When I left the movie, I was hopeful that Rey wouldn't be a Skywalker, then Finn could be a nice combination of well trained, lucky, and playing against a wounded opponent. Its still possible I was right, and that the force/lightsaber called out to her because the whole Skywalker thing wasn't working out as intended, but I doubt it.
