Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Hey, that's okay. I am...totally not that way though, I'm already stupidly fond of both Rey and Finn and could watch a dozen films with them.
Kylo Ren has trained for years, she just sort of figured out she might have powers...and she can fight him off?
Well, he was injured by that point and he was bleeding during the battle (Finn got him with Luke's lightsaber, and Chewie shot him with his bowcaster, so frankly it was amazing that he was standing at all) so I don't think we're supposed to believe that Rey is suddenly the most amazing Jedi ever, because Ren wasn't at his best. (No matter how strong, that kind of damage would wear you down.) And I've heard a theory that maybe the reason that Rey seems to change her form so much there at the end is that she's actually already had force training but doesn't remember it. (Mind-wipe, whatever.) Not sure how true that is, but I do think it's a neat theory!
If not, eh, maybe she just has an immense amount of power and potential, even untapped. Might be harder to roll with, but that fight scene was incredible so I'm alright with it.
But I doubt it can teach you how to fly if you've never done it before.
Did she actually say she hadn't? I don't remember that. I assumed she did; she certainly knows a lot about ships and is comfortable with them, as well as says, "We've got one" (a pilot).
It was a pretty film though, no doubt about that.
but borrowed heavily from A New Hope
It was very reminiscent to A New Hope, but I didn't mind because other parts felt fresh.

(Anonymous) 2015-12-20 03:48 am (UTC)(link)He was injured, so I could buy that bit. But the mental stuff and telekinesis...Luke had trouble lifting up a rock a few inches. He needed years of training with Yoda before he could do the mind trick. I had heard that theory about her being mindwiped and maybe already having had training. I'd like that, it would make sense.

Oh, no, I didn't make myself clear there. It was more of a comparison. I was comparing using a lightsaber to flying. The Force can help you with it, (and it's hinted that it does when she's flying) but like you said: she already knew how to fly. IMO the same goes for lightsabers. The Force can help you, but it can't teach you how to duel. So there could be something to the theory she already knew how.
Anyway, this was the only real thing that bugged me, and we could still get an explanation for it, so it's not that bad. And I do like the characters and want to get to know them better.
Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
It was a bit rushed, but given her desperation in that scene I think having an incentive to defeat Kylo helped too.
