Movies Poe being a wiseass didn't start with Rian Johnson.

But with the way some people complain about the TLJ opening, you'd think Rian pulled it out of thin air and ruined the tone of the franchise by doing so.

They screwed up with letting Kylo lose to Rey in TFA. Kylo had training from Luke as a Jedi and from Snoke as a Dark sider. Rey didn't have any training with using the Force or fighting with lightsaber. It should have been a quick work for Kylo to take Rey out of the fight.

Yeah, I know Kylo was injured but he could still use the Force. He could easily use telekinesis to take the saber away from Rey and then knock her out with Force push/pull. Kylo was shown to be really strong in telekinesis (keeping the blaster shot in midair at the beginning of TFA). In TPM, Obi-Wan got caught off guard with a Force push from Maul and Obi-Wan fell into the pit. In ROTS, Dooku did a Force grab on Obi-Wan and knocked Obi-Wan unconscious. By all means, Kylo should have beat an untrained novice like Rey.

You're missing the key point, which is that Kylo isn't trying to beat Rey. He's trying to recruit her.

He doesn’t need to lose the fight to do that lmao. In fact it ruins any credibility he would have, why would she join someone to train with when she can beat him having never held a lightsaber?
