In the current time there is no one proficient in the use of lightsabers.. Luke's academy was wiped out and Rylo is still pretty young and probably has not spent too much time in battle with comparable adversaries. Probably just executions. Rey seems to have some fighting skills already and i can believe that she could hold her own.
Ren was 1) trying to convert her haphazardly 2) obviously is not in control of his emotions 3) was injured and 4) Rey does have some force skills
Personally, i love it. I understand the homage to the old one and i think this one had to have some sort of closure to that. It introduces a new generation of characters while ending storylines of older ones.
I also really got a clone wars vibe from it. Action packed and solid characters. I like it. No way i could ever watch the prequels now.
I am going to do a second viewing as I went with my 4 year old and had to deal with a 4 year old. I probably missed some subtle things.
