The biggest thing for me is the jarring storyline difference between the first two movies, I don't know if Disney agreed with the changes, but the new charactes weren't great, and the characters from TFA were completely different people. Rian made a pretty movie, but the writing was terrible.

I mean this could be a problem for me. The Republic Fleet was gone, and the Resistance fleet was gone at the end the TLJ and no help was coming. I did state that I figured that the First Order was devastated at the end of the movie as well. A massive fleet battle might not make sense unless they address how both sides got these massive fleets. Even in ROTJ the Rebels didn't have a huge fleet compared to the Imperial Navy, but it was part of the plot that the small guy kicks the bully in the junk.

I have a gut that this is a new planet. On a side note on theforce.net there was a great article on the Ewok Holocaust where they calculated how the destruction of the Death Star lead to the end of the Ewoks.
