I personally never thought Luke used the Force in Episode IV and never thought Anakin used the Force in Episode I. I think I might be the only one to think this way on this site.
So because of this, I think Rey being as powerful as she was in TFA was absurd. And it continues through TLJ.
TFA:
- mind trick out of her ***
- beating Kylo Ren’s force pull
- beating Kylo Ren period.
TLJ:
- it bothered me a little bit how she was so instantly connected to the force in the scene where Luke explains it to her, but at the same time I think it’s not a valid complaint.
- she beats Luke
- she kicks everyone’s *** in the throne room for no reason
- she can lift 10x more rocks than Luke even after Luke had several training sessions and Luke had an extremely high potential to be powerful with the force too.
Aye, she really kicked Snoke’s arse in the throne room alright. She was that powerful if it wasn’t for the greed and lust for power of Ren that she’d be dead.
