Her desire to go back to Jakku makes it more about the who she belongs with. Not where. She rejects what Maz says when she’s told they aren’t coming back for her, and when she finally accepts it she starts seeking Luke to be that parent for her.

At the end of the day, I’ve always disliked The Force being hereditary. Made the Star Wars universe feel so small. The decision to make Rey disconnected from the dynasties helped make the universe big again. Making her the daughter of the Emperor’s clone made the universe tiny again.

That’s why I loved TLJ, and struggled with Abrams’ films.
