Another reason why this franchise relaunch is stoopid as fukk is. they never tell us how the first order arose again at all from the empire.
Nor do they tell us if the fukk'n storm troopers are an assort men of clones or slaves that have been mindwiped nor the process.
Of which the whole last movie and the franchise is rooted in the mystery of the new storm trooper. To the point, they never explain why Finn has conflict with phasma at all. To the point why would a female commander of phasma's level even be worried about a guy who they said was an actual custodial engineer before they gave him a blaster. When easily the easiest re-write they could have for finn's origin is make him the ambassador of cloud city's la do calrissian's son. Which by just connection could have easily made Finn force sensitive.
Plus, given him an apprentice Jedi role alongside rey with Luke's tutelage. Which makes for a more compelling and story and showcases this diversity they say they are going. Yet are not and this is a feminist vehicle when it does not have to be. As all female star wars characters were given intelligent plausible weight and adequate attention. Plus went against the norm to have the damsel in distress and change the dynamic completely from the norm of helpless. To an assurred royal commander and leader. Plus that gets wrapped into the mythical family name of the series main character and content as well.
Again this newly launched franchise is a fukk'n betrayal.

Everything you mentioned is in the new canon books, which I know doesn't help people who are just trying to watch the flicks. The war didn't end after the Death Star II blew up but lasted for another year. After losing the war, a remnant of the Empire retreated into the "Unknown Regions" of the galaxy where they rebuilt their forces. Over the next 30, they accumulated enough wealth and firepower to create Starkiller Base.
Also while this was going on, The New Republic had their hands tied becaise they signed a peace treaty with the Empire after the war. Leia started the Resistance because she saw that the First Order was coming but no one in the New Republic thought they were threats. Hence them being shocked when the First Order blew their main planets up.
