She's a skywalker. She had felt Lukes presence in the OT and had those comments about remembering/not remembering her mother. WE know she is strong with the force. Nothing else needed to be said or done to know that Leia is also a powerful force woman.

Yeah but for her to suddenly be able to pull that off. They should have just killed her character there

I dont think everything needs to be explained. It doesnt need a full backstory. I see a lot of people (not saying you) that are angry and upset about Snoke. There has been a movie/storytelling culture of needing to explain everything in movies to the detriment of actual story telling.

I hear what you're saying and get it - to me that scene just seemed too out of character. It might gel better with me in subsequent viewings

I loved the idea of it but I didnt love the execution. Something about how it was filmed and the CGI didnt sit well with me. But i love the narrative idea of it.

I guess in hindsight - my issue could be to do with the execution.

Other issues I had.
BB-8 controlling an AT-ST and it becoming super agile and manuvarable
Younger Luke's beard
Wasted Phasma

BB8 was borderline terrible in this movie. All of his stuff was just too much. His plugging the circuit board and the ATST scene... I didn't like any of it.
Luke's beard didn't bother me.
Phasma was fine. Like Stip said earlier, she's a Bond henchman. And was used just well. If JJ hadn't dropped the ball on her in TFA then I'd agree with you. But based on what they gave us, I felt she was used perfectly in this.
