Why is everybody upset that they are nobodies?

It doesn't make sense from a narrative standpoint if her parents are Luke, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Jar Jar, etc.

When people said that she was too powerful, many people suggest it would be explained away because we don't know her her parents are.

Then they said he was powerful just because Kylo..wait what? That would mean people who spent their child hood training did it for nothing. I mean if Jedi trained to hard, that would mean they would make people on the dark side stronger .

yeah...I know that "balance" thing was mentioned like 3 times during the movie but god I hope everyone is just misinterpreting it to mean something it doesn't. There's always been talk of a general balance to the force, but "balance" in the old sense meant pure light side, that was the true uncorrupted form of the Force. This new thing TLJ set up goes against that completely, and doesn't even make much sense. Rey is automatically made as strong as Kylo to balance it out? Does every light side user have a dark side counterpart? Why does anyone train if they'll always be as strong as they need to be to defeat their enemy? Rey could have just....not gone to find Luke, and would apparently still be just as strong?

What world do you live in where people don't complain about Anakin literally nonstop? Even though he's made from the force and you actually see him training all of his life, people still hate that dude because he can't stop whining.

And, personally, I think Luke beating Vader was kinda dumb but I know I can't trash talk the Original Trilogy without a bunch of negative feedback so let me just back away right quick.

Plus he's space Jesus so being advanced in the force is a bit more forgivable.

he didn't do 1/3 of the stuff Rey did. He wasn't competent until RotJ, after extensive training. He was a whiney impulsive brat for the first two movies who had to rely on his friends to save him. Rey was infallible, always the hero.

Luke beating Vader was fine considering it never once seemed like Vader was actually trying to beat him

I'd argue it's just because people are conditioned to think that special magic powers are passed down genetically, because that is usually the case in fantasy fiction.

I mean that's how basically every other important star wars character is.

They didn't hate Anakin for being strong in the Force though, even though he knew nothing about it. Or Luke.

It also implies the Sith during the Rule of Two were just as strong as every Jedi combined.

Eh, I liked it. Reys character arc up until that point had been searching for a sense of purpose and belonging. Kylo revealing that she was a nobody and that her parents didnt matter was an important capstone, because it reinforced her conviction in herself.

That said, it was one of the only things I liked about the movie. And Im being generous because Rian dropped the ball on character development up until that point and afterwards. The dynamic between Rey and Finn was the most important part of TFA. We needed to see those characters actually reach their moments, rather than those just suddenly being sprung upon them.

Because Rey running from Kylo doesnt make sense. And Finn trying to sacrifice himself doesnt make sense. And the entire backdrop was so stupid and inconsequential that I had a hard time caring about anyone except Kylo.

As Pablo Hidalgo has said numerous times before, a character saying something in a movie doesn't make it canon.

That is literally just Snoke's theory.
