I think it would have been a better idea to have Rey find the saber whilst scavenging junk, rather than the Maz scene which was purely a device to bring a saber into the narrative, Maz giving Rey the magical gift (transference).
Agree that would be better, but still too convenient. Even better would be that Rey finds a lightsaber while scavenging. Not Luke’s.
Yes that’s what I meant, not Luke’s it’s too far fetched and as I said above irrelevant because Luke has a new shiny one in Jedi. In fact I don’t think there should have been a light saber in her hands at all, it could have been another anh rip off for part 2 where Luke could have given her his after training her how to use the force/light saber …oh wait that’s already been done, lets just make her able to do all that from the off.
