Flash VS Substance...

Possible Spoilers:
I am a big SW fan, & I don't like to be ' Scrooge ' at Xmas Time.
BUT-I have to say I am disappointed with ' SW: TFA '.
-Why? Here is My List of Problems with Plot/Script:
If the Empire was gone for all those years, then how were they able to reconstitute, AND construct a Giant Planet Killing Machine???
This means that things are now essentially right back to where they were at the start of, " A New Hope ", and so the plot of Ep 7 is basically just a re-working of Ep 4!
No clear explanation as to why Rey is so strong with The Force?
No clear explanation why Luke is the ONLY surviving Jedi, when he had all those years train others (Unless we are to assume that Ren killed them all, but that is not clear either)?
No clear explanation why Ren was seduced to the Dark Side in the first place?
No clear explanation of who ' Snoke ' is, or how he came to power?
The cameos of the original cast were handled too awkwardly, with all the subtlety & finesse of a hit in the head with a 2x4.
The bad guy took off his mask way too soon; IF he is the Bad Guy, then you don't want to ' humanize ' him, by seeing his face!
It was too obvious that Han Solo was going to die in his confrontation with Ren.
These are just what I have noticed so far...
Sorry if this is a " Ba-Humbug ", but I think we fans deserved better.
