The whole Finn (civilian not a minority comment) and chick Jedi thing is to make it seem everyone could be a Jedi. To cheapen and water down something that to me was always some noble breed of warriors. Like samurai. Many of those who make entertainment have never really had to sacrifice in blood, sweat and tears or to lose someone in battle so I doubt they understand how,properly present a Jedi. Or any movie about physical conflict. I include myself In the group I am mocking. I have never served, I could never fully understand. I may be taking it a bit far.
You're not. I have been in front line engagements, and I will back you up and say that you're spot on. The people in Hollywood obviously have no concept of what it actually means to be good at combat. Even being a frontline soldier isn't something everyone can do....let alone something like being a Jedi. Throughout the entire series it's something that has been consistently portrayed as requiring an enormous amount of willpower and discipline to be have use even basic abilities effectively.
