So to me I suppose it doesn't seem out of place at all because to me it doesn't sound particularly skillful.
It doesn't sound skillfull untill you realise she had to line up the falcon's cannons with the chasing tie-fighter.
She doesn't know in what position the cannons are stuck, she doesn't know the exact location of the tie-fighter and yet she manages to give Finn a clear shot.
It looked cool, sure, but think about it.
I'd put that down to it being a film tbh.
Though to be honest, if I really wanted to argue the point I could go on about the force's influence in making occur what otherwise would be dismissed as "coincidence" or "luck".
But then the force is basically this sci-faantasy's plot device.
Well Finn, if the TLA trailer is anything to go by, almost did die I reckon. He was obviously down for the count. He probably would've ended up killing him proper if Rey hadn't intervened.
I don't think he actually wanted to kill Rey. I'm pretty sure that Snoke told him to bring her to him, I presume he meant alive. Also in the saber lock he does say "I can teach you" or something like that, so maybe he wanted to turn her.
True. But it makes you wonder when the darksiders are finally going to learn that, no, it isn't a good idea to turn that pesky hero.
Palpatine tried that. He died. Vader tried it. He died.
Kylo tried it. He hasn't died yet, but will probably redeem himself by stopping Snoke and dying.
Yeah, villains have been failing to insta-kill the good guys for years now. Evil villan explains his evil plot is a trope for a reason. It would probably make sense, and I imagine there's a place for actual competent villans in media somewhere, but if you want the little Good Guys Who Could to defeat the Big Bad Powerful Bad Guys you've got to throw a little incompetence in there just so the protagonists don't get curb stomped in 5 minutes.
I dunno, Luke catches onto using the Force to sense the training droids shots without seeing in just one session. It's hard to compare because we never see Luke even attempt to conciously do much if anything with the force in the first movie beyond that training scene, which he gets pretty quick, and the trench run, which again, he manages to do well with. Though arguably it was the session with the training droid that taught him how to do that.
Anakin is a pretty hard comparison because we skip from him being a little kid to a well trained Jedi.
The thing is that Luke has Obi-Wan as help (alive and as "ghost").
Rey doesn't seem to have had any training and doesn't have a mentor.
I'd argue she did have a mentor, in a sense. Kylo Ren. He didn't tell her how to use the force, like Obi-Wan did for Luke, but he did show her when he interrogated her.
I think she wanted to.
You could practically smell his dishonestness.
She really did ignore the painfully obvious.
People will overlook all sorts of untruths if it fits what they want to believe. The past couple of years should be evidence enough of that.
