I almost think that the biggest screw up of the OT and PT was the whole concept of the balance of the force.

If you look at Lore, there were thousands of Jedi Knights and thousands of Sith.

And then Darth Bane came up with the theory that Jedi would be inherently weak because they shared the force among thousands of them, whereas the Sith would be stronger with only two Sith coveting the power of the Dark Side of the Force.

The Sith contend that the more users of the Force the more diluted it becomes until you have people that are unworthy of the Force and what it can do using it and weakening it.

In the Clone Wars they defined the balance of the Force with the family. The Son who was pure darkside, the Daughter pure light side and the Father who kept the two fighting sibling contained. When Anakin came along the father felt that Anakin was meant to take his place to maintain the balance between the son and Duaghter.

then The Sith struck and murdered pretty much all of the Jedi, in original Lore there were two jedi Luke and Yoda, and two Sith Vader and Palpatine. In a sense a balance between Darkness and Light, Two powerful users on each side, but the reason why the Dark Side was ruling was because Palpatine was beyond just the force, he was a master tactician who had cast a corrupt Jedi Order out of Power.

When Vader wiped out Palpatine and himself and Yoda died leaving one Luke, in a sense it was only a balance from a Jedi perspective as they believed that the Light Side was better and more compassionate then the Dark Side.

But what we really found out was that it wasn't balance and that the Force basically bought forth more dark side users in Snoke and Ren.

to maybe balance off with rey and Luke and Leia who wasn't really using the Force all that much.

I think at some point we're going to get the revelation that the Force itself isn't Dark or Light itself, but its the person who's using it that corrupts the Force and maybe the only way that there can be balance is if there is a person who is capable of great compassion and at the same time is willing to enforce the will of the force ruthlessly, and maybe that's Rey
