yes, of course there were plenty of other force-sensitive beings in the galaxy, but we also know that the empire engaged in a systematic genocide. as far as we know from the films, there were only a handful of people who were strong in the force left, and most of them had died. seeing Rey, Finn, the little boy with the broom fulfilled the idea of the Force "awakening" a new generation of potential Jedi.
the idea that a great Force-user could only come from a family dynasty is insulting and indeed counter to what was presented in the prequels and TCW, and counter to hundreds of years of Jedi practice before the collapse of the Republic. (and I say this as a Korkie-is-a-Kenobi truther.)
we can agree that the lack of a coherent plan for the sequel trilogy was a failure, but we'll have to disagree on the quality of the ideas presented in TLJ.
