I've never understood the complaint about the Force-sensitive kid at the end of TLJ.

The prequels very-clearly established that the Force is random and anyone could be Force-sensitive. It also established that some Force-sensitives could easily go undetected if they were born on the fringes (of either the Republic or society).

That's the entire basis of the Jedi order. They go around the Galaxy testing infants and any that meet their criteria get taken away to be trained as Jedi. Anakin was 9 years-old in TPM and was considered too old to begin training.

It appears that multi-generational Jedi have stronger Force-sensitivity than first-generation Jedi, which is likely the reason the Jedi have their "no babies" rule.


Even the very foundation on which Luke and Kylo's storyline from the sequel trilogy has the idea of random Force-sensitivity at its base. Luke went out and found Force-sensitives to train in his efforts to re-establish the Jedi order.

If the full Jedi order was unable to find every Force-sensitive child, there's no way Luke alone could have done so -- and the kid at the end of TLJ would have been born long after Luke gave up looking.
