And Vader never held a blaster bolt in mid air like that. Ren’s potential is actually frightening.
Unlike many who dislike the film, I had no problem with that. I don’t think of Ren as being more powerful because of it, though. Perhaps different Force users tap into the Force in different ways. We never saw Vader zapping people with lightning, or Palpatine/the Emperor choking people. What cheapened him for me was his lack of proficiency with a lightsaber–against people who had never held one before.
and even Finn held his own for a little while.
Watch the movie again dude…Finn got destroyed. I literally just watched the leaked lightsaber fight scene on Facebook. Yes Finn get’s a lucky hit in like Luke got on Vader in ESB but that’s it. The rest of the fight Ren had Finn on the defensive and any offense from Finn was easily dodged and was equally parried/blocked.
