I don't think she's great in the movie overall. But rewatching it, I do think that moment is effective and stands out.

Im still conflicted with how they handled Han's death. The bridge scene was way too obvious. I did liked Harrison and Adam there, they were good. really good. But the everything else...the light going away, the darkness coming into Adam's face....JJ should have handled it better.

Post-death, Leia embracing the girl she’s known for five minutes instead of Chewie is unforgivable.

‘It’s not an accident’

You all probably should find that interview.

Oh yeah. Even JJ said he fucked up with that scene. No one bought that one.

He is talking about Rey's sudden force wisdom not about that scene.

I love that JJ is talking about that. I remember lots of SW fans were screaming OH YEAH, LUKE WAS POWERFUL TOO IN HIS FIRST DAY. nope guys, nope.

Jj did an interview worth rolling stone. They asked all the hard questions. Basically all the criticisms TFA/Rey based. One of them was Rey was immediately skilled in the force

His answer was ‘oh yeah. That wasn’t an accident’.

I always hated that. It’s right there in the title. The force awakens in her. How many more signals do you need. And then Snoke ‘there has been an awakening. Have you felt it?’

Sad they have to address idiot troll questions 4 years later when it’s right there in the film.

I think the issue is with how they handled it. Having the director go 'Oh yeah - we meant to turn her into a superhero in the blink of an eye' doesn't take away from that criticism

I can’t agree. It’s in the title of the film. It’s in the script and dialogue. In both the first and second film.

Baffling to me its still is a thing.

Further, I can see it being a problem going into and coming out of the final. For the same folks.

** it’s funny we take it on word that kylo is this big powerful bad guy.

Didn’t see his Fucking training montage or even any of his skills. He arrives prepackaged.

But no questions asked. Grand. He’s the baddie.
