And how does Sabine go from having never exhibited any significant force ability and struggling to force grab her light saber from 10’ away to suddenly being able to force throw Ezra onto the ship from a fairly considerable distance away 2 minutes later?

I didn't mind that, to be honest.

Years ago, I bought a "Force trainer" toy, that was cool as hell. You wore something on your head which would read brainwaves like an EEG, connected to a tube with a ping pong ball in it, and a fan at the bottom. When you got the right brainwaves going (you'd sorta meditate and go into a zen mode), the fan would crank up and the ball would move. LINK


For the record, we do EEGs where I work, I understand the principal behind this, and hoped it would work. For awhile, I couldn't do it, and figured it was a ripoff.
Then, I figured it out- instead of staring intently at it, you kinda let your eyes go dim and start taking controlled deep breaths, and suddenly the fan would crank up. Once I got it, it was suddenly very easy to do.

Take that principal over to the show, Sabine never could make anything move, until she got the lightsaber to come to her. And once she did that, it could be an "oh, THAT'S how you do it" moment, and she could then do Force pushes.
