Neko_Ali:
Finn was able to pick up and use a light saber without any prior training with it though, using it in two fights. Not successfully mind you, but without losing any limbs in the process. There was also the Look that Kylo Ren shot him in the very first scene. I'm not sure if it was to signify that he noticed Finn didn't shoot, that he sensed Finn's revulsion, or he picked up a glimmer of force sensitivity.

The question that is on my mind is 'Who is Rey anyway?'.  Clearly she was left behind deliberately and believed someone was coming back for her. Early speculation was that she was also Han and Leia's child, but they never mentioned it. She could be Luke's child, but no mention of him ever having one was made. And why would he abandon his child? Possibly it is but he's not aware of her existence? A one night stand produced an unknown Skywalker heir, who abandoned her child on Jakku? Sold into slavery? Or is she just a random person who's very strong in the Force? If so, why make her parent's identity a mystery? And make her so desperate to stay on Jakku until they return? She'll just be a big question mark until Episode 8...

Finn is a fully-trained infantryman. It is quite possible that he had training in use of close-quarters combat weapons. Although it is highly unlikely he learned how to use a lightsaber, the near-equivalent vibro-sword might have been included in his training.
(click to show/hide)The most we can say is that there is no compelling evidence that Finn must be Force-sensitive but that there is also no on-screen reason to rule that out.

I'm pretty sure that this is going to be the Wham! reveal of Episode VIII.
(click to show/hide) My guess is that she was Luke's daughter who was sent into hiding to protect her from Snoke. The fact that she was fairly close to the location of the old man with the map fragment is significant; whilst coincidence can and do happen a lot in the Star Wars universe, it is a bit convenient and may be indicative that he was there to lead her to Luke when the time came.

If so, how did she end up in such a questionable state? Well, things don't always go according to people's plan. It is possible that Rey's original guardians were killed or turned out to be unreliable. It is even possible that we're in a Harry Potter-style scenario where, so long as she wasn't in mortal peril, the old man had instructions to keep hands-off to keep the First Order's spies from finding her.

I've said it before but her youth will be the main cause of Rey's inevitable flirtation with the Dark Side.

I'm sure I remember that some heightened level of force-sensitivity is necessary to not decapitate yourself with a lightsaber.

Nah, nothing in cannon says that.  Shoot technically speaking Han used one in tESB

Wait, you're saying Han's not force sensitive? Even if they never outright say he is, it's silly to assume he's not.

Are we done with spoiler tags?  I'm gonna still use them, just to be safe.  (click to show/hide)Anyway, keep in mind that Finn is a stormtrooper and presumably has had some training in melee combat--after all, that stormtrooper who attacked him outside Maz Kanata's castle did.  So while he may have been inexperienced in the use of a lightsaber, his first fight was against someone who probably had gone through the same training.  In his second fight he should have lost easily, but Kylo Ren was injured and bleeding after being shot by Chewbacca, so Finn wasn't completely outmatched.

LeeC:
(click to show/hide)I have a theory that she's Luke's daughter (especially due to the tag line "the fore is very strong in my family, my father had it, I have it, my sister has it, you have that power as well").  I am thinking the Old man in the beginning rescued her from Kylo's culling and brought her to Jakku.  Luke may have thought she died in the culling or that if he pursues her, he would put her life in jeopardy.  That one day when she becomes strong enough the old man was to give her the map so she could find her way back to him (that's why he has the missing piece, knows Princess Leia, and that the information is the location to Luke).

Also if she was Han and Leia's daughter, Han and Leia probably would have recognized her (especially force sensitive Leia who can feel loved ones' deaths).
(Edited to move the bit left out of the tag -Method)
