[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7314320, member: 6785785"] Against? Weak your grasp of the Force is. :p Seriously, she doesn’t need an enemy or an obstacle to use the Force. I’m not sure if training is as required as you are making it. It plays a part in things, absolutely...Obi-Wan tells Luke to train with Yoda....but that doesn’t mean Luke wasn’t already using the Force. He used it to help destroy the Death Star, and he used it again on Hoth. All before he received any actual training. Unless we consider Obi-Wan’s very basic instruction on the Falcon as training. But even if we do, that’s pretty scant. We have no evidence from any of the films that an individual could not learn to use the Force to some extent on their own. On fact, I think there is ample evidence to suggest that many in fact do, even if they are not aware of it. I’m not giving her more. I am fine with Luke doing what he did in the original trilogy. I’m fine with what Rey does in this one, although for different reasons. The Force Awakens showed us that Rey has an incredibly strong connection to the Force. She was already feeling it before she ever even met anyone that could use it. She had visions and felt the call of Anakin’s and Luke’s old lightsaber. This is more than we ever saw of any connection Luke may have had with the Force until Obi-Wan shows up. Then in The Last Jedi, Luke confirms that Rey is potentially stronger in the Force than anyone he’s ever met, except perhaps for Kylo Ren. Snoke then reinforces this and says that Rey’s ascension is the Light Side responding to the Dark. So yeah...I think that there’s plenty shown in the movie to justify Rey’s ability. I think that to deny that means that you’ve either missed or flat out reject what the movies show us. [/QUOTE]
