Kylo did it to Finn too, I think twice.

apparently it's a new thing. if subsequent directors keep doing it, eventually people will realize it's just as bad for lightsaber fights as jumping around twirling was.

Finn just nicked him

It's possible his armor played a part since he took a direct hit from Chewies fucking bowcaster and wasn't absolutely btfo

It happened in the prequels as well, just not as much. I think it only happened in Episode II. Dooku nicked Obi-Wan lightly, although Dooku did it soft on purpose, so it appears

Luke did that to Vader in Empire too

His robe is inlaid with Yuuzhan Vong armor. It's all part up setting up the big YV reveal.

>nicks from a lightsaber slice people in half

Minor cuts were common in swordfighting, why should it be any different in SW, especially between people who are noobs at fighting with lightsabers.
>new thing
Rewatch the movies.

the lightsaber hit was only grazing. it wasn't a through-and-through clean slash.

how retarded do you have to be to ask this question

also kylo rens hit on finn than ended the fight actually shows his skill with the blade since it was a precision slice that only penetrated deep enough to presumably slice his spinal cord

It happened in the originals as well.

I think people just get the concept of lightsabers. They think they can cut through anything like a hot knife through butter, but really you still need to put some effort into your slashes.
They're basically like cylindrical swords with edges on all sides of them.
