That the prequels revolve around Anakin Skywalker and the original films revolve around Luke, but TLJ brings forth someone who (within the context of that film, at least) isn't a Skywalker or even anyone particularly noteworthy, as well as the Force-wielding kid at the end of the film. It gets away from the idea that you need to somehow be 'important' to 'merit' having skill with the Force.
As just one example, the existence of one Obi-Wan Kenobi already disproved that idea... 48 years ago. TLJ isn't actually breaking any new ground in that area despite the rhetoric. There were thousands of Jedi running around in the prequel trilogy and a grand total of one of them was a Skywalker. ( Also, there is arguably a case to be made that Rey's rapid advancement is indeed noteworthy regardless of her lineage. )
