It makes sense that Ren pretty much KO'd poor Finn after a minute or so. Unfortunately for Ren, that last-minute hustle didn't end too well for him. The Dark Side of the Force draws its power from pain, so in worsening his pain, he was rallying to kick some more of our precious main characters' butts. You'll recall how he still "feels the pull of the Light" (ugh, can the Light just stop calling and leave a voicemail?), and it clearly infuriates him. Which brings us to another interesting point: Ren beats that wound with his fist mid-battle, seemingly worsening it right at a critical juncture. So Ren got up from a shot that would have murdered any other man, walks it off, and then goes down into the forest to fight Finn and Rey as he is leaking blood all over the place. Nobody says it more eloquently than Tumblr user shaochilong-maortuensis, who points out that, in prior films, this weapon has killed people with one shot and shredded an entire vehicle. Chewie's bowcaster is notorious for tearing sh*t up. Let's consider for a moment exactly what that means.
Right after homeskillet murders Han Solo, Chewbacca tears him a new one with his bowcaster. Consider the following: Kylo Ren Got Shot By Chewbacca - Hard There were several factors that helped our heroes out, and which made Rey's victory not only believable, but a little bit inevitable. The combatants may be equally powerful in the Force - hell, Rey might even be stronger than Ren - but viewers are right in saying that at this point in the game, she shouldn't be able to take him on when he's in top-notch form and win. The truth is that it was not a fair fight at all.
But if you were paying attention, the fight actually makes perfect sense. And true, after Rey woke up from her little snow nap, it seemed a bit like she was hitting the "That was easy!" button in whooping that overly-tall angst baby's butt, considering how Kylo Ren is a feared Sith who blows up planets for breakfast. While I don't think it's any more fair to call Rey a Mary Sue than it is to call Luke Skywalker one, the main thing adding fuel to the haters' fire is the fact that Rey defeated Kylo Ren in battle at the end of The Force Awakens with no lightsaber or Force training at all.
I already take issue with this, as the term's primarily used to diminish strong female characters and invalidate the interests of female audiences. A lot of Star Wars fans have been accusing the writers of making Rey a Mary Sue, or a "wish fulfillment" character.
