Besides, that has nothing to do with my point. My point is that good guys being weaker again is a boring rehash element.

I wouldn’t say the Resistance was weaker than the First Order. The First Order is only a fraction the size of the Empire, and the Resistance was secretly supported by the New Republic. Sure the FO had a not-a-death star, but they (as far as we know) seem to only have one capital ship and not a whole lot of clout in terms of galactic control. The Resistance is still rag-taggy like the Rebellion, but I think this time the fight is more evenly matched (although this may not be true in Ep. VIII given the destruction of the Republic capitol).
