I'm not pointing any fingers at you Cap'n but I'd love to write a piece of #### screenplay and have other story universe experts and millions of nerdy fanboy apologists plug all the holes for me after the fact.
Some of the stuff people come up with to defend a mediocre movie is really impressive even by star wars fan standards.

A lot of it comes from the other books and source material that's been written.
The Aftermath books were frankly pretty bad, but they filled in how the First Order first formed. The Battlefront 2 game solo story with Infernal Squad was a big source.
Other books filled other stuff in.
I agree, the novel was needed to fill in too many plot points, and there was to me a major disconnection between the first movie and the second movie, that's actually very jarring.
I would expect that there will be more books and comics that fill in the blanks as well.
The one thing that I did like about the PT, is that for all of the dialogue problems, the story was pretty comprehensive in terms of the fall of the jedi and the republic.
