I was expecting this movie to be a soulless, cynical cash grab for Disney, but am honestly shocked it was as bad as it was. Fits right in with the prequels.

Kylo Ren isn't a Sith Lord. It isn't even known if he's a Sith, or far beyond the equivalent to "Padawan" level in his training. The movie attempted to make it clear that all of the characters were "heroes of the future" and still works in progress in terms of their training and skill.

A wounded Kylo basically owns Finn, and is then closely matched by an extremely force-sensitive Rey. No sin against Star Wars canon or need for "nerd rage" in my view.
