Yeah we still don't yet know what inadvertent effects were caused by those Sith objects, Palpatine observatory, digsite, etc. Palpatine also believed Jakku to be important to the galaxy for some reason which is why he was so focused on it.
Quantus:
I didnt mind most of the things that people are bothered about, in that Im ok with Snoke's backstory being unimportant, and Im actually really pleased that they didnt try to tie Rey into on of the established Bloodlines (and especially showing the random orphan kid developing force powers at the end) as Im not in the camp that says Star Wars /has/ to remain the Skywalker Saga forevermore.
I do really with they'd spent even a throw-away line on how the First Order gained so much resources. The Contingency from the Expanded Universe makes a whole lot of sense but Id never heard of it until one of the guys at work mentioned it. That was the main thing I wanted explained definitively: how the blood hell did the First Order gain so much resources both militarily and economically in such a short amount of time. If they were simply conquering and looting Planets it would be one thing, if they stumbled across a cache of Empire weapons that's another, but either way Id like them to address it directly.
PS. The line that made the movie for me: "Watch your Language, R2!"

How did the Rebellion take down the Empire and in 20+ years lose everything they had gain?

My quick review showed that there were fractures within the New Republic, with Imperial Operatives either working as and/or working with Republic Senators. Some Senators were involved in side deals that helped the New Order and these were kept hidden. The Republic Senate often was stalemated into lack of action. So, the Republic essentially disbanded their military while the New Order created/regrouped theirs.
Lea, tired of the New Republics stalemate, created the Resistance so as to finally take action against the New Order and work toward exposing it so that the New Republic would finally act. Many of the great heroes of the Rebellion then joined her resistance which is how Admiral Ackbar came to be with Lea. He came out of retirement to help knowing that the New Republic was failing and that a Resistance needed to be created to do what the Republic was failing to do.
