The funny thing is that if we were to apply Episode VII logic to the original trilogy, then Leia, as a direct descendant of Anakin Skywalker, should have been AT LEAST as in tune with the Force as her brother was since they are the exact same age. Yet she exhibited hardly any ability with the Force throughout the entire trilogy 1) other than to be able to sense that her brother is either in danger (end of Empire) or is OK (end of Jedi).
2) Apparently nobody explained to Han that in Rey's case, why yes, that's EXACTLY how the Force works... as a tool to quickly get our characters out of tricky situations and advance the plot when necessary.

1) Or maybe it was Luke that used his power to call on her? I must admit I always felt like Leia was sensitive to the Force, I even considered the possibility she would be a Jedi in TFA, but maybe Luke called on to her using his power?
I want to believe that Luke somehow activated (lmao) Rey's powers from afar, like next-level Force power from when he called on to Leia.
2) To be fair with Han, he never witnessed Rey doing Force-stuff to have a chance to tell her: "You aren't supposed to do any of that!" :P

I still think JJ & Co rushed Rey's character arc in the film out of both timing / convenience, and of fan service with the repeated callbacks to episodes IV-VI.
2) LOL! But to be even more fair with Han, here was there pretty much from Day 1 of Luke's training with Obi Wan and saw him go through his early trials and tribulations in developing his understanding and command of the Force firsthand, so Han at the very least was aware that people don't usually go from not even knowing what the Force is to Force Level 10 over the course of a few days lol.

The reason people like me are angry about Rey is not because she has a vagina and is powerful. Rey isn't a mutant from Marvel/DC -- shes a force sensative human being.
Its because they changed the whole concept of the force from being a mystical power that people tap into to just being some major power people are born with. They removed the whole concept of people people needed to attain mastery and just turned Rey into a super hero (although most super heros still take time to come into their full powers).
By breaking cannon with this - they most likely just implemented power creep, and will turn this into the Jedi version of Dragon Ball Z.

That' like being angry over someone being born beautiful because genetics. I think bothered is a much softer word that you should be looking for. It's not a good look to be angry at woman with actual power, after all.
They are aliens who knows what they really are and the force isn't real anyway so why involve science anyway in the most fictional way to probably to rip off of one of those bible stories.
It's not like the force requires you to recite incantations to produce electrical bolts anyway or master a certain hand wave to do a jedi mind trick. Or go to a school to learn spells. What's so mystic about jedi training anyway besides battling your demons and meditation. People dont need that if you are already a stable person as you are. tHat.s like going to church because you want to attain the highest level of spirituality and yet still comes back home saying and doing the same evil things you always do.

Again, you have not played the games. You have not read the books. You clearly do not star wars lore.
I'm seriously starting to feel that you are one of those people that wants a female link in the next Zelda - just because. Instead of creating a new intellectual property/ universe -- they take an existing one and change it to fit feminism.
I'm all for powerful females in gaming and video -- including non sexualized ones. Take Sword Art Online -- My favorite character in the whole anime is Sinon. Because shes a real character that shows inner strength; the lack of a princess complex and even when she falls into the Kirito harem, she still has a brain and can stand to be alone.
