The Force Awakens was... OK?

So, I basically stopped really caring about Star Wars a while back, but Noelle organized an expedition to see The Force Awakens today, so I went and saw it. It was OK? There were substantial parts that didn't make a lot of sense, or at least weren't sufficiently clarified, so I'm basically going to complain about it here.

( Cut for spoilers )

...OK. I'm done complaining for now. There's more I could say but I think that would be picking nits. The original left a lot unexplained too, after all, and wasn't really the worse for it. These are just the things I think need explaining or fixing.
