Harry Potter and Neo exist in their own respective universe though, for starters. Rey is in Luke's universe where Luke demonstrates that the powers of the force don't just fall out of the sky and land in your lap.

Luke had to train. Rey didn't. For her, force powers just happen because reasons.

Rey is that respective archetype to the Star Wars universe though, Luke is not. Luke is a different heroes journey, Rey's heroes journey is the Chosen One arc.

So Rey didn't have to train because she's some sort of archetype? The force breaks the fourth wall and sides with her because the script is telling it to?

The Force to me seems to do whatever the fuck it wants in Star Wars, if it predestines someone to bring balance to the Force, it seems to me like that's going to happen. No matter what. 

The force is becoming a get-out-of-jail-free card and can be used by Rey who didn't need to train to use it. It wasn't like this with the original trilogy where Luke had to train on how to use it.
