Now with my assumption that she's Luke's daughter and he presumably had the connection with her, then it makes sense that it triggered something. But I don't like how there was no learning experience or realization moment. It just went from 'the force is real' to 'I can use this pretty well' without any step in between.


But yeah, a solid Star Wars movie and a solid movie in general. JJ did good.
I'm actually quite okay with her kinda knowing how to use the Force. I'm in no way a big Star Wars fan, but I know that the force lets you use Jedi mind tricks and be badass with a light saber. We've known this for 30+ years. SW universe residents have known this longer. Proof being that Rey is what... maybe 20 years old? And she's heard the adventures of Luke, Leia and Han.

If I ever came to the sudden realization that I had the force, hell yeah I'd be trying to use it to mess with people's minds
