To be fair, they DID show that she was a child with someone (likely Luke) before she was abandoned on Jakku. She COULD have been trained in her infancy and she's just recalling those old tricks. But that can only account for so much. I can understand wanting to make a strong, competent female lead that doesn't need to be rescued 90% of the time (Even Leia fell into that trap in all 3 original movies) But there's strong, and then there's just ridiculous.
That could mean anything though. It could be Luke, or just some other random guy who happened to be her father or uncle or Jedi guardian or something. The Skywalker bloodline is strong, but they aren't the only ones capable of using the Force after all. Plus we already had one reveal showing the Skywalker lineage has continued, I'm not sure we need another that just makes the galaxy that much smaller.
As for Leia, she was captured and needed rescuing in every single OT movie so I'm not sure where you're going with that. Hell she got captured *twice* in RotJ, and in all of those events she only ever broke herself out once, and even then that was thanks to Luke's help.
and 2) Difference is, the Prequels were 5% fight (good ones) 90% SHIT dialogue (because if it was good dialogue it wouldn't be a problem) and 5% retarded fights.
This one turned it on its ear with 90% crisis/fight, 10% good dialogue. The best should be 75% dialogue and 25% good fights. Less is more. And to overflood the movie with action just desensitized us to it.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. Mad Max: Fury Road had minimal dialogue and worked out just fine.
