My point is that those saying a Jedi’s powers come from achieving a certain state of mind (with which I agree) have to accept that Rey has achieved at least enough “zen” to become as powerful as any Jedi to come before her, all in about a week.
Probably doesn’t matter to the overall point but do we actually have something in the movie that indicates it’s been such a short period of time?
Kinda, yeah.
There’s the timeline of TFA, which takes two, maybe three days.
Then the First Order, which knows the location of the Resistance base from TFA, goes to the base in force. Since both parties know that their locations have been discovered, they are both under enormous time pressure to act, which means that if it took more than a day or two after the end of TFA for the Resistance base to be evacuated, then there’s something criminally wrong with that outfit.
Then we know from the ticking clock plot of TLJ that time is of the essence. We know that several days go by on the island while Rey is arguing with Luke, but at this time the Resistance is either evacuating the base or being pursued, and the intercutting of Kylo and Rey with their Forcetime sessions establishes that there is close synchronicity between the timelines. We know that there is only enough fuel for the Resistance to make one more hyperspace jump, so they’re already low on fuel when Rey meets Luke. Halfway through Rey’s screentime on the island, it’s established that the fleet has less than a day of fuel left.
The only question is how long the Resistance was being chased between Ackbar getting killed and Finn/Rose leaving Canto Bight. I highly doubt that with their time constraints they would have formulated and enacted the plan in less than a day, and the jail in Canto Bight only holds Finn and Rose until they notice another person in the room.
So yes, about a week all told.
