Also you can hardly fault TFA for setting up expectations
They don't set expectations. They flagrantly litter scenes with references - "You probably didn't recognize me because of the red arm" - that were very obviously supposed to be periferal content independent of the movies themselves. That's obnoxious in and of itself. But then this content isn't released in any kind of timely manner. So you just feel like you're watching an ad for some other shit that nobody is actually selling.
the sequel deliberately threw in the trash
TFA threw the entire original series in the trash. Three movies about defeating the Evil Empire and TFA opens with a fractured Rebellion, a system spanning Empire, and a Death Star Plus.
All you fuckers had to do was option the Timothy Zhan novels. Instead, we got this shit.

The fact that they chose to instead throw Thrawn into Rebels and had Timothy Zhan write a new Thrawn trilogy into there shitty new era instead never fails to fill me with unending rage. :monke-rage:
They did set expectations though, planting questions in the mind of the audience: who is Snoke, who is Rey exactly, etc. And then the sequel answered them with "nobody lol fuck you"
But I definitely misinterpreted your complaint, and when stated that way I definitely agree as well
