Well as per Canon, there aren't many that have the whole "one of the most powerful combatants" accolade going around, well compared to Legends anyway...so Kylo having it shouldn't be that ridiculous despite his one showing when there were circumstances against it.
Next movie will probably show just how great he stacks up.

Its just weird to hype him up after he had an awful first showing against Rey and Finn.

I assume the content is vetted, but even so it merely echoes how his power's been described in other sources.
Ah, so even if it shouldn't be taken at face value, it helps substantiate other sources? That's fair. These pieces seem opinionated, and while they may be vetted for misinformation, I don't think they can be declared as truth without other sources.

Kylo, he's just better. Oh yeah those starwars.com writers, who wrote the blog, also help write Star Wars Insider so they should have more detailed knowledge then the fans.
Didn't know that. Does add some credence to their responses then, but like I said, I wouldn't take their word as fact.

Kylo Ren has a lifetime of training and practice, is one of the most powerful combatants in the history of Star Wars, and is the leader of the Knights of Ren.
Not an official statement, but that's cool, because if we include those kind then we can also use those top 10 lists for information, in which case there's yet another source saying Yoda took everything Palpatine threw at him, and more confirmation of him as the most powerful Jedi 🙂
