Sorry but no. Everyone is aware of the force but being aware of it and being able to use it are very different things. There is absolutely no reason for Rey to assume that she can. It's strongly implied in the original trilogy that Leia has a connection to the force (there is another) but at no point does anyone assume that she'll start lifting tie fighters with her mind. Rey had also read Kylo's mind, apparently by accident, so she knew she had the Force. That was still BS, though. Well, let's be honest. Star Wars was never particularly smart or deep. If you wanted to call bullshit on its universe or the Force or its politics or character motivations, there's no shortage of things to nitpick or gripe about. Star Wars was never an exercise in world-building or a character study; it's breezy, escapist fiction and it's kinda silly and dumb. You're not supposed to think too hard about it and you're not supposed to walk away from the films with a greater understanding of the world-- you're just supposed to enjoy the ride and have a good time and be thrilled and entertained. Why Star Wars has to be something more than just a fun excursion and taken seriously is beyond me. |
