People sleep on Abrams but he nailed TFA. It was supposed to be a safe introductory movie and it did that, but it also added just enough subversion and hints at future themes to make it interesting and a good lead in to TLJ.

The fact that Rey's parents were nobodies started in TFA. The fact that Kylo would turn against his past and his master but not ever turn good also started in TFA. The downfall of the Jedi and Luke's likely ambivalence also started there. The massive power inflation of the Force started there, as well as hinting to the themes of balance and letting go of the past which are core to TLJ.

TLJ made explicit a lot of stuff TFA laid down as likely theories. This is fine, unless you were really holding out for the slim chance the theories went in a different direction, which is a dumb thing to do and you're dumb and deserve what you get.
