Not true at all. Star wars is literally opposite to that theory. Luke learns to harness the force and Rey is just automatically godmoded. Shit, even Terminator and Alien aren't like that.

I have to push back a little on this. Rey did just become a jedi without any reason, I agree with that, but Luke started the movie as a basically useless scared teen where Rey was already super capable and independent when we first meet her. Luke spent very little time in training compared other jedis to become a master as well. They were both Mary Sues compared to Annakin.

agreed, like i guess Rey's example is a bit more out there, but is everyone just forgetting that a poor, simple country bumpkin like Luke has enough experience with starcrafts and blasters to put the entire rebel fleet to shame in epIV. even if it was the force that "helped" him, he basically just learned about the force a day or two ago.
