   I highly doubt we'll see Ren until he's back and "fully trained", fueled by   
   rage.   
      
   A lot of opinions is about Finn/Rey holding their own against Ren in a light   
   saber duel. But to me, that makes perfect sense.   
      
   in TFA, Ren is a poser, a wannabe. He's never fought another Jedi, he's never   
   received any lightsaber training, for all we know, the light saber he uses was   
   built by himself, given its "unstable" appearance.   
      
   So, while neither Finn or Rey are Jedis, they could plausibly be claimed to   
   have as much "fighting with sticks" experience as Ren. Finn does get his ass   
   handed to him in the end, of course, so maybe not as much for him. Rey already   
   have a staff in the movie, which may be a weapon, don't actually remember if it   
   ever does anything.   
      
   EpVIII will be very interesting!
