I’d rather not repeat arguments I’ve had here ad naseum, but I’ll say there’s only one egregious use of abilities from Rey, and that’s the mind trick. Using the force in the duel is easily explained. Maz’s words were specifically that the force has always been there in her and if she closes her eyes she can feel it.

But then again you called Maz “orange Yoda” so I don’t know why I’m bothering.

I mean, they make a point to one up Yoda by saying she’s not 900 years old, no, she’s 1000 years old.
And she’s a little knee high thing, and she’s wise.

Oh sorry, didn’t realize that made them the exact same character. By that logic, at least 50% of all SW characters are rehashes of each other.

What is a joke?
Obviously she is not literally "Yoda, but orange."
BUT, she is used as a plot device for the for a similar purpose. She tells Rey about the force. And as I said, she’s about as old as Yoda, she is also dimunitive, and she is also wise.

Again, I don’t know why I bothered. Joke or not, you’re still making a lame and really strained comparison. Just to poke one whole in, how is Yoda not “Obi-Wan, but small and green”?
