(MILD SPOILERS) Star Wars VII, who do you think Rey's parents are?

Rey probably got her piloting skills by searching around the star destroyer that she got parts from so she knew how it worked and also she got minor flying skills from the small speeder bike she had. And remember she wasn't the best when she first started flying a large ship ie. Millennium Falcon.

Well, yeah, she might have learned some skills on Jakku, but she had never flown or operated anything even close to the Millenium Falcon, but although she wasn't the best, she was still pretty good at piloting it.

but from one ship to another the idea is still the same ex: a golf cart compared to a regular car, they use the same propulsion but on a smaller scale

That is true with the example you gave and a few other examples, but take a look at her speeder. Nothing too fancy, it's basically a hovering fudgesicle. Then look at the Millennium Falcon, especially its dashboard and controls. It would be like knowing how to fly a plane after learning to operate a remote control car.

It could also be her ability with the force, since Anakin could also use a tad bit of the force to guide him with pod racing, and she seems to be even stronger than Anakin since she had no training and used a mind trick.

Well, the Force is a bit of a cop-out for everything since it basically has a mind of its own. It's not unreasonable that it reached out the Rey and "taught" her the ability for its own ends.

Luke's daughter, for me.

But no one in the history of Jedi/ sith just had the force, and what is even more strange is that they really didn't mention that Rey had the force at all, it just happened

Yeah, probably the case, though my friend says that Finn and Rey are siblings... Not sure about that one

Well, people who can use the Force do show signs of their ability early, just look at Anakin, he already had precognition when he was a kid before he received any training. Like in Harry Potter where kids can instinctively or subconsciously use their powers before going to Hogwarts.

u/alexgt January 02, 2016, 11:29:52 PM

^ Yeah, but full blown force powers with no training is unheard of...

If Finn and Rey were siblings Finn would also have the force, and when they take storm troopers they scan for medichlorians to see if they could be used for s sith, so it is unlikely...

It doesn't automatically mean Finn has the force, however it is more likely. Also, are we overlooking the obvious evidence of why they aren't siblings?
