I was always more of a Star Trek guy. I liked Star Wars as fun entertainment. Star Wars though somehow morphed into a real cult of sorts, worse in my opinion than Star Trek.

The last two Star Wars pictures were okay but there seems to be a real effort to make them more about Female Warriors than anything else. What was too much was in “The Force Awakens” you have that girl, who without any Jedi training at all, is able to fly the Millennium Falcon and fight with a Light Saber like she was an old hand at it. Kind of strained the credibility of being a Jedi. Just my opinion.

Remember Force powers are nothing more than wish fulfillment, the training is mostly about control and finding out what you can actually do. Luke had all of like 10 minutes of Force training before winding up in an X-Wing and flying better than almost everybody else. And as for lightsaber, she really wasn’t that good, it was just that Ren was fighting a subduing style, big slow hard swings to tire the other person out, because he didn’t want to kill her. Anybody can fight against that, you’re SUPPOSED to be able to block all the shots. It’s not like she did any double moves, that’s where things get hard.
