I'll also add that from a writing perspective, it's quite a bit more preposterous to have a character strapped in a chair in a military facility, have her need to 1v1 a trained Sith, and then jedi mind trick an individual flawlessly on her first attempt, than it is to hand wave away a mild film contrivance like Anakin winning a pod race because he has some natural "luck" that comes with being a force user.

We don't know how strong Rey's connection to the Force is. She could have Yoda level Force powers that are still developing. Not every Force user has the same connection to the Force, some are stronger than others. I agree that it's a bit far fetched that she was able to resist Kylo's mind probe, but she may have far stronger a connection to the Force than Kylo. We don't know her backstory, and it's possible she had prior Jedi training that we don't know about. She could have been mind wiped like Revan in the Old Republic (Although unlikely since she was on Jakku from a young age).

One of the theories going around that I kind of like is that Luke really was The Last Jedi, and now Rey will *become* a 'skywalker,' aka someone who travels across the galaxy (walks the skies) to use/teach the Force in a balanced manner, rather than in the white-and-black of Jedi-vs-Sith.
I like it because: 1. This is still the Skywalker saga, and Luke has a part to finish playing 2. Rey is a 'skywalker' in the proper sense, answering the shortcomings of the true Skywalkers 3. It backs up the idea that in the entire universe, the battle for balancing the Force shouldn't keep coming back to the same elite but flawed bloodline... a relative nobody can rise and generate balance in ways that the old masters/apprentices could not |
