I get the Rey vs Ren in physical combat. Ren was shot, just killed his father and totally off balance.
The precognitive ability to dodge blows like she did in the market with the thugs, much like Luke and the training bot, I consider a basic ability of Force sensitivity.
The ability to force ones mental will over another would require instructed training. I've not seen any character not trained at a full Jedi level do it in the movies.
So Episode 4,5 and 6 are laughable prequels to 7? I'm using what's been shown on the big screen and not hypothetical assumptions of "It is what It Is. "
Much like HW85 questions about the blue lightsaber some how re-appearing in the movie after it was lost like it's the freaking One Ring.
