    You're leaping to conclusions here; I've seen nothing to indicate that someone who isn't born with Rey's starting talent can't eventually be her equal through a longer time spent training (or a particularly gifted teacher.) All they've done here was decouple protagonist-level Force sensitivity from bloodline - nothing more and nothing less.

    In fact, we may very well see exactly this scenario happen with Finn, if indeed he has Force potential at all.
