That's what this movie was showing us, the Force wasn't just something for the Jedi to have and hold over others because they figured out how to wield it in battle, the Jedi are a single religious group who happen to give a name to the force and use it to push their beliefs much like the way the Sith do to counter their use of it. But basically the force exists for anyone who sits and listens to tap into it, some people are more naturally in tune with it but it's not genetic, it's just some people happen to be more connected with the will of the galaxy.

Reys parents, as they both said together in the film were nobodies, buried in a paupers grave already as they were just drunks, she is a nobody in relation to any of the previously established characters in the SW universe.

It just seem so random then. Why do they keep saying that they need to bring balance to the force when it can just pick whoever it feel will bring the balance and give them the powers? It kinda takes away the whole point of the original trilogy. Just that the Jedis were some kind of cult and training means fuck all. That Rey who was picked by the force is just good, but the jedis was always warned about the dark side of the force and had a hard time controlling it. I don't know. Seems kinda silly to me. 

Catholics are warned about Protestants here. Both believe in more or less the same thing but one side believes the other is using the belief wrong.
