You're wrong about Anakin. Any force user has a sort of intuition and higher than normal reflexes but it doesn't give them any hidden knowledge like how to fight with a light saber well enough to win against a trained and gifted force user. They can be gifted or talented at many things but they have to learn it. Anakin knew how to tinker with machines because he learned it like everyone else. He wasn't able to fight against anyone with force powers til after he was trained .

Rey is not like any force user. She's just Rey. She doesn't make any sense. They should have written her character differently and toned her down a great deal but it would change a great deal of the new films. They were written bad and they're catching some shit for it. 

At NINE YEARS OLD though? lol. The only human capable of flying death pods at 1000 mph? 

His mom getting fucked by Force penis to magically create a baby? 

None of that stretches the lore too much? C'mon guys. 

I actually think it would work if Rey is somehow willed by the Force and in particular Anakin himself from the Netherworld of the Force after Luke shuts himself off. It makes sense because Anakin is not going to just sit there and watch everything he set right be ruined by his idiot grandson. 

Thematically it works perfectly too, because Kylo Ren is obsessed with being the next Darth Vader, the irony would be if Anakin chooses Rey to basically inherit his power. So she is basically everything Kylo thought he should be by birthright, that works very well thematically. 

I could see that, even though really it doesn't even require that kind much explanation. She's the chosen one/golden child/messiah. Force chose her to end the Dark Side. And what the Force wants, the Force apparently gets it seems. 

it makes sense within that universe. I wouldn't dismiss what a kid can do so easily. I read of a few real life kids who commanded troops and won battles so well that they were awarded for it. I've also seen some smart ones.  

It would of have been better explained if the ghost of one of the jedi trained her (which is possible) or was trained by another force user that came across her when she was young and helped raise her..
