Make her a ****ing nobody and don't make her OP. Make her a ****ing clone or something - at least I can buy that.
Or just **** everything up and become Transformers and throw CGI at the audience and hope they don't notice.
It's just badly written and not believable.
**** the ST. **** JJ. They made stupid films and shit on established canon that actually made sense. Don't defend them.

Problem is you're now retconning 2 movies worth of plot. Sure if they could undo what they did in TFA & TLJ we could come up with other believable ways to go. The problem is that wasn't an option. Given where the story was left off in TLJ where would you have gone with it. How would you have explained her parentage in a way that makes sense & is consistent with the characters as they've been shown to us and also explains how Rey seemingly is the most powerful force user we've ever seen with no pedigree or real training of any kind.
And I'm not absolving JJ, he partly set this up in TFA. Then RJ took it a step further in the TLJ until we arrived at a point where crafting a story that made sense for the final chapter was difficult. Hell just as a movie watcher that played a part in my lack of exitement for episode 9 as I myself wondered "where do they go with this for a 9th movie"
