So I suppose stopping one straightup wouldn't be too far of a stretch.The sad thing is that they could have totally explained this away easily. "With fewer people using the force, the force has grown in power, thus people are able to do more things and thus more people are becoming force sensitive". Or something like that. And BOOM! one line and you got reasons for Finn, for the dude in Rogue One and why people are able to do more powerful things in 7-9 than in previous movies. Is it a perfect solution, no, but I came up with it in like ten seconds. It probably needs a little fleshing out, but that shouldn't be too difficult. Of course some people may not like the explanation, but at least there would be one.Anyway, I still look forward to Star Wars stuff even if episodes 1,2,3,7,8,9 had major ups and downs because I like the setting well enough. They're no longer automatically movie theatre movies anymore, but I'll probably see them all eventually. (And I'm still looking forward to Mandalorian Season 2; even without Ahsoka Tano, should be cool).</blockquote>
