I never got the impression from either Yoda or Obi-wan that Luke was advancing faster than they expected. Rather the opposite at some points, in fact.Exactly. His advancement in the Force was more to do with his personal growth than any formal training he received.Is that timing established in new canon? There certainly weren't ever dates on screen in the movies.Yes. Luke is different from Rey. He took a different journey, and faced different problems. Why are you so uncomfortable with Rey having anything other than a cookie-cutter duplicate of Luke's story?In TLJ, Rey senses the whole island and is immediately drawn to its Dark Side nexus. In her search for answers she is drawn to go there physically. The trial she undertakes is different than Luke's in ESB, but it's similarly a journey of self-discovery that feels like a defeat for her, leaving her without the answers she was looking for.Luke is dead, but he's also a Jedi Master. Chances are that he's not actually gone.</blockquote>
