Also 40 years since the emperor and his right hand/lackey were killed and the empire is still kicking? unless of course the rebels are now tasked with crushing what's left of the empire and they really suck at it or there are systems that want to stay an empire.

One of the things that isn't clear in RotJ is that only a relatively small percentage of the Empire's Navy is destroyed (or captured) at Endor. The majority of the fleet retreats after the Emperor's death. Plus the Empire is really REALLY big. Only one of many fleets was at Endor and then there's all the troops stationed on various worlds. Besides, the new Sith is a likely rallying point for Empire loyalists.
Verrkol is right to some extent, the Empire was HUGE, and Palpatine should have had several contigencies already planned. I would believe the Galaxy has two opposing goverments ruling different planets each by the start of the movie.
However, if you guys are hungry for info, starting september there are going to be books released that will fullfill the time between Episode 6 and Episode 7.
Two books in particular will expand a lot of the new cannon and directly relate to Episode 7: "Aftermath" and "The Weapon of a Jedi", that has Luke as protagonist. There is also a Leia specific book, but info on it is limited.
The most important thing to be noted is that the Empire DID NOT fall during the battle of Endor.
And about The Force Awakens, I am pretty sure Kylo Ren is the son of etheir Luke or Leia and Han, hence the initial phrase by Luke in Teaser 2.
