DrDre, one could argue that the Force was never all about lifting rocks and stuff. So whether ability comes from deliberate practice or just cuz, it doesn’t matter.
(I think that’s a weak excuse for undermining the rules of the Star Wars universe but fits the ‘you’re focusing on the wrong stuff’ argument.)
I would agree, if the development/mastery of these powers, and personal growth/decline weren’t so obviously linked in Lucas’ space saga, but they are. The ST has thrown out the baby with the bath water. It should come as no surprise that Rey is considered by many to be the most bland protagonist in the saga.
