The alternative was to set Rey up better as being really fucking powerful, and use that ending as the big moment when she believes in herself to unleash her power and kick Ren in the fanny. I mean that's kind of what happened anyway I think. They just didn't want to tell us anything about Rey because of suspense I guess. That and they're going to do a big reveal at the end of the second movie because that's what you do if you're making a successor to the original films.
I feel like I'm being such a dick whenever I talk about this movie, but I also really want to dissect it a bit and think about why that ending didn't do it for me in more detail.
