You raise some good points Dan. I don't agree with all of them, but that's OK. We can agree to disagree. Part of me keeps returning to this thread to vent frustration, but also because I enjoy the exchange of ideas.
Same here, man! I've thoroughly enjoyed the exchanges with you and other folks here! :cheers
Moreover it was obvious to me that Kylo did not actually want to kill her much like Vader did not actually want to kill Luke. She turned the duel around on a whim and then they got separated by deus ex appearing ravine. Same for Finn, Ren was obviously toying with him and at the first moment when Finn posed threat he cut the duel short. Much like Vader in Empire.
Right, in that duel, my recollection is that he was trying to capture Rey, not kill her. So in that sense, there's no reason to fear for her life per se. In their second "duel" (where Kylo tries to convince her to join him in TLJ and they have their contest of wills over the sabre), again, he's trying to convince her to join him, so I don't fear for her life, although there's a risk to her safety, certainly.
