?
actually kinda hope not cause that would be too damn reminiscent of my DF theories.. The circle would be complete, those who were originally copied from have now become the copiers...
*which might make the resurgence of 'twins' Ashara and Bogan reborn, again and again(which would make the Novel have another hidden meaning, as it (click to show/hide) was a sister trying to stop her fallen brother)

I wasn't really comfortable with the 'nobody important' answer either, given that #7 hinted so strongly that her parentage was significant somehow. But if they reverse that again in 9, it's going to come across as just cheap writing to keep changing their minds. It's possible Ren was lying or wrong (say, not recognizing a son or daughter of Kenobi as significant, making Rey his granddaughter), and it's not like 8 wasn't already pretty full of cheap and inconsistent writing, but I'd be kind of surprised if they change tracks again on this issue.

I wanted to love it; but, I kept seeing more socio-political points and less plot points.

raidem:
I just read more about jar jar.

He has made a return to naboo as a clown in a book that is Canon. He is trying to make people happy. He knows he made mistakes. And the people of naboo have ostracized him but the kids like him, thus he is a clown.

I think there is other sources that have Palpatine sending him off to an undisclosed location.  And I think those same sources have him going on several missions with Jedi etc and doing well so he could very well have learned much in politics and fighting missions since we have seen him last.

Palpatine had a contingency plan in case of his own death and it involved jakku, specifically blowing up the planet while both empire and republic forces were fighting near it.  And then having a remnant go to the unknown regions.
He also wanted many planets scorched including naboo. If the empire couldn't protect him, it didn't deserve to live.

Unfortunately it appears that the nerds last refuge (Star Wars, new Star Trek series, Ghostbusters, certain comic book related things) have been hijacked for this purpose, and it's sad.  As a nerd I enjoyed a magical world to get away from the stresses of the real world only to find even my fantasy worlds are now being infringed on.
