I would probably love this film if Kyle Katarn was in it. As it is, I’m not interested and have no plans to see it. Two Star Wars movies with a female lead…, it’s all just feminist BS.
You’re absolutely right, Star Wars is for men!!! I’ll take a universe full of spacefaring humanoid aliens that usually speak English, basically use magic, build giant planet-destroying superweapons, and fight with laserswords, but if those aliens are women then that’s totally implausible feminist nonsense!

Well, we already had Rey, who could outfight Kylo Ren, though she never picked up a lightsaber before.
She had used her staff, though. And maybe Kylo Ren is absolute rubbish at using a lightsaber, we have no reason to think he was good.
Right, she used her staff… beating sand and stuff. The guy was clearly involved in real battles and was proficient with the force on top of that.
She lived in a wasteland, I have no doubt that people got violent and fought each other for food.
Again, we’ve got no idea if Kylo was skilled. Check out this video by our own resident Aalenfae.
She could also fly the Millennium Falcon without any training as a spaceship pilot.
Untrue. As CHEWBAKA said, she did use flight simulations. I don’t know if it was mentioned in the movie, but it was definitely mentioned in Before the Awakening.
The film clearly established that she was basically struggling for food. I don’t see how could she get an access to flight simulators. And there is no reason what so ever that there would even be flight simulators in that dump of a settlement.
Salvaged it off of one of the hundreds of ruined ships that litter Jakku. That said, I don’t know why she didn’t sell it.
A flight simulator might be difficult to remove from a wrecked Imperial ship, but might be intact enough to work. We don’t see Rey scrounging anything bigger than one person can carry.
