Saw Star Wars and found it disappointing (spoilers)

2. Perhaps, but Rey still never fails like Luke at one point did

Part of the point of a good protagonist is that they aren't perfect. They can fail. Even comic book heroes have vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Watching the character overcome those weaknesses, struggles, and failures over the course of the story is what makes the whole story worth watching. That's basic character development you learn about in a high school writing class.

Like I said, Luke trained and trained and trained to learn how to use the Force. It didn't just come to him. And he got in trouble and needed to be saved and rescued by Obi-Wan more than once.
With Rey, she gets captured and can all of a sudden out of the blue perform Jedi mind tricks (literally) to get out of any situation she's in. She can suddenly call the lightsaber past Kylo Ren and know how to use it.
