While I do see their message about Rey being a nobody (especially following the PT which foolishly made Anakin the “chosen one”), I for one never got the impression that Luke was somehow privileged. He just wanted to be like his father.

Ben I could see being privileged, but I’d like to see them play it up more. Maybe even in an Excalibur like sequence where he tries to unlock an ancient heirloom of the skywalkers but fails- while Rey is deemed worthy of it not for her lineage but for morals.

Maybe it is just my expectations subverted, but I would prefer to see Ben properly end the saga. His death would mark a true conclusion, rather than it being “the Skywalkers are all gone but Rey has founded the New New Jedi and all will be well for 30 years”. Most that comes down to how they present the ending.
