Is Rey too Powerful?

[Frustration]

Yeah. Lucas didn't build a restroom for the cantina set.

Endor moon must be planet size, it'd not like anyone was doing 20 foot jumps. Which means Endor planet itself has to be pretty damned big to keep a Earth sized moon in place and by the looks of it, stable too.

Well, The Moon is like 1% of the mass of the Earth. If you scaled the Earth up to the size of Jupiter, then The Moon would be 4 times the size of Earth. If you scaled the Earth up to the size of Saturn, then The Moon would be 1.17 times the size of Earth. It seems at least semi-plausble for a gas giant to have a massive moon. Still doesn't explain why no one ever sees Planet Endor.

That was my point. It would have to be a big planet for the Endor moon which we don't see at all.

[Frustration]

Again, why would we ever be shown that planet? Their effects budget was large but not unlimited.

So getting back to Rey here. I would like to add to this list: Force healing.

And BTW, I don't care if this appeared in some Star Wars book. In the context of these films, which is what the vast majority of people have as their reference point, it comes out of nowhere and is story breaking. It makes no sense at all that Obi Wan Kenobi - student of Qui Gon Jinn and Yoda - wouldn't have known this ability but Rey does.

Nothing breaks a plot quicker than introducing healing abilities except perhaps casual time travel.

Healing without consequences breaks plots rapidly. It's why the existence of medical assistance doesn't ruin The Empire Strikes Back - Luke gets a new hand, but it's a prosthetic.

Definitely agree. More advanced than what we can do, but it's not out of the realm of our own possibility. Especially in the context of Star Wars too. Though at the time no one knew the extent of how much Darth Vader was more machine than man according to Kenobi.

They also took it a step further, simple healing of scratches or cuts is one thing. But bringing someone from death or brink of death does stretch it.
