I don't know why they have light sabers at all when they can just force kill everybody. Plus they can stop blaster bolts in mid air or block them with their hands (Vader in ESB). Heck, according to some of you guys getting shot in the gut with a blaster doesn't even slow them down. Hell even if they do get killed what difference does it make? They just continue on as force ghosts.  Or if they're Sith, they just come back to life!

It would have been cool to see him use his Force powers, but I'm certainly not holding it against the movie for not showing it. I'm with the other guy, I think it's a bizarre complaint. It's only of the staples of the series, I can't single out this movie for continuing that. It's completely valid, especially since Ben THROWS AWAY his lightsaber right before flying to Exegol! Lol. If he can't fight for shit without a lightsaber, why would he do that? You hear that? It's the sound of the purpose of that scene flying right over your head.
Besides the fact that throwing away that lightsaber was symbolic of him not being Kylo Ren anymore, how would he know he was going to have to fight half a dozen people, LOL? You're holding characters and writers accountable for things based on some very strange rationale. At no point does Ren tell us, the audience, "I will face my former followers in combat. I'll need my lightsaber, but shall throw it away!" Now that would be fucking dumb, but that's not what happened. That's another invalid criticism. There's no merit to it.
No, saying, "Why does Kylo Ren need a weapon to beat 6 armed people, when Obi Wan - who didn't actually beat Jango - fought 1 guy without a weapon?!" is not "valid". It's the definition of apples to oranges.

Sure. It was reasonable for him to expect no resistance returning there. He can't fight for shit without a lightsaber. He'll just waltz right in and talk Palps into killing himself....

Knights Of The Ren Table
Monty Python
We're Knights of the Ren Table,
We dance when 'ere we're able,
We do routines and Saber scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here on Coruscant
We eat ham and jam and Porg a lot.
We're Knights of the Ren Table,
Our shows are formidable,
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're Opera mad on Coruscant
We sing from the diaphragm a looooooot.
In Clone Wars we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our tasks, we wear Black Masks,
And impersonate Darth Vader
It's a busy life on Coruscant
I have to push the pram a lot!

Eh dodnt think it's fair to count Vader's durability as a fixture to all force users, he is essentially an evil Robocop with psychic powers after all, far more durable than the average meat sack.
