Rey was sold off as a child and held her own on Jakku for years. In TFA, it's shown she can more than hold her own, long before she ever learns that she has a connection to the force. So I don't buy the "Rey shouldn't barely be able to wield a lightsaber" thing. Anyway, I could adress a lot of the single points here, but I really think what it boils down to is if you go looking for issues and don't look for potential in-movie explanations for them. It has some issues though, sure.

Anyway, I rewatched the entire saga this weekend, and I think people hold the original trilogy in too high regards... They had several developmental issues too.
