Disney Scraps Plans For Further Star Wars Storys

She was a rank amateur. He had a much better grip of the Force in any state. Well, actually no. Super Rey did ;)
 
How many times does he punch himself in the leg?
It just translated unbelievable right from the start. Kylo reaching his hand out for the saber and barely getting it to quiver, then all of a sudden it goes flying into the air and Rey owns it! When he said you need a teacher, I wanted to laugh. Like hell she does.

He. Was. Off. His. Game. She was focused very hard. Her survival instinct kicked in.

Why is that so hard to believe?

If Kylo was at the top of his game, he absolutely would have been able to take her. He had a blaster bolt to the leg. A lightsaber slash to the arm. He was emotionally compromised after KILLING HIS FATHER. I don’t know about you, but one of those would be enough to mess me up.

Some of the best showdowns are when the villain or even the hero is reaching deep. The Force IS about reaching deep. Kylo should have been able to beat Rey who was a novice.
 
He was set up in the movie to be like mini Darth. Did she even get a scratch? I think she worked up a little sweat in the snow.
No. He was set up to be powerful but undisciplined. He was wounded, conflicted, and emotionally unstable. He still had training to complete, according to Snoke. Calling him a "mini Darth" is being far more generous and reading in to the material than even the film stated.

Oh, and he knocks Rey out of the fight for a bit too.

Kylo's lack of completion of training still rather dominates Rey's complete and utter nothingness of training. She didn't just outright kick his arse physically she got the better of him with Force. That is just stupid.

She opened herself up to the Force and allowed it to "control her actions" as Obi-Wan would describe it.

No, it's not stupid. It is consistent within the text of Star Wars. Kylo is not at his top game in this fight, is already worn down from fighting (and toying with) Finn, and bleeding out. He is emotional conflicted, and not drawing from his full potential.

Any one of these things could inhibit the best of fighters, and Kylo is not the best.

Let's say you're a highly trained MMA fighter who gets ambushed by a group of thugs with knives and guns and you get shot and stabbed; your opponents' lack of formal training isn't going to mean jack in comparison to your injuries.
