No, but is it too much to ask to have the main protagonist to have the foundations of her character setup?

As I stated previously, no one really knows why she's so powerful, why she can easily do jedi things, why she can take on all the most powerful figures of the past and present universe. She just does. Because the force is everywhere. I guess. They forgot the journey part of the hero's journey.

When you have to turn your mind off or make up your own story after the fact to build in the fundamentals, its not a good story, period.
