The novel, which is canon except for any scenes that directly contradict a scene in the movie, states that Kylo Ren got weakened when he killed Han. It was supposed to make him stronger but it actually weakened his Force powers, It also distracted him because the good that was in him was absolutely horrified by what he had just done. It also states this is how Chewie got the hit in on him, he was too distracted by what he had just done to notice that Chewie was about to blow a hole in his side, which he did. And his training is not complete.

I think it's because she has had some degree of training before. Remember that Jedi start very young. Anyway the script apparently states that when Luke sees her "he has no need to ask who she is". Also the novel heavily implies that Kylo Ren knows who she is.

I feel like they're going to Revan her and a lot of her "stumbling" into Force powers are actually just muscle memory or whatever you call it with The Force.

They're both the same basic concept of hitting someone with a fucking stick. Stop being such a fucking moron. I'm so tired of the "she wouldn't know how to fight with a lightsaber" faggotry when the movie actually spells out for the viewer that she's good at fighting with weapons like that.

>On one of her scavenging trips, Rey came across an old flight simulator. She took the simulator back to the AT-AT she lived in and used it to learn how to pilot as a source of entertainment.[6] Rey kept an old Rebel flight helmet she found during one of her first scavengings at the Graveyard. The helmet belonged to Captain Dosmit Ræh of the Tierfon Yellow Aces. Rey would make up stories about who Ræh was and what planet she might have come from. She also made a doll out of a flight uniform she found in a cargo container. She would put on the helmet and explore the AT-AT walker and the outdoors with the doll and she would find lost rebels and get them back to their ships.[7]

She beat him because she's got the big super power. It's a kids movie, for children, so it didn't bother me that much. The story has always been nonsense.

She'd have no problem figuring out how to use it. Plus she's very powerful in the force. It's the force. I actually don't have to explain shit. If you can't take the "being stronger in the force just makes you more of a badass all around" explanation then this series isn't for even for you.

The force isn't measurable. You can't realistically tell anyone what it can and can't do

alright niggers

let's ignore the specifics of Rey's feats and focus instead on how her character is presented:

She is instantly competent at anything she tries
She rarely meets with failure, and when she does she faces zero consequences
Every non-villain character likes and trusts her immediately upon meeting her. I know I said we should ignore specific actions, but in this case it's to the point where Leia hugs Rey, a random girl she met maybe a day ago, after Han's death, instead of Chewie, her husband's best friend and someone she's known for decades
>>
>>322716708
So how does that work in terms of combat systems?
>>
>>322721467
>Every non-villain character likes and trusts her immediately upon meeting her.

I could've sworn that BB8 wasn't too trusting of her, Finn fucking ran from her after she started bolting after him, and Han was pissed they were even in his ship to begin with.
>>
>>322721467
the thing with a Mary Sue is that it actually isn't all that bad when you're still such a likable character

Obi-wan confuses him by gaining temporary high ground, the greatest weakness of the Sith. In no Sith teachings or holocrons is there any such lesson that teaches how to just swing up at the guy. So when Obi-wan jumped and gained the momentary high ground, Maul was completely defenseless

yeah he had help and Rey IS more of a Mary Sue than him but he still does a metric asston of ridiculous hero shit for a farm boy that just left the desert for the first time in his life.

Luke, even in his whiny and immature New Hope phase was still more of a nonsensical hero than most protagonists could ever be throughout several movies
>>
>>322725138
but he still had character flaws and people were able to dislike him and he didn't do any of his ridiculous hero shit by himself, unlike Rey

About every form of life recovery that the enemy doesn't have. It doesn't matter if it's regenerating health, medkits, or wall turkeys, it's mary sue bullshit when you win because the enemy AI was intentionally designed to not have access to the same abilities.

Speaking of which, what games let common mooks heal themselves? Dark Souls comes to mind.
