All of that fits in beautifully with Daoist notions of humility -- did you do a good job? No? why do you think you're special? Thinking you're special makes doing a good job much more difficult, and you obviously need something less difficult, you've failed already...

My take on Rey is that the Force went, well. This Skywalker thing was an abject disaster. Time to try again. I wonder if I can turn "has a lick of sense" up somehow?

Rey acknowledging they're nobody really bothered a fair number of people; I think _in the context of Daoist humility_, that thing essential for right action because you're not trying to do what makes you happy, you're trying to identify the correct thing to do, recognizing that you're nobody is the beginning of enlightenment.
