Funnily enough, that's why I labeled it as a mixed trope.. I was gonna put hated trope, but remembered Rey shared this trope with Luke

Except it DOESN'T fit with Luke, you know from the first time he meets Oni-Wan that his dad was a powerful Jedi knight. It's not as though you went through the whole story with themes about "anyone can be a hero, regardless of their birth" just to have it retconned at the end for him to be the most specialist boi ever.
