I’m not annoyed by Rey being competent at lightsabers, I am annoyed by her being able to fly the Falcon. Is there an explanation for this?
Not my knowledge- Rey says it is her first time.
I suppose she learned the skill with speeders on Jakku? That’s probably where she learned to be fluent in Droid and Wookiee too.
I guess so. But speeders and freighters are way different. This same problem is in ANH, but it can kind of be explained by Luke piloting speeders with a similar cockpit configuration to an X-Wing. I guess the whole thing can be chalked up to “the force wills it”.
EDIT:
She says something to the effect of “I’ve flown some ships but never left the planet,” so maybe not the Falcon specifically, but she has flown before, and is familiar enough with the Falcon to know about its various upgrades.
Ok, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
