It's like watching a preview for next week's episode of Mad Men, which were completely and totally worthless because of the lack of context behind the words.

The fact that you know it's misdirection makes the spoilers even worse
Now you go into the movie knowing that at some point, Rey convinces Kylo that she wants to join, then goes to Snoke with the idea that she'll kill him. All the build up to that that they put in the movie doesn't matter because you're already prepared for what's coming. That and now you know Kylo will be put in the same position as when he killed Han except with Leia and whether he's the one who kills her or not, she likely dies in that space battle. Huge spoilers about the plot.

So why would Rey be when she's essentially just a watered down version? I mean I guess we don't know exactly what her origin is; perhaps her family tree has an even more impressive boost in there somewhere, but I'm not sure how much more impressive you can get that essentially being godlike as Anakin was.

Yeah it's pretty silly but this is what you get when other writers take over and are tasked with keeping it going. "Realistically," Vader was the most powerful of all time.. or so we're told (not sure how Ben Kenobi goes neck and neck with him but.. again that's Hollywood). In the movies we don't get the impression that Luke is any stronger than Vader, nor does he even show the potential to be. Just a regular old Jedi in a time where there aren't any others, so with that in mind, it doesn't really make sense that his or Leia's children would be uber mega force users, but that's what we're being fed.
