Great story telling guys.
After TFA I had such high hopes for an awesome story arc. The flaws of the movies has been discussed ad nauseum, but one thing seemingly no one talks about is how infallible Rey became. So much promise for a great story surrounding here in TFA, then it falls apart. For God's sake, even Luke needed training and help every step of the way during his journey, meanwhile Rey just decides to become a Jedi like it ain't no thang. Where's the journey? Where are the setbacks and redemption? I suppose her character development is intertwined with the plot which was ####ty, but still.

That was directed by Kennedy who wanted a super powerful female hero that could sell lunch boxes.
I mean yeah, she's related to Palpatine, probably the most powerful Sith in history and probably one of the most powerful Force Users anywhere, but I doubt he just was born evil and was flinging furniture around when he was 6. (The book Plagueis lays that out, but its legends sadly).
That's why I went with the clone of Anakin or Palpatine theory. And that whole Rey snapping her fingers in the mirror scene in TLJ made a ton of sense to me at the time. Now it just turns out I guess, that it looked cool but had no meaning.
I didn't see the mannerisms of Kenobi in her, I must have missed it, the only thing that was similar was that she was english, to me. I thought she had a lot of similar mannerisms to Anakin, and fought like a hybrid of Anakin and Sidious. If you look at her first fight with Ren, they lifted a lot of fight choreography from the Anakin fight against Dooku, and also Sidious versus Mace.
