I can live with TFA but all the trilogy has going for it are the projections of what TFA could have led into.

I was ok with that fight, though lets be honest, Finn with 0 light saber experience, and 0 Force aptitude should have been taken apart by a highly trained former Jedi, Dark side user fueled by rage. That fight could have been used better to show how powerful Kylo was.


The fight between Kylo and Rey fueled my theory at the time that she was either a clone of Anakin or a clone of Palpatine as part of a contingency plan that Sidious put together in case he or Vader fell.


I mean even going back to that fight there were elements of Sidious's fight against the three Jedi, and a lot of elements taken from Anakin's fight against Dooku.



Even the fact that she seemed to be savoring Kylo's suffering when she was wounding him and pacing very much like Maul.



At least with the theory I had at the time it could have explained Rey's afinity to the Force and fighting.
