Im not even 1 bit excited neither for rogue One nor for the Han Solo movie. I feel like its rather pointless to tell me how the Rebels got the Death Star plans, I dont realy care tbh. None of the characters in that movie will realy matter, they are all already dead or faded into oblivion and I feel like this wil lack a lot of Star Warness in it and will play more like a war movie.
The han Solo movie I believe will be even more pointless story, how does knowing what Han Solo used to do when he was young helps moving the lore and/or the universe foward.

So basically she is just like Anakin and Luke. 9 year old Anakin hops in a Naboo Fighter for his first time and takes out the Droid Control Station. Luke hops in an X-Wing with no experience and shoots an unguided shot into a small exhaust port at high speed with his eyes closed. The lead characters in Star Wars are always Mary Sues.

Shes less impossible than they are actualy cause she actualy had training, the Force is enhancing her already honed skills, Luke had 0 experience flying an X-wing and Anakin was 9, Rey was already a pilot. The 1 problem (and what I think sent most ppl who complain over the edge) is the Mind Trick. They need to explain that one better, I believe that she has had previous jedi training or at least have contact with jedi lore before so she knew that could work. If she just randonly tried a mind trick without knowing it was possible to mind controll ppl beforehand is a bit forced.

@ bolded
It was quite clear that the Jedi had mythical stories being told about them from the past. It's not totally unexpected that Rey would attempt the mind trick after hearing it in passing and coming to the realisation she may have some ability with the Force after the Lightsaber incident.
I also think she had Jedi training when she was younger but left on Jakku to keep her in hiding. My suspicion is she is the last survivor of Luke's Jedi training group but that she was too young to consciously recall being trained in some of the basics.
OT:
Finally saw it yesterday. Personally I think pople are being too harsh on the film. I thought it did a perfectly good job of giving a nod to the originals whilst introducing a new cast and effectively passing the torch. It was a great way of leading up to the next two films. A lot of the complaints I've read on this suggest you should never have liked Star Wars in the first place as the same complaints can be levelled at any of the films.
It was handled a lot better than the prequels which each had a number of rediculously cringy moments.
