To be fair, Finn stated that was the first time he was asked to kill.
It's already bad enough Troopers can't aim for the life of them. Now we're to believe some of them can be chickenshit too?
The First Order has me shaking in my boots.
The one thing that bugged me straight after though was Kylo revealing his face so early on... It would've made much more of an impact if they had saved it for the scene with Hans I reckon.
That's a great point. Especially have Han say something like "you're not Vader" in order to coax him to take it off.
Like Kylo's force powers seem to supersede Vader's in some respects (stopping the lazer/beam) but then a bit lame when it came to the lightsaber dueling when even rookies can put up a fight against him.
Well, to be fair, dueling and force powers are pretty separate. Being one with the Force doesn't mean you know how to be an insanely good fighter. You train how to be good with a sword. I can buy that Ken is not THAT proficient with the lightsaber yet.
Ren should've force-held Finn and slashed his back and did the same once more to Rey, only for Rey to break free with her own Force powers showing Ren that his powers aren't strong enough before they get to fighting. That would've been great for a couple of reasons:
1. It gives Ren a reason to hate Rey and to question his own Force abilities. His objective is to be the strongest one with the Force and anyone he knows that can come close to that (Luke, Leia, ect) must be destroyed. The fact that Rey comes along and outdoes him should piss him off.
2. It shows Rey's transformation come full circle. It would've helped if she had some indication there was something within her but never did anything, had "training" in the form of reading up ancient texts or something, have Ren overpower her the first time (which is a great scene), then finally taps into her Force abilities by the time the battle comes along.
3. It prevents Ren from doing anything against her Force related as that one act would've made it abundantly clear she's more powerful.

Han Solo should Tricia Helfer the shit out of Kylo Ren in the next movie, minus the sex. It would be the light side taking the form of a guilty conscience to pull him back.
My theory: Snoke is Luke. He left a map leading to him as a test. The one who found him first was worthy of becoming a true Sith Lord. But, it wasn't Ren, it was Rey.
Yeah, that will never happen.
Perhaps. Ford is coming back in the next one, so we're either seeing that or flashback scenes.
