Nope, force healing is just for the light side. The only reason Kylo was able to is because he switched from dark to light.
Also to note the dark side don't turn in to force ghosts so when you saw Kylo 'disappear' you know he's definitely turned to the light side.
Disney's business model of these movies seem to be that way. Deliberately omit stuff so to make people get the books/comic/etc to understand basic facts.

This is two movies.
The first is the movie JJ wanted to make, his Star Wars.
The second is the movie he had to make, to tie things up.
I think he didn't get the run at it he wanted in TFA and was likely under instruction from above to recapture the OT so that's what we got.

Lastly, this is brilliant.
Why?
Because it's the icing on the cake of a thoroughly disastrous series of films. No matter what you think of each one individually, this trilogy has been a fail, a great example of what not to do. I would not believe it if anyone told me that the trilogy is better than the PT. There's no flow, no coherency, no structure between, and an unrealistic passing of time that shrinks a setting that was previously fleshed out and realised.
Why is that good?
Because maybe now people can look back at George Lucas and think well, he gave it his best with no help. He deserves that. These films had everything going for them and still ****ed it up beyond anybody's wildest expectation. The budgets and access to talent and full support of an industry with the world's biggest studio and this is what we got. I hope everyone enjoyed making the prequels the but of every joke for the last 20 years.

That's nothing.
She tanked Force lightning that can destroy a fleet of thousands of capital ships. From demonstrated ability she's more powerful than Yoda, which is pretty absurd.
Do we even know how old Yoda is there? His species can live for several hundred centuries, according to the Mandalorian, it's fifty years of infancy at least. That's a lot of time to play around with raw Force powers. Not even remotely comparable.

Force heal this!
It really is a shitty plot point to ''force heal''

I wonder why Vader didn't use Force heal to heal himself when Obi-Wan left him to die?
The movie just kept on pulling things out of its arse. Sure, we can give some leeway for that, but this was going far beyond.

Another one, there's a bit of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise in Kylo...

Disney don't understand the force.
For every good new... you know there's really only one sorry (force bond between Kylo and Rey), they have destroyed all of it's nuance with the rest and just turned it in to magic.
If Lucas r*ped people with midichlorians, Disney has taken down to Joseph Fritzl's basement for 20 years with everything they have done.

You are assuming that gravity is the same strength on each planet?

Why is it absurd that she may be more powerful than Yoda?
Pretty self explanatory why she could be and why she seemed more advanced than luke.

It's giving up a portion of the Force that naturally flows inside you to save someone else.
Does that sound like a dark side power to you?
You can't Force heal yourself for that reason. It's about restoring a deficit of energy. All the Force cares about is that the universe remains balanced.

no brother, I’m 42 years strong in the universe and loved it, even in my second viewing.

And yet, Obi-Wan was helpless when Qui-Gon died in his arms. What, he simply didn't know he could do that? Or did he secretly want the troubling old fella gone?
Just got back from my 2nd viewing
Fck it I love this movie the film critics have no friggin idea what they are talking about its obvious they're not Star Wars fans

Uh, since ANH?
Although Rose Tico didn't have as much screen time her character was better used in ROS. she actually had a purpose unlike TLJ where she was just used to hold Finn's hand and tell him I love you.

What was her purpose in TROS?
All logic goes out the window in Star Wars
Interesting take but there's another reason this trilogy might be the blessing in disguise for the future of Star Wars. We know now that they're listening to the fans; we know they're sensitive to feedback and backlash. They knew how polarising TLJ was and they tried to salvage it. I think they made a pretty good fist of it, but out of all the mistakes they made, killing Luke in 8 and not giving Leia an epic send-off and funeral in 8 were the biggest two ones they couldn't fix.
There was no going back after that, but there's always a way forward. They would undoubtedly know that despite how divided fans are, 99% of us all agree that this new trilogy needed to be planned thoroughly from the start because it wasn't. The light at the end of the tunnel is that if they ever decide to make a new trilogy, surely it'll have more planning ahead than this one did. In other words, whatever we get should be better than their "phase 1" has been... in theory.
