1) the guts of a star destroyer she explores all the time
2) Current thinking is that she is possibly Luke's progeny - both he and Ani were talented natural pilots. But also... (see below)

Someone pointed out that there was a manual of space ships or something of that nature in her living quarters - she was clearly obsessed to the point of having X-Wing fighter dolls and a helmet stashed there. She had nothing better to do than learn about ships - including the "junk" one that she was familiar enough with to know its provenance - probably from having dicked around inside it.

The storm troopers in these movies seem to have developed better aim as well. No one's complaining about that...

Bullshit - she had clearly heard some stories about the old Jedi order and what they could do. In fact, Han confirmed that the stories were true.

1) Ren had been shot, thus weakened, as well as thrown out of his headspace by her resistence
2) she's a bowstaff wielder - she was swinging that lightsaber around like a person who was used to a staff.

Nothing she did in any way was 'unique' to stories she had heard and experimented with, or things she saw Kylo Ren doing and immediately assumed must be possible, then.
Leia, I'll remind you, needed no training to resist Darth Motherfucking Vader when he was interrogating her, even with an interrogation droid helping and his considerable force strength. Don't talk to me about her being a Mary Sue.
