To be fair though, The Emperor/Palpatine was only mentioned when discussing the Senate in ANH and didn't appear until via hologram in ESB. Who the Emperor was, wasn't at all explained until the PT. Vader was really the only one that needed to be explained in the OT due to his relation to Luke and Leia, and that was explained over the course of the trilogy itself.
What I'm interested in finding out though, is why there was a black X-Wing in some of the set photos we saw but in all the footage we have seen in trailers we only see the typical grey/white coloration.

I have read that we get a decent amount of information on Kylo though. Unfortunately, that information comes at a significant cost.
