Calm down. It's just a hunch that she may have similar or superior potential, based on her own feats and that statement of Trevorrow, which suggests her importance is linked to her heritage and force potential, unlike Kenobi.
And by the time she gets to her full potential, Luke will probably be a Force Ghost anyway, so she'll never be "shitting on Luke."
Oh she doesn't Need to be, but if they're both (Ren and Rey) Skywalkers, then I don't see why they couldn't eventually become Luke level. Unless it's a case of their non force parent is diluting the Skywalker potential in them.
For that matter we don't even know how powerful Luke is yet, but the reasonable assumption would be > Yoda/Sidious.

Yeah I suppose it's ultimately irrelevant to the plot given the chances are Luke won't be around by the end of this trilogy anyway. So she could be the most powerful force user in the Galaxy without being as powerful as Prime Luke, Prime Yoda or Prime Palpatine.
Well it's more the fact that the title is just unnecessary, Anakin wasn't the most powerful Force user in the PT, and Luke wasn't the most powerful Force user in the OT. Because as the protagonists they by definition must be challenged, if Rey becomes Luke-tier that isn't going to be possible.
She might reach that level, but the moment she does the moment she stops being the protag imo. We certainly won't see it in this trilogy.

I think Rey might end up being the most powerful force user in the entire mythos tbh (minus the Ones).I'm not sure if she'll gain that kind of power over 1 trilogy though (remember the next trilogy will probably come shortly after this one), but it seems to be what she's destined for.
Edit- Damn just noticed this is the Troll's thread.
