I'm just frustrated with the Abrams (LOST style) mysteries in Force Awakens having no payoff or resolution.

1. The lightsaber sparked visions and was the point of much of the quest. Nothing is revealed about how it ended up from Bespin to the magic treasure chest.

2. Knights of Ren are ignored completed. Rain scene ignored. Much of Rey's vision ignored.

3. Rey is barely trained at all and is suddenly one of the most powerful and natural light-side fighters of all time.

4. Snoke shows up and dies. Nothing explained about his origins. How did he infiltrate the training school and influence Kylo?

5. Was the dark-side chasm/pool with the mirror pointless? I thought it would be like the dark tree on Dagobah where Luke saw his dark-side path/destiny as the next Vader. Instead, Rey just asked to find her parents and saw her own reflection. What does that have to do with the dark side?

All in all the new trilogy has thrown away all the potential of really giving an emotional resolution to things from the original trilogy and has cast them aside. It could have given us a good story about Anakin's saber. It could have let Han Solo actually meet Luke Skywalker and have a funny moment like "come on kid! (and Luke isn't a kid anymore). Snoke could have had more to tie him into Sith lore and how he managed to gather so much power. Luke could have had a better send-off. Admiral Ackbar should have been the Jurassic Park girl and been the one to survive and ram the ship at lightspeed.
