The Last Jedi--Movie Review--Yes, it's been out awhile. I've waited to put my thoughts down.

The whole Rey argument has never made much sense to me.

Luke blew up the Death Star with just the training on the Falcon or really no training.

And then in Empire he drew the lightsaber to his hand, again no one to really train him on how to do that.

Luke lost, but he held his own for awhile against Darth Vader. And Vader could certainly crush Kylo Ren.

Leia could hear Luke in Empire calling to her from weather vain on Bespin.

And Anakin flew a podracer with Jedi like abilities in Episode 1, and he passed the ESP test with Mace Windu again, with no training.

There's a history of characters being able to do things without much or any training.

I followed you back.

Firstly thank you @mctiller for the follow I really appreciate it, and secondly thank you for the reply. I feel that this makes sense, you have really opened my eyes towards this topic. Maybe the force reacts to someone in need much more in stressful environments.

I've always viewed it as like a natural athletic ability. Some people naturally run faster, or have better eyesight, or quicker reflexes. No matter how much training I get, I will never be a professional or even a good basketball player.

Training just makes the gifted even better.

Remember the last scene in the Last Jedi, where the kids pulls the broom to his hand, no training, just something he does naturally.
