After Rey’s childhood, there’s nothing zen about her. I can’t buy the notion that a week’s worth of stress focused her mind and turned the coal into a diamond. Show me a monk who achieves enlightenment in a week.

I don’t disagree. But I also don’t see what you mean, the finale of ROTJ is nothing like what happened so far in the ST outside Luke’s story.

Whether you define the scope of what it means to be a Jedi as flipping around and floating rocks or a spiritual, zen-like state of mind, neither should be possible to the extent Rey is capable within a few days.

I guess I just don’t mind it that much. It’s more believable that she figured all these things out after contact with Kylo that it is Anakin can flight a Naboo starfighter.
