Kylo Ren wasn't a Sith Lord. He didn't didn't even had a Darth prefix to his name. His Lightsaber was garbage and many times throughout the film they mentioned he had training to finish. He was a better version of Luke in Empire and Return, training but wasn't nearly finished. The parallels between his and Luke's story were great and obvious too. Where Kylo was able to finish murder his father and become more powerful with the Dark Side then ever, Luke didn't and stayed true to the Jedi way.
Loved the movie besides that, Rey was a fantastic character and Daisy Ridley was awesome. She was like a young Keira Knightly in the Pirates movies. Young and naive but more than capable of taking care of herself. Visually they look like sisters too.
Luke's reveal was fantastic, looked great. A weathered veteran of war and combat, not the pudgy sweaty Mark Hamill we've seen. Hope he stays in good old man health for the remaining too.
Thought Oscar Isaac's Poe was underutilized but there is plenty of movies left. Will he be in the X Wing spin off?
Totally didn't see Han's death coming at all, not even during that confrontation.
Lots more thoughts but those are the initial ones. Awesome flick.
