The actors are 11 years apart in real life. Rey is supposed to be 19 in TFA, and Daisy was 22 during production. I'm not sure how old Kylo Ren is supposed to be, but Adam Driver's real age of 31 seems about right--or bit younger. I'd say the character is at least 25 in TFA.
Episode VII and Rey (Total Speculation)
Did she? I thought the story was she had a lot of simulator time but never actually flew a ship before.
Agreed. In the SW universe the force can act through you without you knowing about it.

Luke became a "full Jedi" after a couple hours training with Obi-wan and a couple days with Yoda being a backpack as he ran.
So it apparently doesn't take much.

Yep, she says so in the movie. It's in a quick bit of throw away dialogue with Finn after her escape from Jakku.

In my opinion I think that Rey is going to be the next Skywalker (or I'd like her to be) or next big thing! Not to mention The force is very VERY powerful with her. Every time she does something she is great at it. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. I'm going to throw out there 2 case scenarios.
Scenario #1 : Rey is either in the picture to be the next best thing thanks to The Force
Scenario #2 : Rey is actually there because of the dark side (and we just don't know that yet) and is trying to learn and advance in everything because a). She is going to take the good side out. OR b). she is the one that is going to try and wipe out both sides. (now remember this is just my theroy!!)
Either or... I'm just exploring the options. And I love hearing all the therories that everyone else has.

Come now, Rey is NOT going to be the bad guy (or gal). She is clearly the main hero of the new trilogy. This is also in line with the general cultural trend of re-writing/re-working major stories to incorporate female and/or minority protagonists. Actually, consider that the only white guys in TFA either die (Han Solo) or are bad (Kylo Ren) or old/not really in it (Luke). The main characters are female (Rey), black (Finn), and brown (Poe). I don't have a problem with this, mind you, just pointing it out.
As far as Rey's parentage, there are really only a few options from most to least likely:
1) Luke. I mean, it is the most obvious answer.
2) Han and Leia. I'd say only slightly less possible, and would fit the general TFA trend of aping the original trilogy..."Rey, search your feelings...you know it to be true: I am your brother." "Noooo, that's not true!!!"
3) Obi-wan. This is least likely because of the age gap - Rey'd have to be 30+ years old, which is obviously not the case. On the other hand, daddy could've been a force ghost when he got it on with mommy.
4) Some other. We'd probably have some clue who it might be, and there's been no easter eggs as far as I know. Maybe Boba Fett blasted his way out of the sarlac pit and settled down and got married? Maybe she's Obi-Wan's grand-daughter?
