Yeah, but the height of Luke's power in A New Hope is sinking a single destiny shot bomb into the death star, not going into bullet-time with a lightsaber and force-choking Darth Vader to death for 15 minutes.
One is cathartic, the other is cheesy and comes off to me like it's being justified in the studio "writer's meetings" (or whatever it is you want to call the unholy union of corporate bosses, psychologists, and deep cover Mossad propagandists with writers that results in such uniformly SJWified, Jewish plots in every Disney property) with "movies need more stronk woman, we have already programmed audience to believe movies need more stronk woman, so this idiotic deus es machina copout is 100% guaranteed to be beyond audience reproach. 95% rottentomatoes and healthy, free, nonpatriarchal, miscegenous society (for USA and Euro only) here we come!".
