I mentioned this point in my original post in this thread. This movie wraps up a bit too neatly. Unlike Empire there's no plot lines leading into the next movie. We aren't left wondering.
Maybe creating new lore was the wrong way to put it. I'm really glad non of these fan culture tropes were indulged in this movie. Who cares who Rey's parents are, who Snoke is. JJ didn't care beyond his lizard brain impulsive need to substitute "mystery" for good storytelling.
Snoke was a stand in bad guy that was needed for Kylo to reach his arc. That's all he was. All this bleating about him being the cloned remains of Darth Idontgiveacrap was not important to this story. Just as the Emperor's backstory in the trilogy wasn't necessary.
