I'm still agog that Disney took the message of The Last Jedi (You don't need to be special to be a hero, you just need to try) out back with a shotgun so that they could make "No, actually everyone is related and only the Skywalkers matter, super wacky no-way school style"
From a purely cynical standpoint, you want kids to feel engrossed in the universe because they'll be new fans and get their parents to buy them shit
From an idealistic standpoint, imagine being a kid and being told "Haha, get fucked, you're not special, you can't be a hero, here's a stormtroopers costume, it's $69.99", tell me you wouldn't be crushed
Yup they almost did something by showing that random kid force pulling a broom then quickly retconned it back to basically working the same way kings are appointed.
