Wasn't Daniels the one who said his eyes glazed over when Abrams pitched him the story?
He had like 3 lines of dialogue. So, if thats true, who cares what he thinks.

He seems like the only one with any sense.

Actually the only thing i recall that Daniels had issue with was having to keep it all a secret.

He's also a notoriously bitter and angry person who lords it up about his self perception as someone of importance. Cast and crews hated him in every setting over the years.

For all the complaining about it being a rehash, no Star Wars film has ever left us all with so many intriguing questions and speculation.

In the scene with Han and Maz she asks him who the girl is. The way it cut away makes it look like he knew who Rey was and went on to tell Maz.

That said there's no reason she can't just be a nobody/anybody found randomly. Anakin was found randomly by Qui gon. Yet It seems first trilogy about Anakin, second about his son & daughter, third about his grandkids?

Went into town grabbed a coffee at some place that was taking down scaffolding - dropping the metal framing - making a hell of a noise, took a good 10 minutes for the coffee, Little Rangi slept through it all. She would probably have been alright to take in hindsight.

From elsewhere:
The Force Awakens novel implies that Ren knows Rey. She is NOT some randomer. They have history.

When she force grabs the saber he says to her - "It IS you!"

Also Leia says that Snoke was whispering in Rens ear since he was a kid and that she tried to protect him from Snoke but to no avail.

Snoke also knows who Rey is.

The fact that she was such a natural pilot, knew her way around the ship, was kind of a smart ass in some regards, and her resistence to Ren's mind probe shit....I think she is in the family.

It was still the only responsible choice, and the best one.

I hope you adore the movie when you do see it.
