While watching TFA, I was wondering how comes Rey can pilot ships.
As I understand it, there’s a “now canonical” short storybook called “Before the Awakening” or something along that line that “explains” this.
Turns out Rey found a flight simulator in the Star Destroyer while scavenging. She was bored with nothing to do, so she started practicing on the flight simulator, which, um, taught her how to fly the Millenium Falcon.
Sure. Because Imperials would certainly have a flight simulator for Han Solo’s YT-1300.
