[SOILERS] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Thread

[Safon]

To everyone complaining Kylo got beat too easily

1. He was gut shot by a bowcaster shortly before the fight occurred

2. He is only partially trained, as indicated by Snoke's order to bring him at the end of the movie to complete his training

3. He takes a further hit to the shoulder before cutting down Finn, and is further injured when he faces Rey. Unsure why he didn't use the force on Finn, maybe just wanted to put the guy in his place the old fashioned way, maybe just a dumb plot device.

4. Rey is almost certainly Luke's daughter, and thus belongs to the immediate family of force sensitive prodigies in the universe. Kylo does as well, but Rey is Luke's direct offspring, Kylo is Leia's, and Rey is likely some kind of prodigy like her father and his father before him, unlike Kylo. Rey may also have received some kind of training in the past, she clearly has some kind of mental block in place.

5. As mentioned, Finn and Rey have at least some level of combat training.

Only partially trained...
Put in charge of your new empire's most valuable asset.

Pick one please!

Why it's Star Wars cursed with such bad plot?

I believe General Hux is in charge, he and Kylo have a similar sort of setup to Vader and that imperial admiral before Vader winds up answering only to the emperor.

Tarkin was clearly above Vader. Hux is equal to Kylo.

Because there would have been widespread riots if the black guy died because that would be racist unless kylo was black also.

He sure didn't look partially trained in the beginning, when he was stopping blaster shots and such.
Maybe he is stronger when he is wearing his helmet? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In that scene he has not been shot in the gut with a bowcaster, nor is he emotionally unstable from recently murdering his father.

He also wasn't up against a flawless strong independent Mary Sue clad in plot armor.

Interestingly, it's Kylo Ren's flaws that make him the only compelling character in the movie. He's the only multidimensional character who has his inner conflicts and motivations explored at any more than the most superficial level.
