So in The Force Awakens, the salvager girl and the former stormtrooper can somehow use lightsabers to a degree despite having no training and actually perform decently against the main bad guy. I get that Ben defeated the stormtrooper, but it's still a bit absurd that the latter can keep up with a trained user of the lightsaber despite having no actual training in swordplay (unless stormtrooper training involved swordplay). And the girl actually overpowered Han's son, who's supposed to be the grandson of one of the most Force-sensitive humans in the galaxy. What's the logic behind this? It doesn't really make Ben look good, being defeated by someone who just started using a lightsaber for the first time.

Okay, that makes more sense than how I saw it. ---
