Are you seriously correcting MY GRAMMAR?

Sorry.  Sometimes, when I see an example of bad writing, I just can't let it go and move on with my life, until I make sure everyone knows how I feel.

 

No hard feelings, Chief.

A Insult, vs Grammer. I didn't move on because I was insulted. Your correcting you're vs your come on. I never attacked you.

Rey undergoes NO TRAINING WHATS SO EVER! She is lifting Thing hundreds of time the mass of a X-Wing which the CHOSEN ONES SON COULDNT DO FOR TWO WHOLE MOVIES!

Or Rey is normal, just others are weaklings.

They were playing in a sandbox until auntie Rey came, slapped them, and showed them how to do things right.

You're.  We covered this already.

 

If you're going to complain about others' writing, cover your own posterior first.

Maybe there was no need in training. Just others were too weak or untalented to do the force themselves

Again that destroys all LORE if that's the case you have just proven my point. Having a super Jedi right now in Galactic History bugs me. 

 

Futhur given the current Political Climate in the real world it bugs me that they would promote their political agenda. 

 

Its a two strike really three.

1. Propoganda

2. Mary Sue Charachter or if you think that's sexist a Gary Stu

3. Having a Super Jedi at this convenient time In Galactic History. 

4. Destroying all that we know about Jedi and Sith with Raw POWER

5. RAW POWAAA in General.

I didn't complain about grammar I complained about a Strawman Fallacy which is used to make a false statement to make your debate opponent easier to attack.

We all do it but I try not do.

You just did it by saying I complained about his writing when in fact I did not.

I didn't say anything about his writing.  This thread is about 90% you complaining about how the writers of TLJ carried out their jobs.

 

But carry on.  I think I still see a little bit of recognizable hoof over there.

I'm referring to the Insult.

We are having a miscommunication.

 

Now yes 90% is me complaining about their STORY not their grammar.

Have you considered that Acht-To is a wellspring of the force? It is literally where the Jedi order began, and the chosen one’s son living there for a decade or so will have increased that even more.

The other times she mind-tricked a stormtrooper, lifted a lightsaber, which weighs effectively nothing, snapped the lightsaber, and lifted the rocks. The rocks were probably the hardest, but she had lots of light side emotions for who was behind the rocks, so that would have empowered her.

What? I'm not following you... 

It's Kerbiloid. Sometimes you don't so much follow him as experience him. He's the Kosh Naranek of the KSP forums. :)

You actually jogged my memory. I remembered an interview that Abrams gave before TFA came out where he was discussing some of his ideas for the new trilogy, I wish I could find it now. One of his concepts (which I am liberally paraphrasing here) was that during the days of the Republic you had thousands of Jedi running around the galaxy doing all sorts of Force-y things all the time and that this had weakened/stressed/whipped-into-a-froth/mixed-until-it-had-become-too-tough/insert-your-own-cooking-analogy-here the Force so that over thousands of years it had gradually become less powerful and more difficult to use. Then all the Jedi got wiped out and the only Force users left were Palpatine, Vader, Obi-Wan, and Yoda, and they were all much less active. So the Force started to heal/spring-back/buff-up/whatever. And now, at the point of TFA, it's been about sixty years since that process started, and the Force is New and Improved! Which is, IIRC, the whole reason he called the first movie, "The Force Awakens". And that's why people can do crazy stuff with the Force now and why J.J.'s stunts and special effects are way cooler than George's.

I'm not saying that any of this makes sense or provides a satisfying narrative. I'm just saying that if you backed Abrams into a corner in Starbucks that's probably how he would explain it all. Before he called the police and took out a restraining order.

But is he afraid of needles?

This sounds like a Force conservation law.
Like a proverb says, "the fewer people — the more oxygen".

While the jedi population was growing, the Force was divided in small portions.
When Rey stays alone, she gathered all the Force at once and doesn't need the training. She just flies up like a cork from a bottle with champagne.
Not because of her own, but because she is the way of least resistance.

P.S.
There is of course, another possibility. Rey is The observer of SW universe. Things take place as she resolves the indeterminancies..

P.P.S.
... but unlikely. That triple ponytail on the head... I can't imagine a universe with such demiurg.
