There is a indeed a gender problem, but it's not with me.

Hence; “The Rise of the FANDOMMENACE!”
I’m not a huge Starwars nerd, but I am perfectly willing to accept that someone more naturally in tune with the force (as I understand the concept of it) would require significantly less training to tap into it.
What’s so hard to believe about using the jedi mind trick without training? It seems more likely to me to do that intuitively than to successfully parry a charge. As you even bring up, Yoda was insistent that Luke be fully trained to face Vader, but was it his physical skills, or his mental readiness that he needed to be ready?
Don’t forget that Rey is a female (I think), so she is literally perfect in every way, and needs no further development, because she was born fully developed by virtue of her vagina.
Are you sure that you aren’t projecting your own problem with gender on the situation then? IE, you don’t like strong female characters?
Who else loved it when River Tam put a beatdown on those reavers?
No, seriously though, I get your gripe. This all seems like too much short-cutting.
TBH, I’m tired of training montages though. It’s too 1980s for me. lol.
That trailer succeeded in making want to watch the first three movies again lol.
Hahah
get out of here, you stupid Democrat.
Also, I agree that in the last movie, not only did Rey seem to shortcut all the training and preparation that the earlier stuff seemed to make requisite, but she also seemed too devoid of personal flaws. Fans like character flaws. It makes them more sympathetic. Tom Cruise built a career on flawed characters finding redemption. heh.

Star Wars 9?
Geez
A bunch of mad scientists spent years doing … we don't know exactly what … to River Tam. Sort of like the Vorlons spent a while doing … we don't know exactly what … to Lyta Alexander.
Only in America, can a poor black boy, grow up to become a rich white woman.
Lol!
Mr. Jefferson was one sick puppy. SMH.
Not going to see it. I am done with Star Wars. It is nothing but a "diversity" and women empowerment crap fest nowadays.
I didn’t do Solo either. I saw Rebel One which was OK. What were they thinking?
There you go; THAT is why we are no longer STAR WARS fans.
DisneyRAT can ROT!
If you have seen one SW movie, you have seen them all.
