Lot of people seem to take issue with the seemingly new “everyone can learn the ways of the Force” angle. I don’t get that. I think it is perfectly in line with the original Star Wars. Luke wanted to become a Jedi, because his father was one. As far as the audiences knew back then, even Han could master the Jedi ways if he cared to. Luke’s uniqueness only became a thing when the prequels established his father as an actual space Jesus.

The problem is that the first part of this new story strongly hints, that Rey’s parentage actually matters and then suddenly this other guy takes over the story and just goes “yeah, we’re not doing any of that”.
