Puh-leaze. The canon has 1000 different hilariously stupid things in it and was already throw in the toilet after Lucas wiped his ass with it with the prequels. 

It was *obvious* he did not have the full story plotted out and just a very vague rough back story. 

There is nothing in the movie that's not canon anyway if it does turn out Rey had some training as a child. 

The fanboys are idiots in some ways anyway ... the "Force" is a mystical concept, it's not a goddamn video game power where everything is segmented into things like "Jedi Mind Trick takes XYZ hours to learn", "Jedi Force Push is level 2 Jedi power" ... this is like nerdy people who get all excited by martial arts but think ability is tied to their belt color ("ooh a black belt will always beat a orange belt! The chart says so!"). 

Actually the force IS just that. Its essentially martial arts mastery. The user through intense training, mediation, and control learns how to channel the force to do their bidding.

They do not just hit puberty and have the ability to manipulate the universe instantly.

 

So where does Anakin's training come from. He's the only human who can race pods at like 500 mph? Forget puberty he's already doing amazing things in grade freaking school. He meditated and was taught to do this? 

In martial arts I can train for 10 minutes and then be able to win a fight with my eyes closed? This is basically what Luke does. He saves the galaxy, special trainnig my ass. Even the the time line for this is wildly inconsistent, in Empire he's shown to be basically a novice Jedi, he trains with Yoda for what is basically like ... one week? Two weeks? Then ROTJ is six whopping months later and now he's basically a "master" who can beat Darth Vader fairly easily. 

And no, the Force isn't "martial arts mastery" and it's certainly the lay-man's "nerds" version of martial arts (ie: the guys who think martial arts "power" is represented by belt color). 

Those are people who are too into the freaking video games and dorky Dungeons & Dragons aspect of the franchise.
