I think what ultimately led me to not love the sequel trilogy so far is how unrealistic Rey’s character is. I agree that Luke didn’t get much training, but what the hell is this? The girl was pulling off mind tricks out of nowhere, she has mastered several force abilities that took years for Luke to master, and she has only had 3 lessons from Luke and that’s it. Rey wasn’t even bested by anyone yet (and I don’t think she will), and we’re two movies in. She was fooled by Snoke/Kylo, yes, but this film didn’t feel like her low point, and it probably was. I can see that she was challenged, but she didn’t lose. The rest of the good guys did, but she didn’t. Ughh
If someone disagrees and is able to give me logical reasons for all of this, please do.
To turn Han’s line on it’s head, maybe because that’s the way the force works?
Maybe the force is different in this girl than in the the boy we saw in the OT.
Or maybe Ren was lying and her parents weren’t nobodies. Although I kind of hope he was telling the truth. I don’t mind all the various family ties in the OT but it would still be refreshing for Rey to not be related to anyone in the story.
