I think it had to do with the shot he took from Chewy, he seemed to be bleeding pretty bad from it, which led to him losing a lot of strength and having to use some of his Force just to keep standing.


I think that's what the movie wants you to think. Throughout the film they portray Chewie's bowcaster as if it were almost a handheld cannon. Enemies get knocked flying from the impact, and Han even asks to try it out.

So yeah, I can see the argument that can be made that Kylo wasn't fighting at close to full strength. Still, it seems a bit much to think that, even injured, a powerful and almost fully trained force user wouldn't mop the floor with an ex-janitor who ran at the first battle he saw.

Finn could have received training in a saber-type combat. That one stormtrooper with the the electric staff looking thing is evidence of that.


Thats a good point, and Im good with him putting up a great fight against the other soldier, but I can't see him standing a chance against one of the most powerful people in the galaxy, who solely uses that weapon.

Also hadn't thought about him being significantly injured, so I can believe the last fight quite a bit more.

Been reading the Movie board a lot since Star Wars came out. Others have mentioned the books that came out that go into more detail about the characters and apparently Finn was top 1% of his class in all categories and being a janitor was just his first job starting at the bottom of the totem poll.
