Rogue One vs. The Force Awakens — The Fault in Our Star Wars

Can we please, PLEASE just wait for the fucking other two movies to come out before drawing a bunch of conclusions about Rey's character? She obviously has a very mysterious past. You think they won't explain her powerful connection to the Force? Patience.

Never flown the Millenium Falcon? She gets in and is an expert pilot.

She's flown before. Never off planet. Running cargo on Jakku and the like. I believe she explicitly says something to that effect.

Crack shot

Mmm, no, she kills a few stormtroopers and explicitly misses a few times, and has trouble with the safety. Not to mention her panic with the lightsaber vision caused her to run away and be captured.

In fact, there was a post on /r/starwars saying that Finn had a 100% accuracy rate so far. Padme, suprisingly, came in second.

You're just "watching her do stuff." Every "man" in the movie is nothing but a buffoon and getting in her way, and Rey has to show them how it's done.

How the hell did you come to that conclusion? The two males she journeys with, Finn and Han, are extremely capable. She helps them out at points, but never guides them in the way you describe. Oh and Chewie.

Her skills as a pilot and a scavenger are no worse than child Anakin building Threepio from scratch and being an expert podracer, and blowing up an entire battlecruiser at like 9 years old. Latent Force sensitivity makes them a cut above the rest. The only thing that is egregious about Rey is her ability with the Force. But since its explicitly referred to as an "awakening" in her, as if it had gone to sleep for a while, its obvious there's more to the story.

I'm not one to bash others' opinions, but some of what you say is just egregious. You have a major chip on your shoulder.
