As soon as it became apparent that Rey wasn’t Rey Random, she became much less interesting to me. As is the sequel trilogy.
I must have missed that scene.
Rey has been chosen. She’s not a random person, or just anyone at the right moment, and the right time. The ST just replaced a genetic lotery with a cosmic lotery. The idea that any person can tap into the Force and be a Jedi through training, and hard work is as foreign to the ST as it was for the PT.
That’s just speculation.
You don’t choose what family your born into, so I don’t see much difference.
And she’s still random either way.
Being chosen and random are two different things. If it were random, some obnoxious smuck might also have recieved those powers.
