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..

It's kinda boring and has been done before though. I like the idea of "The Force Awakening" being a literal earthquake/one-time type event that is caused by Luke shutting himself off from the Force.

He won't open himself to the Force, so then the Force will take matters into its own hands and annoints its own Chosen One, some one better than Luke.

It had no problem impregnating a woman, and that's accepted by Star Wars fans as A-OK. 

Within the context of what's presented in this trilogy IMO this works. It fits within the context of the Last Jedi too because one of the main themes in the movie is the Force is SEPARATE from the Jedi/Sith ... those are just groups of people that try to manipulate the Force for what they think is correct. But they don't "own" the Force, the Force is bigger than them. 

I actually liked that aspect that Luke tried to hammer home to Rey. It's an arrogant presumption. The Force is not a martial art or aerobics program. The Jedi/Sith have just operated on that basis, but that doesn't make either of them right, it seems to me there's a lot about the Force both of them are clue less about. 

That part of The Last Jedi I thought worked well. I liked Luke hammering home that Jedi are arrogant to presume ownership of the Force.
