If you mean that the theme of TLJ is "Nothing matters anyway", then I agree.
Based on what we
were discussing, you seem to be equating "Nothing matters anyway " with "the galaxy isn't a small incestuous population where every Force-strong person was begat from a Skywalker."

Also, I don't see how it's much of a stretch to assume that a vision in a movie, as part of a series which deals with the Force, is indeed...wait for it...a Force vision.
Who said it wasn't a Force vision? I don't see a single post claiming that. What people were arguing was that it wasn't some secret clue about her parentage. Do all Force visions tell the viewer who their parents are? Brb, calling Maury...

Well, then. I guess that's that. Thanks for your amazing insight. I'm totally convinced the movie sucks now.
...
With these great insights, I now propose an alternative storyline for a Star Wars movie that ties ALL THE THINGS together. Based on your username, Fettclone1, I'm guessing this will be a home run with you:
STAR WARS Episode VIII (alt): A NEWER HOPE. With the Porg population at critically low levels, the Jedi Council intervenes to start a captive-breeding program*. Much to their despair, the Jedi are unable to successfully hatch Porgs in captivity. The cliff-dwelling creatures have evolved to nest in extremely wet and windy environments, and without help from a powerful Force-sensitive Jedi Master, the program fails (only a Skywalker is strong enough for this task). In the eleventh hour, legendary Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi visits the Resistance crew in the form of a Force ghost. Here he instructs the heroic
rebels resisters to take a small number of the remaining Porgs to the planet Kamino for cloning and rearing to adulthood. Did you know that Kamino is in the same system as Ach-Too? 'cause it is! They're sister planets with identical atmospheres and surface conditions! See, we only saw Kamino that one time when Obi-Wan went to check on something about cloning warriors. I dunno all the deets, it was something he heard from his buddy Duke Dooku. Aaaannnyyyyway, turns out, that one trip was during the rainy season of a
particularly rainy year. Yeah, they always get a lot of rain (which will be important for our current story), but the Kaminoans were dealing with a lot of extra intense weather from an exceptionally strong El Niño year. Long story short, Kamino's weather conditions are really
really similar to those on Ach-Too, and perfect for raising Porgs! I guess I should have put this in another footnote. Oh well, moving on...
Because the Kaminoans perfected their cloning facility during the early days of the ...wait for it... CLONE WARS!, the Porg cloning was a great success. Additionally, the young porglets thrived on the oceanic planet of Kamino and the population grew exponentially. With a new cohort of Porgs numbering more than 200,000, our brave band of Resistance fighters is tasked with transporting the animals back to their home planet of Ach-Too. All the creatures are boarded onto a Hammerhead class ship for departure to their native world†. Just as the final Porg is loaded onto the Resistance craft, a First Order Dreadnought comes out of hyperspace above Kamino.
What will happen to our brave band of Resistance fighters?????
footnotes:
* Because bureaucracies are always organized in really strange ways, the Jedi Council are actually in charge of the Department of Intergalactic Fish and Wildlife. They also oversee the Department of Interstellar Trade, but we're well versed in those details...
† In a strange turn of events, Chewbacca approaches the Kaminoans and requests that a single Porg be separated from the flock to accompany him on the Millennium Falcon. See, it mirrors the events in Attack of the Clones! It's like poetry! Anywho, the Porg turns out to be a somewhat shoddy co-pilot, which we see via the events on Crait, but nonetheless, this odd couple is sure to have some great adventures.
