Luke: “Is the dark side stronger?”
Yoda: “No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.”

In TLJ Rey takes the path of the dark side in that she gets Force powers too easily, while Kylo Ren has trained his whole life, which is more of the original concept for the light side. The light and dark side’s have literally been inverted in the new trilogy, where the light path is actually the dark side, and the dark path is actually the light side.

I don’t see how this makes any sense at all.

Yoda was talking about choosing the quicker, easier path. Running off to save your friends before you’re ready, for instance. Rey had no choice to make the way Luke did - she was ready. Even if you think she didn’t struggle enough, you can’t blame her for that.

You’re really stretching to prove this movie got everything wrong.
