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.
The New Jedi Order era was the perfect setup to tell endless stories in the Star Wars universe. Luke is hosting a new academy at the old Yavin 4 base, and you have dozens or hundreds of people coming to Jedi temple, and they're all from different cultures. They're of all ages and races and alien species. Some of them bring their own culture's force tradition with them, while others got scouted by a Jedi that met them while they were doing a regular 9-5.
Infinite variety for galactic adventure right there, it plays into the "you too can be a Jedi" fantasy, and Disney's version of the Star Wars Universe doesn't have it. Low key that's why all of their shows have been prequels, because they left the Star Wars continuity in a really closed state after the last movie. They should either retcon the whole trilogy or do a big time skip to make the Jedi a diverse and interesting organization again, since that's such a huge pillar of the Star Wars universe.
