If I remember the scene, Qui-Gon's been stabbed for quite a while before Obi-Wan gets to him, and lightsabers cauterize wounds (which would potentially make it harder to heal), so it's entirely possible that he was already too far Qui-Gone by that point.

Plus, you know, Obi-Wan was barely out of Jedi school at that point. And it's been implied that different Jedi have different levels of skill with different aspects of the Force, so it's also entirely possible that Obi-Wan wasn't good enough to heal the amount of damage he would have needed to in order to save him.

Then there's Rey who was reading Kylo's mind not even a week after finding out Jedis were real and beating him in a lightsaber duel her first time wielding one (don't give me that crap about her having combat experience because fighting with a staff is far different from fighting with a what is essentially a sword with a weightless blade)

Rey definitely didn't beat Kylo in a fair fight. Kylo was severely wounded physically and emotionally. And Rey didn't even show off any fancy moves with the lightsaber. She was swinging it around like a baseball bat the entire time.

A lot of people will deny it but I seriously think that if the Rey character was a guy, the fans would be drooling over how badass it was seeing the Force awaken in him and realize he had these powers!! and theyd be ok with the sequel trilogy.

It was a flaw, but one explanation is that it's a Palpatine ability. He taught Kylo, and Rey inherited it.

Before the video games and Episodes VII through IX. When Luke got knocked out by the Sand Raiders in Episode IV, I kinda interpreted Obi-Wan placing his hands over Luke's forehead as a "heal" of sort.

He's been shot in the side by a weapon which whose projectiles impact with enough force to literally knock people through the air, then stabbed with a burny laser sword of death, to say nothing of his emotions being in turmoil because he just murdered his father.

So he wasn't at his best, is what I'm saying.

At least Force Heal has some video game link to give it the thinnest veneer or cred. Stuff like the Holdo maneuver just breaks the lore of a leg with a crack.

ummm i hate to tell you this but the "Holdo maneuver" has some precedent in video games too. Starwars Battlefront II (2005) has a space mission where you have to shoot down a rebel cruiser before it can make the jump to hyperspace and "tear through" a star destroyer. I believe the mission is vader's fist strikes back.
