In hindsight I really like the fact that telekinesis was saved for The Empire Strikes Back, and The Force seemed like something you had to really work at, even for someone strong with the Force like Luke.With the little bit of “training” Luke had in STAR WARS it was never established that Ben even taught him how to use telekinesis so that ability came out of nowhere. Truthfully both of them shouldn’t have been able to do that.
Good point. I’m assuming Luke was never in contact with Obi-Wan’s ghost until Hoth. So how did he learn telekinesis? However, it’s even more blatant in TFA.
True that but the ST still has the chance to write themselves out of Rey seemingly being OP with The Force. They could have had it so her mind was wiped like Darth Revan and that her abilities started to resurface during TFA and with that the problem vanishes. Unfortunately the same can’t be done for Luke…though Luke’s abilities wouldn’t necessarily by suspect (at least until ROTJ) if the PT and EU didn’t change how the Force and lightsaber dueling works.
