[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7563590, member: 6716779"] No they don't but in that case they kind of need some sort of explanation for their power even if its something like "Jedi Knight/Master" because Rey as written has been presented more powerful than the chosen one and his son. SHe is using force powers untrained, compare her to Luke in the OT. Say if Rey lost at the end of TFA, Starkiller base still went boom, she gets training from Luke in TLJ very slight change, doesn't really change the overall plot much, make Kylo a more effective bad guy and then she goes and pwns him in IX. Better story arc than if she goes and pwns him in IX now right? Unless they pull something clever we basically already know how its going to end. If her family didn't matter they could also tie her to Kylo better like if they trained togather at Lukes academy. As written she has rushed off to try and reddem someone she barely knows while Luke at least played on the fact Vader was his father. And he could "sense the good in him". Sure Kylo has flip flopped a few times but redeeming a darksider you barely know isn't that great of a story as why would the darksider be willing to redeem. Sure Vader didn't know Luke that much either but they still had the family thing and Vader could think about things like "would Padme want me to kill our son". Sure we didn't know about Padme in the originals but they still played up that family connection. So there is a lot less of dramtic tension and there is literally know sense in what Rey is doing, why she is doing it and why should we care when her character has had virtually no character development relative to Luke in the 1st 2 OT movies.
