I don't have a problem with Rey being the main character or that a woman can be an all powerful Jedi.  Don't get it twisted.  What I do have a problem with is that she learns how to do a force push, move objects using the force and weild a lightsaber to the extent that she can beat down the man that destroyed Luke Skywalker's temple and forced him to flee without any training. Also, she knows more than Han Solo does about the Millennium Falcon...  Rey could have been great if she learned how to do these things over the course of three movies through trials and tribulations, but that would take actual character development and storytelling.  The fast food culture that wants everything NOW gets what they want.   She touches a lightsaber and already is all powerful and perfect.  I can't wait until she beats down Luke on Dagobah or wherever they are during training.  Why does she even need training?  She already made the villain look like a bitch until that earthquake split the ground in between them.  What a lucky thing to happen for Kylo...  

 



 

I...don't think you understand what was going on during the movie.

 

Rey knows the Falcon really well because it was in her village for a long time and she is quite a handy mechanic. She probably worked on the ship.

They also establish early on that she can fight which is going to help her agility and reflexes no matter what weapon she is using.

She also spends the majority of her fight getting her ass kicked by a grievously wounded Kylo Ren who's own force powers are weakened by him being torn between the dark and the light.

It sounds like you were so busy picking the movie apart that you forgot to actually watch the movie.

In addition to that it is also established in the movie that the force can be used to extract information out of peoples mind. Rey did it before when Kylo was trying to read her. In the last scene he even tells her that he could teach her, reminding her that he has all the knowlegethat she needs to beat him.

She may just have reached out and extracted it from him, possibly even tapping into the dark side, judging from her expression and behavior.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
