It was explained in the books that Rey had been training most of her life on Jakku in combat... Specifically staff fighting. Her skills were so well known on Jakku that most people didn't f*ck with her. Agreed that some more Jedi training would've been good, but I got no problem thinking she can translate staff fighting to the light saber. Especially with the force awakening in her.
"it IS you"
Kylo & Snoke were expecting a light side force user to step up now that they had unleashed the dark side through mass genocide. They had an understanding that the force just balances itself out that way. That's what Snoke meant when he said "the dark rises... & the light to meet it." So the 2 of them were not only expecting someone... they were speculating it was Luke. That's why they were so gung ho to find Luke.
To both of their surprise it turned out to be Rey. The "it IS you" statement is referring to that recognition. Like during the mind meld scene, he knew she was strong... but it wasn't till that moment in the forest that he realized that she was the one to balance their darkness rising.
That's how I took it anywayz.
@One MMA Fan @EvilDDS what do you make out of the "it IS you" statement at the end of TFA?
That crossed my mind, I was just hopingbthat wasn't it.
