No but really, it seems to me the more information and such is given out, the more I'm seeing as all this being very...basic and not exactly all this uber elite stuff people going on about.
Or well I guess in the overall scheme of things, I'm sure just from the movies it's obviously quite great.
Also explains her ability to mow down the Praetorian Guards(who were extremely well-trained in multiple disciplines) alongside Kylo, despite having NO lightsaber combat training whatsoever.
Aside from that, it seemingly puts an asterisk next to any showings where Rey and Kylo are fighting in the same vicinity as one another, as their individual abilities were being bolstered by presence of the other.
Well at least that's explained...even if training would have probably been better, I mean the whole bond thing could still work, just could have thrown in training too.
There was no reason to have the entire ST take place so close together(TFA, TLJ, and RoS... They are all set in the same calendar year, ffs.) Space out the timeline a bit. Have Rey receive some proper Jedi training from Leia, the ghosts of Luke/Yoda/Kenobi, and the ancient texts, THEN tack on the bond/dyad concept.
Possibly.
As mentioned, it's definitely worth giving all scenes where they are fighting in the same vicinity a double-take. /shrug

So much for them getting great feats. I mean not that those aren’t, but if they come from the fact that they are close together, then individually we still don’t really have any idea where they actually are.
Well it would make sense with this whole.....Force Dyad thing...that and it seems it’s constantly noted that the two of them are each a half. Though given the whole thing with Ben, kinda wondering how it’s gonna go post movie.

This is from the ROS VD and not some other source right?
If so; most of Kylo and Reys notable feats from the movies are now suspect because most of them were done while they were in the same area as one another. Like Zenwolf said- now it's even harder to gauge their individual powers.
I'm also curious if this was a known factoid in Legends or w/e?: https://i.imgur.com/8D2LrMM.jpg "Like the Imperial ships of the past, these new-generation Star Destroyers carry a miniaturized sun within the solar ionization reactor that bulges from their ventral hull [...] distributing it to such intensive systems as hyperdrives and sublight propulsion."

Because it looked cool? No but really yeah, they could have just easily stored a giant reactor powerful enough to power the superweapon. I mean they clearly have an *** load of resources sooo...why not?
But then the FO isn't exactly high with competence....
