Also didn't like her using the Jedi mind trick without training. But I can get over that I suppose.


Overall I'd put Force Awakens after A New Hope, Return of the Jedi, and Revenge of the Sith. Somewhere right with Empire.

My devils advocate response is that Finn was a soldier with years of training. And Rey has those natural jedi reflexes which she is learning on the fly. I also have to say that if any of those three faced Darth Maul 1 on 1, they would be up poop creek. 

I took the mind trick scene as her hearing of jedi mind tricks growing up in myth form, but now that she realizes from Han the force is real, and maybe she could wield it, she just tried it out of desperation. But only worked when she let it flow through her. 

On that note I am just in nerd heaven this weekend. Saw it again today lol.
