What? You mean like Luke who had to be trained by two Jedi before he could even do the very basics of Jedi shit?

You mean like the way Luke was able to see the sensor ball and deflect its shots while wearing a mask after just two or three sentences of coaching?

It's part of Star Wars canon that some people are just born being good with the Force and that it manifests itself sometimes without training.

Yes but 1) Luke knows he has abilities by this point and 2) this particular ability is hardly mind blowing.

Rey meanwhile 1) knows absolutely nothing! She literally just decides... 'hey, I wonder if i can make this guard do what I say for some reason. I have no reason for believing that I can but screw it, let's give it a shot' and 2) she uses an ability that has been shown to be extremely difficult to master (Luke, in fact, demonstrates how far he's come in Return of the Jedi by using this particular ability). The earlier films establish that you don't just randomly know how to use these abilities. Yoda even thinks Luke is too old to learn how to master them (he ain't much older than Rey).

It's extremely bad story telling.

And again: I know for a fact this wouldn't be an issue for you or anyone else if she were male.

And again: I know that you're an idiot. If Rey was a man, I'd be asking exactly the same question.

HOW!?
