Star Wars: The Force Awakens
There are those who criticize Star Wars: The Force Awakens because Rey is more skilled in several ways than Luke was at roughly the same age.
These critics ignore one important fact: Luke was sheltered.
Tatooine is a harsh environment, no doubt, but Luke had the Lars family to guide and protect him.
Rey, from what we've seen, had few (if any) protectors and had to make her way in an unforgiving landscape as best she could manage. The fact that she's still breathing says something about her ability.
