After learning Palpatine was still alive and manipulating things like he had before, I felt it was a mistake for them to not double down on Rey Nobody.
With respect, I honestly can’t understand why so many people think it’s perfectly okay to have “Rey Nobody.”
TFA established, and TLJ continued, the notion that this “nobody” is vastly overpowered with the Force compared to anyone else, without any training. That needed an explanation. Either she had to have been parented by a very important “somebody” - or else there needed to be another layer of Force lore, something to the effect that every once in a while the Force, for whatever reasons the writers could invent, manifests in a unique way in a given individual. Rey could be the first such individual the galaxy had seen in eons.
But no, both TFA and TLJ simply assumed Rey’s Force-prowess, with zero explanation - and then TROS offered us the Palpatine explanation, which was dumb. But it would’ve been way dumber if TROS had simply gone with the “Rey Nobody” angle.
Seriously, I don’t get why this isn’t patently obvious.
