It's too late to get their head on straight... it's not too late to develop a lot of power.If Luke cant be "that guy" because he started training so late, how do we explain Rey?.
The reservation to starting training older people is that as they grow... & develop... & even grow old... their psychology might not be able to handle the power if their mental training got started too late for them to negate their inner demons.
They even thought Ani was too old. So yeah... Rey's got a hell of a time ahead of her having not been through a proper training since infancy... but that doesn't mean she can't amass great power now. In fact part of the issue is that they could flip dark & go on a power trip once they get that power if they don't have a proper psychological background.
Luke rocked up & did some great things & had some outstanding moments... so did Rey. If one did something better than the other... then whatever... not everyone has the same abilities at the same capacity.
Keep in mind too that Luke was living a domestic life of leisure mixed in with his humdrum life of going to school & working a bit around the house... while wining about doing simple chores. Rey was fighting for her life every day & had a ferocious animal instinct that young Luke & Kylo know nothing about. What do you think the force responds to? it is raw will. You can imagine what not knowing if you're going to live from one day to the next can do for your raw will. It's no wonder the force was like a hurricane flowing through her. She is ferocious. Kylo called her a monster because of it & was shook as fook while noticing it.
Just have Rey learn some skills instead of suddenly having them because girls are awesome.
It kind of seems like you're trolling... cause I've explained this a lot... but in case you're not & you really want to know how Rey's HARD WON ABILITIES CAME FROM HARD WORK & BEING ENDOWED WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF THE FORCE... you can find those answers here:Rey has learned about the force about 72 hours before picking up a lightsaber and annihilating a group of praetorian guards. Beating up a couple thugs in the desert inst enough. She also appears to be Rens equal in pretty much everything, he even needs her help in that throne room fight.

Kylo had been training for 6 years before TFA. approximately 4 years under Luke... & 2 years under Snoke. Snoke is not exactly a physical being.... his thing was more mental manipulation & force projection & stuff... & so I'm not sure how much lightsaber training Kylo might had gotten under him.So even though hes been training presumably since he could walk under both Skywalker and Snoke, Rey has apparently caught up to him in a couple of days.
By contrast... Rey had been fighting for her life with a vicious will to survive on Jakku during the time & was so well known as an elite staff fighter that the thugs on jakku didn't f*ck with her. In TFA... she took out 2 of Plutt's thugs & life time soldier & best of his class Finn with her staff. All the while that silver spoon upper middle class playboy Kylo had been half assing his training. Not to mention that Kylo was not trying to beat her. He was trying to recruit her. Plus he was using a tremendous amount of the force to keep his guts from falling out & killing him... plus he was mentally f*cked from just killing his dad.
Nothing that is not canon is real. There is no training info about Luke in Canon that isn't in the movies that I'm aware of. my point though... is that even if Luke had the best master for those entire 4 years in between each movie... (which he likely did not) he would still be no where near a Jedi master. Not even close.And since we include expanded universe, Luke received a great deal of training directly from Obi Wan after Episode 4.
Ani did it since he was a kid & was a knight through the whole Clone wars & still was not granted the title of master because of his mental blocks. Same thing with Luke. No way he was ever a Jedi master. Jedi Knight at best.
