Goading people can be a great character roleplaying opportunity. Often it's the GM running an NPC who will taunt and goad the PCs. But if you're a player, don't overlook the chance to goad NPCs into doing things.
Or being victims.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Oh dear. That's not a good sign. I know Force Lightning is just a defensive thing in the comic, but that is decidedly not the case in the movies. Are the writers realizing that they haven't had a proper Dark Side temptation for Rey yet and thought that this would be a good way to throw it in with this second Kylo-Rey fight? The slime pit cave could be argued as a temptation, but there wasn't really anyone else there, just Rey.
And Chewie was probably on that ship too! It doesn't look like it's completely destroyed yet, so there's still a little bit of hope. Right? They haven't found the body yet either, and I would hope that Chewie at least rates a death scene of some kind. Or maybe this is a fake-out? There were two transports earlier, so it'd also be somewhat possible he's on the other one. Why the empty one would take off now though..... I've got nothing.

Pilot: Emergency thrust! Reroute power!
Kylo Ren: One girl. With a sword. You call that a threat? Pathetic.
Pilot: We’re doing all we can!
Kylo Ren: Your ship has weapons, does it not?
Pilot: Yes, but—
Kylo Ren: She is faltering. And still you panic? You’re not soldiers. You’re cowards!
Pilot: I’ll show you! All guns aim at the girl!!
Rey: Wait, what?!
Kylo Ren: You’re concentrating all your Force power on an attacker...
Kylo Ren: ... who is now very, very angry.
Rey: What’s that got to do with—
GM: {realising} Ohhhh...
[SFX]: Zaaap!!! {Force Drain lightning erupts from Rey’s hands, destroying the transport}
[SFX]: Ka-boom!!!
