Its just dumb man, the whole new thing is just poorly thought out garbage... sure the kids gobble it up, but that doesnt make it any good

Ok, here's the thing with that scenario -
Kylo was emotionally compromised from just shoving his lightsaber through his dad's gut, and was still fighting that internal emotional battle as Han fell into the depths. Then, he takes a bowcater bolt to the side from Chewie (and they had made a point throughout the movie to show how powerful his weapon is, from guys flipping through the air to Han telling him he liked it after he blew about four troopers up with it). He was clearly not running on all cylinders when Finn and Rey took him on. I feel like he was toying with Finn, but Finn got lucky and nicked him causing Kylo to put an end to that ricky tick. Rey just caught him at the perfect time; there is no way she could have beaten him if he was uninjured and focused. JMO.
