[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 7689516, member: 870"] As pointed out, Luke doesn't lose very many fights at all. I will also point out, to the best of our knowledge, Luke didn't really get in many fights before getting his lightsabre either (the Tuskan Raiders got the drop on him). Rey has apparently for some time carried around and fought with her staff, so she already has some insight of the ins-and-outs of melee (and if D&D's BAB has taught us nothing else, it's that being trained in one weapon lets you use others too - Yes, that's tongue-in-cheek). Plus, the on-screen training Luke got with his lightsabre was pretty much centered around blocking laser blasts from a remote. I don't recall seeing Rey trying any of that defection stuff, so we really don't know if she can do any of that very well at all. Also also - Kylo Ren was shot by Chewie, then fought Finn while injured, and then fought Rey while still injured. I think being beaten after facing essentially three-on-one odds doesn't hurt his potential threat level too much. Also also also ;) - When the call of destiny came, Luke overcame the deaths of his uncle/aunt pretty darn quickly without an apparent lingering thought. Rey considered ignoring her call to destiny several times (and outright ran when finding Anakin's/Luke's lightsabre triggered its Force vision thing). She has plenty of weaknesses to face ahead of her. [/QUOTE]
