Is Hollywood Using Diversity To Justify Potentially Doomed Franchises?

Luke learned how to fly from using his "Sky Hopper", in the Star Wars universe Sky Hoppers and X-Wings have similar dashboards. That's why he was so confident of being able to fly the Millineum Falcon when he first met Han Solo. It was kind of the same with Anakin doing the "drag racing" in Tatooine, although Anakin couldn't fly a ship properly and pretty much lucked his way out.

Luke could make the shot that took out the Death Star because he was "shooting womp rats" in Tatooine. Yes, the Force helped Luke but he had experience making tough shots already. Luke didn't just pull out powers like the way Rey did, there was background to all the stuff he did. Anakin became a Jedi Master in between Episode 2 and 3 and this was detailed in the first Clone Wars animated series which was cannonical because the series led directly into Episode 3. The Clone Wars tv series was pretty much compulsory watching because some of the events referred to in Episode 3 took place during the series.

George Lucas actually paid attention to a lot of stuff in his movies and was more delibrate with his storytelling than we got in the sequel trilogy. The sequel trilogy treated the force like its a mutant ability which it is NOT. You need to train very hard to able use the force efficiently, just because you might have a high midichlorian count doesn't mean you can just pull out "deux ex machina" abilities. I mean, Rey wrecked Kylo the first time they met..injured or not, a non force user shouldn't be able to do that. It didn't work like that before the sequel trilogy and is part of the reason that Rey got a lot of criticism, she basically "Brock Lesnar'd" her way through the series.
