Ain’t nobody going to be as powerful in the force as Yoda and the Emperor and Vader were
Why not? Where is it specifically stated that no other beings could reach the prowess of Sidious or Yoda? Also perhaps Snoke privy to ancient Sith Force Abilities and taught Kylo a couple before Kylo went off to do First Order stuff
The fights get their meaning by what else is going on
That’s fine and all but the scene in which Kylo Ren freezes the blaster bolt isn’t even a fight scene it’s a moment in the first scene of the film that establishes how powerful our villain is (which of course ends up being misdirection.). There weren’t any other factors that could have enhanced the tension or importance of the scene. It’s unfair to compare the scenes to be honest.
