[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6981296, member: 6801286"] I think its important to remember that protagonists in a Star Wars movie can do heroic acts without the Force necessarily being involved. Luke does plenty of stuff in A New Hope without the use of the Force being implied. When characters in Star Wars use the force, they often seem to pause to concentrate, or they make some kind of gesture. For example: Luke switching off his targeting computer and trusting his feelings, or Rey and Kylo Ren pausing as their lightsabers clash at the end of TFA. In TFA, it doesn't seem Rey is in touch with the Force until she is confronted by Kylo Ren, or touches Luke's lightsaber. Her powers seem to gradually unlock throughout the movie with each direct encounter she has with the Force (be it another Force user, or by touching a weapon belonging to a powerful Force user). Everything leading up to those moments, was probably just her normal set of protagonist skills. An exciting escape from a few Tie-Fighters in the best and fastest spaceship in the galaxy, by someone with some experience flying spaceships, does not require a supernatural explanation plot-wise. Everything that happens on Jakku does not make any hint at the Force being used. [/QUOTE]
