Plenty of superheroes get magic powers and suddenly have the ability to do incredible things
I’m a huge fan of Rey/Daisy, but Star Wars is not a super hero movie. This isn’t Batman or Superman. I thought she was by far the most compelling character in TFA, loved most of the scenes with her, but it’s a valid criticism that she was too much of a Mary Sue. Her force powers were not paced and developed properly. Being able to talk to BB-8 and Chewie was stupid.
I feel they should have limited her general badass skills to combat, technical skills, and piloting. The combat ability, even for a woman, needs no explanation. Her technical prowess was sufficiently conveyed, in my opinion, for her to eventually do the technical things she did in the film. However, I do think her ability to pilot the Falcon needed more explanation.
