Is Rey Anakin incarnate?

There's this theory going around on IMDb that Rey is Anakin reincarnated. To me it just seems like a way to excuse how much of a Mary Sue she is, but here's some evidence I'm directly copy/pasting since I didn't see the movie myself nor do I plan to:
>All the Star Wars movies are supposed to be about Anakin Skywalker being the chosen one who would bring balance to the force.
>Continues Jesus theme of virgin birth to second coming.
>Anakin's light saber called to Rey.
>No one develops the force that quickly unless they are the most powerful force user reincarnated. Luke didn't develop this fast and he's Anakin's son.
>Both mechanically inclined.
>Both great pilots.
>Kylo Ren shows interest in her because he worships Vader (was kneeling before her in the torture chamber).
What do you think? I personally doubt this was planned out ahead of time. If this turns out to be the case it would mean Disney retconned in to make episode VII look better and continue the trilogy in a less predictable way.
But on a /pol/ note I doubt they'd want to explain away "girl power" with her being possessed by a straight, white guy. It would mess with the feminism. Although on the other hand maybe the sequels won't be as SJW.
