Exactly, it’s the same reason Palpatine’s temptation of Luke didn’t work. Luke never wanted power.

I think your points about the echo chamber and vitriolic reaction to TLJ are spot on. I just can’t believe how loud it’s become. There are certain internet outlets (don’t want to be specific, because I’m not trying to trash anyone) that I follow that have evolved/morphed into an extension of this echo chamber and now pump out more and more content that strains rational thought.

Great points all around! Thanks for pointing out that even Obi-Wan’s lesson with the lightsaber was more about “letting go” than about the lightsaber itself.

I hadn’t thought about the literal nature of Rey taking the books, and you’re right that it’s odd that Yoda would talk about “not losing the girl, Rey” with the scene is moved to just before Crait. I still think it’s worth it, but that could be just one of the many imperfections in the film!

As for force ghost Yoda training Rey: I think that would be gold!
