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.

It's not even like that with Space Jesus, Anakin. And it is never stated that the Force has a will of its own. It's just an energy that surrounds everything that some can connect with. Even in the prequel trilogy, it is some Jedi prophecy, which turned out wrong, not the Force, saying Anakin is the chosen one. It's also implied that Darth Plagueis created him by toying with the Force to create life. Seems that would greatly swing the Force in their favor. The balance is for Force users to keep, not some sentient matter that likes fucking with people. Just a poor device to try to cover up for a Mary Sue.
