The Wizard of Oz was an old guy hiding behind a curtain though. Luke really is a space wizard.
It’s all a matter of degrees. I would argue space wizardry has had a serious demotion in the ST, both in terms of what we can expect of it, and in terms of what it takes to become a space wizard.
I don’t know that feats of the Force have gotten more or less impressive in the ST, only that they’ve changed.
It’s true however that according to the ST you can become a powerful Force user in about a week.
With expect I mean the point of view that if you believe, anything is possible. One might argue that it is a myth that you can achieve anything if you work hard enough af it, whilst in reality hard workers fail, and lazy people succeed. In my view myths exist to in part inspire us to reach for the skies, to have us believe the myth, if only for a while, which is where the escapism comes in.
