She was old enough to know her name when she was left on Jakku and old enough to have rudimentary reading skills..enough to expand on. She was shown to obviously pick up things quickly. In the years she was on Jakku she learned multiple languages, how to pilot and work on starships and all around survive...most likely through the Force.
Actually, she didn't "know" how to fly when she climbed aboard the Falcon. That was part of her awakening. I also found it a bit hinky that she could understand BB-8 when everyone else needed an interpreter. |

The only way I can begin to excuse her knowing how to fly the Falcon is if she is Kylo Ren's sister, meaning she literally grew up on the Falcon and still has procedural memories related to things Han taught her when she was little. That's one of the reasons I feel that Rey HAS to be a Solo for things to make any sense. But then...the way Rey was written is my one major sticking point with TFA. |

She says in the movie, she didn't know what she was doing at all. I do feel though that Rey is supposed to replace Jaina Solo. And what I gather from the most popular images of Jaina, she is a "Rebel" pilot of considerable skill. |

Rey said she was a pilot while they were running towards the quad jumper. So it is likely she could fly, just needed to get the hang of the Falcon's unusual controls and handling aspects. That she picked up on that fast means she is either a rather good pilot or the Force helps her reflexes as it did Anakin or Luke in their youths, before training.

Apparently we're going to have to watch it again. |

Are we 100% sure Rey remembers her name? Considering that Rebel helmet she has says "Dosmit Ræh" on it, I'm not entirely sure she does.

This morning (Yes, already 1 PM here  ) was the national Physics exam for kids in their last year of high school (we call that Baccalauréat) ... And the 3rd exercice proposed to calculate the size of Tatoo 1 and 2 and their weight ... and the characteristic of the orbit of Tatooine  We usually make that in university because we are free but it is really unusual (and fun) that the gov (who manage this exam) allows this type of questions For those who can read a little of french, the intro of the exercice: Illustration |

My skill at reading French is limited (Spanish does NOT help as much as it does with Italian or Portuguese), but that is really cool! I wonder how much they had to pay in royalties to be allowed to do that?

Good question ... Maybe Disney was cool about that considering the age of the teenager passing the exam ... Or maybe they ask for millions as now, french kids make a link between Star Wars and Physic exam and they will avoid theaters during the next movies lol |

I don't think Disney needed to sue for royalties since it was not-for-profit. NTM, buzz is buzz. How stupid would Disney be if they smacked someone for hyping their product without consent? |

There it is. Disney couldn't care less, if no money is involved. Plus, it's almost like a free advertisement for them. Logos' has it figured out. -1 |

Per the book of short stories for her, Poe and Finn, which is canon, she spent a LOT of her free time playing with a piloting simulator she cobbled together. |

How realistically could she have programmed a simulator without any coding knowledge or resources? It's not like she has a library where she should've been able to learn that. |

Cobbled together from what? How realistically could she have programmed a simulator without any coding knowledge or resources? It's not like she has a library where she should've been able to learn that.
My very next question. How accurate can a child program a flight sim? |

Would she even need to have programmed it? It really depends on the state of disrepair. I'd argue she had plenty of resources at her disposal, she just needed the time to find them. Not necessarily defending her for any reason other than I find her cobbling something like that together totally acceptable and reasonable unless it explicitly stated she had to recode it or something of that sort. Even then we don't really know how programs like that work in the SW universe. |
