"There's a New Republic!" "There's a Resistance against the First Order! (why?)" But what the f*** does any of this mean, and why? What did those New Republic planets blowing up mean to the New Republic? Again, no sense of stakes or playing field or anything.
We literally receive 0 answers to any of these questions. I'm more surprised that people aren't equally as confused as me.

That was my absolute biggest issue with the TFA. I had no idea what the stakes were.
