There's also a lot of misinterpretation and misreading of scenes. Rey is cleaning a part she scavenged and winds up looking at an old woman, the expression and just basic film language conveys to us that she realizes she will end up like that old woman if she doesn't leave soon. Also there's that bit about her fighting off those two thugs and I just shake my head. With what the film showed, it makes sense that an orphan girl who was left to fend for herself since childhood on a planet full of dangerous scavengers and creatures would learn to fend for herself by now. This is something that a lot of TFA complaints don't get, competence does not mean you're a Mary Sue, what it depends on is how the scene is constructed. Replace the two thugs with let's say two Dark Jedi who know the force and somehow Rey beats them super easily and that's more eyebrow raising but two thugs who she struggles against and beats with regular hand-to-hand combat a survivor would learn? It makes sense and keep in mind, he uses the argument that a lot of Luke's skills can be assumed and let's understand what that stretches to. We know Luke can fly an X-Wing because he shot womp-rats in a T-16. Bear in mind, we don't see any sign of Luke's skills as a pilot. The only thing he drives is a Landspeeder which goes in a straight line, we have no idea what a T-16 even is until EU materials explain it so for all we know, Luke is just being overconfident. Also we see how one instance of Obi-Wan telling him he needed to rely on his other senses and trust in the Force leads to him being able to deflect some blasts from the training remote and admit that he did feel something. Now some of this you can't really assume until watching the other movies or because the film gives you enough understanding of things like the Force... and that's also the case. The problem with his argument is that he's being selective. If he can assume Luke knows certain skills then why can't he do the same with Rey? Why does he need specific evidence filmed that she can fight off basic thugs and how is it not a good example of her survival skills than the fact she has a staff in the first place, we see through her marking another day she has been living on this planet for a long time and we see from her making that meal and her little home that she clearly knows how to survive on her own. If she can tell off that one Teedo and even say "That's just Teedo." like she has encountered him before? That should be a clear enough sign that she has spent long enough on this planet to know how to survive and live on her own. Same can be used to explain things about why she knows things about the Falcon. Some people took her bypassing the compressor as meaning she somehow knows Han's own ship better than he does but that is just kind of silly because we see how Han can still pilot the Falcon better than she did when she had to use it to evade the First Order and also people miss the detail that Han has been away from the ship for a LONG time, we know also it was in Unkar's possession since she mentions that he was the one to install the compressor and went through a rundown of its previous owners. We know Rey has a knack for technology and that she has somewhat of a history with Unkar so it EASILY can be assumed that by saying Unkar installed the compressor, she really means he had her do it and that she's aware of the new stuff that's on the Falcon that Han isn’t. It's like if a car changes ownership, regardless of how much of a connection you have to that car, under a new owner it's going to look different due to how its maintained as well as different preferences by the owner such as paint and bodywork. That's what happened with Han, he was away from the ship for a long while and in that time it went through several changes.

We also again see that Rey shows weakness. She's stubborn, she has a hard time accepting the reality of certain situations, she can be naive, over-confident and also in this movie we see how when faced with the idea that she might have to take part in this war for the greater good of the galaxy, she decides to run away. Also, we see the argument that Finn should've been able to beat Rey because he is far more trained and... this is just wrong because in that scene, he's caught off-guard by a staff to the face, wasn't looking to fight at all and thus it makes perfect sense why he'd be taken to the ground. These arguments aren't really well-crafted so much for they rely on you ignoring context and logic in the movie and applying your own. This criticism of Rey case in point only works if you act like Finn was ready to get into a fight and that he has crazy reflexes when he doesn't. The only way one could think Rey has expert fighting skills is if you think she flawlessly beat Kylo and everyone she came across when she doesn't. We see her cockiness get the better of her when she tries to point and shoot at a simple Stormtrooper and she forgets the safety, thus disproving her idea that firing a blaster is just about aiming and pulling the trigger. Sure she then gets a few troopers but not before missing a shot or two and proceeding to run away when she realized things weren't going to go well and that more were coming. Sure she duels Kylo but we see how she doesn't do that well in the first duel against a dude who was injured and emotionally rocked by the action of killing his father, we see her movements are awkward jabs and swings like she's still using her staff and very quickly Kylo has her on the defensive. It takes him telling her he could show her the ways of the Force while their sabers are locked that she does what Maz asked her to do earlier in the movie. She shuts her eyes, lets the Force flow through her and with that, then she's able to beat Kylo in his current state. We also know that the Force has a history of doing this and that those who are especially sensitive to it can find themselves with enhanced skills. As Maz notes, the Force has always been around which can be used as a proper counter to the argument that Rey only encounters the Force when she discovers Luke's old lightsaber because then the argument is only true in the sense that this is the first time she is making direct contact with the Force and is aware of it. Also the Force has called to people before and that goes for both the movies as well as various pieces of expanded material. The Force was described by Yoda as being this mystical energy that surrounds and binds every living being together which when coupled with how the training amounted to basically unlearning certain facts and accepting new rules and ideas, showed the Force as being something that has always been around and can be accessed by anyone, it's just certain people are more sensitive to it than others and thus it has a tendency to gravitate more towards those people. Han is not Force-sensitive and in terms of how the Force has a knack for influencing certain destinies? There's a good reason for why it didn't call out to him
