And frankly, Snoke( Emperor minion whose past was introduced in at least one of the novels between films; he was just a kid that Palpatine half-assed "trained" and set to watch over a private storehouse on Jakku ) and Phasma( super-trooper, genetic enhancements(?)) aren't the most interesting or even IMPORTANT characters in the grand scheme of things.
This was ALL ABOUT getting Ren and Rey to their respective positions as the only two force-wielding avatars of the dark and light respectively. Yes, Leia still exists at the end of TLJ, but "Leia the force-wielder" was never meant to be a centerpiece in the grand struggle of light vs. dark. It was never that way in the EU, and it won't be that way in the new canon, either.
Especially now that Carrie Fisher has left us. I'm pretty interested to see how THAT is going to play out, to say the least.
