Just thought of this , but why is the kid at the end supposed to be significant? We already knew anyone can be born with the force, we already know there were a bunch of force users out there i.e Luke's new academy. So why was this supposed to be significant in anyway?
Well firstly even though everyone has the force, not everyone is force sensitive. Secondly the force is thought of as fake/a dying religion, meaning the number of force users is dwindling. Meaning seeing a new generation of force users be born after such a long period is pretty significant.
Also I don't think him being force sensitive is the important part. The fact that they are slaves telling the story of the resistance is important. Finn and Rose going to that planet and inspiring them was important.
Like the line that is did many times in the movie, we are the spark that will light the fire that will burn the first order to the ground.
That kid represents the beginning of that fire.
