Good post RL. It definitely seems like the ST and TLJ in particular are implying that less force users = more heightened individual force abilities. TLJ more or less presents the case that Luke cutting himself off from the force (combined with the purge of his academy) created a vacuum in the light side of the force that ultimately lead to Rey’s explosive awakening. Again, this is merely implied, but the suggestion is that her strength is such so that she may balance out Kylo.

Whether IX continues on this potential thread or not, who knows. There is also the rando (Canto) kids throughout the galaxy with force abilities to consider. Abrams has been vocal about the force being a power for “anyone” so I’d imagine no matter which way it goes the film won’t lose sight of that. He also doesn’t seem to care much for excessive exposition so I wouldn’t necessarily expect anything crazy when it comes to deep philosophical musings about the specific agendas of the force through the ages. But he is the one who reintroduced the concept of “balance” so I’d hope for some follow up on that, in some way.
