All that stuff is text book golden child/chosen one archetype stuff, lol. 

Right down to the tee. "Lucky things" just seem to happen to them, and they are resented by others who are basically jealous of them being so great, they are good at most everything. 

My personal theory on Rey is that she is chosen by Anakin to inherit his power as the Chosen One if there absolutely needs to be a spelt out explanation. That would bring a lot of things full circle and it fits within Buddhist/Eastern philosophies that Star Wars very obviously "borrows" from. 

The only lesson these characters typically learn is that they should never doubt themselves because they're always right. It's basically the only thing Neo learns in the Matrix. He is the Compu-Jesus and he was wrong to even doubt that himself, let alone other characters like Cipher and Agent Smith who doubt him, those two are really wrong lol. That's the moral of the story, the only "wrong" thing Neo does in the movie is ever doubt himself, and even then everything works out great for him, lol. His plan to save Morphues, the entire execution of it, is 100% correct, even though no one agrees with him. His choice to stare down Agent Smith and fight him is 100% even though he is specifically told NOT to do this. And when he should die by the "rules" of that Matrix, he basically doesn't, lol, cuz Neo. And love. But mostly Neo. 

In the first half of the series whenever confronted with a threat there's always some convenience that gets him out of it and it isn't until the 4th movie where he fails at something. The writing for Harry Potter, it isn't until the very end of the series where he can solve stuff on his own without conveniences and generous writing.

it makes sense within that universe. I wouldn't dismiss what a kid can do so easily. I read of a few real life kids who commanded troops and won battles so well that they were awarded for it. I've also seen some smart ones.  

It would of have been better explained if the ghost of one of the jedi trained her (which is possible) or was trained by another force user that came across her when she was young and helped raise her..

But you take your comparison out of context, like a few before did. Star Wars initial run was longer than a year. There really was no mainstream home video at the time, as VHS released that same year. In fact, it didn't get put on VHS until 1982, 5 years later, and had a few rereleases in theater by then. One of them actually came right after ESB left theaters, which added the EP. 4 to the title. Point being, if you wanted to watch SW between 1977 and 1982, you had to watch it in theaters. When ESB hit theaters, the home video landscape had changed. Movies were being put on VHS a year or two after they hit the theaters. Films were being put on television, instead of getting umpteen theater rereleases.  TLJ doesn't have that excuse. 

And if you look on BOM, ESB actually outperformed ANH for the data we actually have on it. ESB did $145.9M in its first 13 weeks. SW did $113M.  Like I said, the movie industry just changed so much after the introduction of VHS and increased popularity of broadcasting movies on TV. 

As for Wonder Woman, of course it did, it's a freaking mainstream SW episode, the largest movie franchise in history. With the help of mass hype it opened to $450M WW. Which was only 15% down from TFA opening. Doesn't change the fact that fewer fans are going in for repeat viewings, causing that 15% to plummet to 31%. And who knows how much further it will drop in the next month.

Theres no paralel with the DC movies whatsoever, the DC movies are bad movies. Visual effects are bad, plot is nonsensical, some of the acting is poor, editting is terrible (Suicide Squad is so badly editted it almost can't be considered a movie at all) and whatnot. Star Wars the Last Jedi on the other hand is a great movie, the critics love it cause it is a beatfully done piece of cinema,  the cinematography in some scenes is amongst the very best ever to grace our eyes, thats not hyperbole, there is a very real chance TLJ grabs some technical Oscars. The movie takes a lot of liberties and does a plethora of unexpected things regarding Star Wars lore tough, and since hardcore fans believe they are the owners of all Star Wars lore and if you do anything they don't agree with you need to burn in the Seven Circles of Hell, the movie is getting backlash, its pretty simple to understand.

Despite any of that it has flown over 1 billion $ worldwide already (surpassing Rogue One's total numbers within 2 weeks of release). Considering we always knew it would never reach anywhere near Force Awakens numbers (all the years of anticipation don't exist anymore and it is the second movie in a trilogy, historicaly always the least hyped of a 3 parter) its doing amazingly well even with the crazy fans rantting and smear campaign.

In this case people saying sexism probably have a case. There is definitely some of that going on. Such a character never gets criticized if it's a guy. I recall zero complaints about Neo "Compu-Messiah" in the Matrix or Harry Potter: Isn't He Wonderful/Special/Smart/Perfect/Should Be Fucking Heromonie But He's So Good He Lets His Mate Have Her. I do think the sequels should give Rey more time though, there's too many characters and they are focusing on too many things around her.
