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 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.

It's pretty much openly stated in the Star Wars movies that when there is a massive imbalance in the Force (meaning too much Dark Side basically) the Force arbitrarily will choose someone and give them extraordinary abilities. That's established canon already. Anakin Skywalker is a virgin birth conceived by the Force to destroy Palpatine basically.

I'm pretty sure Rey is the same deal. Snoke even says it, she's the light to meet the darkness, as if it was basically inevitable. 

And that's a portion I don't like about Star Wars and it manifested itself in the worst way possible with young Anakin and Rey.

Luke is not the same deal, no offence to him, but he's probably a tier below Anakin/Rey. 

No offense at all: Anakin and Rey may be more powerful and whatnot but Luke is the more compelling character and for that, I respect him: he worked and struggled to get where he was at the end of 6. Rey was just about handed everything and she just went with the flow.

I'm pretty sure in the Star Wars universe in the event that the Sith "win" and every good Jedi is killed, the Force will basically just create a new savior/Chosen One, and the powers would be present in them without training. The Force can do some wacky shit, I mean it can impregnate women and allows for ghosts, having a Chosen One that has their power inate in them rather than having to study for a million hours doesn't seem like a big stretch to me. It's Star Wars Neo. 

Ugh. I prefer to think the force takes no side but apparently, Lucas and Disney think otherwise. This Star Wars ain't for me.
