Yeah. I thought one of the more interesting moves the middle entry made was to suggest that Rey wasn't a super special lost Skywalker (or Kenobi or whatever): she was just some girl from the middle of nowhere who happened to be thrust into greatness. That flies in the face of the "special boy does special things" theme of the series though, so they had to retcon it immediately.
Yeah, which is funny that all the CHUDs were mad about her being the special chosen one special girl, but somehow got even madder about the idea that there is no special chosen one destiny at all.
I guess it makes sense, they want life to hand success to them without effort on their part, so they want their media to reflect that.
