- Rey is the modern poster-girl for a Mary Sue, and here are the reasons why she is one and Luke Skywalker most certainly is not. BTW - may the fork be with you.

Obi Wan: "Anakin, it's obvious that Rey is a Mary Sue!"
Anakin: "But from my point of view she is a strong independent woman!"
Obi Wan: "WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST!"
This is perfect! lol
Anakin- "Don't lecture me Obi-wan, I see past the truths of the Jedi!"
Obi-wan- "Facts don't care about your midiclorians, Annie."
Anakin: “If you shall not join me, then you are my enemy!”

Anakin and Obi Wan: **start battling**
Obi Wan: Its over Anakin!! I have the high ground!!!
My theory is that she's actually playing the Lego Star Wars videogame and had unlocked all the cheat codes before starting the storyline.
Me, at 7 years, playing The Complete Saga and searching the codes on internet
Ahhh General Reposti
Eu, Eu Mesmo, Aquele Cara oo
luke is the one that don't use extras.
but rey is the one that use every extra.
Like how Luke took down the DeathStar only one day after finding out about the Force. Yeaahhh
You guys remember when Snoke literally said she was a marry sue to Kylo?
“You were bested by a girl who had never wielded a lightsaber in her life!”
True that.
I actually hate rian hohnson for that, like wow.
I'm pretty sure the only reason he said that was to reinforce the fact that he's the "bad guy"
@@mentalpatriot636 er. No lol.

When Ahsoka, an actual strong female character who is loved by the fans, faced a trained sith for the first time, she lasted about 2 seconds and only survived because the sith was hoping to get information from her.
Actually, having Rey be the padawan of Ahsoka could've been a great idea, if it were implemented properly.
Screw you. You just reminded me of how good star wars was right before the disney acquisition of it. How dare you bring up good writing and characters 😂
SJWs: y'all just hate Rey cause she's female!
Rest of us: But we love Ahsoka, a strong female character.

@non grata
If people love her only because of her outfit and her attitude, everyone would've loved her from the beginning. But they didn't. When she first showed up, the fanbase was divided, with most people either not caring or hating her.
Whatever your thoughts are on her outfit, she earned the love of the fanbase because of, and you even mentioned it in your comment, *character development*.
Despite her controversial early appearance and her questionable outfit, she became a beloved character because she was written to be a *good* character. Rey never earned any of that because she was written to be a beloved character first without going through the work to get it.
Even Anakin, literaly the chosen one, created by the force itself, lost to dooku on geonosis.
1. he got his hand cut off
2. he had obiwan (who had 30-something years of training) to help him
3. he´s alredy been training for 10 years.
4. both Anakin and Obiwan would have died if Yoda hadn´t saved the day.
5. even with yoda´s help dooku escaped.
Why?
Because Dooku was one of the best lightsaber duelists in the history of the jedi, a match for grandmaster yoda, and simply meeting the chosen one doesn´t turn him into a clumsy padawan overnight.
Dooku learned his lesson three years later, after all!
Yes! Even later when Anakin had gotten stronger, he STILL had to tap into the Dark Side just to be able to go onto the offensive against Dooku
Dooku was Yoda student as well
True. The prequels had some major problems, but they did very well in that.
I agree with pretty much everything being said although I don't think Count Dooku is a match for Yoda as he still had to flee from said encounter and used to force to preoccupie Yoda with saving Obi wan and Anakin.
Someone said that Luke is Mary Sue because "he left in the middle of his training". At least he got through half of it instead of none of it...
Lol did they think he lost his hand on purpose as well?
Yea he was immature and lost the battle, if Rey had done that, she’d kill darth Vader with no problem XD
If Luke were as big a Mary Sue as Rey is he would have pulled the X-Wing straight out of the swamp water on first try and Yoda would have gaped and marveled about how he has nothing else to teach Luke because there's nothing he knows that isn't what Luke already possesses. Luke would then go on his merry way to Bespin and have Vader for breakfast, and Vader would beg Luke to ally with him instead of threatening Luke at swordpoint to join him.
I don't stereotype easily but it's apparent how sequel thumpers are either braindead individuals who value agenda more than good storytelling (which makes them ill-fitted for judging what kind of story is good and what is not--Dunning-Kruger effect is a thing), or naive people who has never come into contact with a single good story.
Yep and they pretending like he didn’t get his hand cut of by Vader when Vader wasn’t even trying
庫倫亞利克 and not to mention during the final battle against palpatine it was not actually Luke that defeated him. It was Vader who was still much stronger then Luke. If it was Rey, Vader would have already died at the Death Star, and would defeat (original) palpatine in a few seconds.
My favorite mary sue moment is when shes swimming in the second movie. They made it a point in the first movie to have Rey remark about how green the planet they visit is. That would signify that she has grown up her entire life in a desert, never seeing a forest or large bodies of water. Then when she takes a swim, I'm thinking when did she learn to swim?
Tessier act you see, yes
Don't forget EXPERTLY piloting that watercraft, ON THE VERY FIRST TRY, even though the seas were so violent that even the hyper-experienced natives said they would have to wait until better conditions prevailed.

"You're just intimidated by a strong female protagonist."
I'm pretty sure that most of the people who despise Rey absolutely love Leia and Ashoka.
I also find it funny, how those people always forget that there were Charakteres like Ripley, TRUE strong protagonists.
I'm not trying to start anything, but it's because Leia and Ahsoka had good character arcs and development that made us root for them and love them. They failed a lot and were knocked down a lot, having tons of crap thrown their way and losing many friends and loved ones, but they were able to eventually rise above all of that and fight back, and win. It's a reality in life that we never succeed in life on the first attempt. Sometimes you have to fail in order to eventually succeed, and that's why we love Ahsoka and Leia. Because they failed a number of times, but eventually succeeded in the end, whereas Rey was someone who always succeeded on the first attempt. I get in movies there has to be suspension of disbelief, but you also need to have realism as well.
I ADORE LEIA AND ASHOKA! And I don’t like Rey! And I’m a a woman myself so the sexist excuse doesn’t apply to me😎

Ah yes, logic
Yeah I feel really bad for chewie
thats what happens when you hire writers that haven't watched any of the movies
Yep. Shoulda let the Wookiee win
It's that sort of thing that lead people to belive that Rey was going to be a Solo or Skywalker by birth-- because then maybe Leia recognized her, and then hugging her makes sense. But the storyline didn't go that way.
And remember kids,to don't talk shit about the actors they don't write the movie,just play the character

Even Anakin, the chosen one needed training to become powerful Jedi.
"B-But Rey is Palpatine's daughter!"
So was Luke (son of Anakin), and he needed training to know how to use the force.
@TheNuclearZomber
Palpatine himself mastered all forms of lightsaber combat and had to train for YEARS before killing his master to become the most powerful sith.

Long story short: Finn should have been the main character
It might have been really interesting to have Finn as a deuteragonist like Zuko in AtLA. Have his own hero's journey to learn how to use his skills in the right way and square the circle between a soldier's duty and a thinking being's morality. Then it all comes together in Episode IX - The Duel of the Fates with Rey confronting the dark side of the Force and Finn leading the Resistance uprising on Coruscant, confronting the dark side of being a soldier (obedience without conscience).

@To Serve And Correct look, I get it that you like rey , but she's still a Mary sue not matter what
@To Serve And Correct
Nope, this was already covered, by Literature Devil himself.
Some writers attempt to try and hide the fact that their character is a Mary Sue character, by either giving them fake flaws, or a fake struggle.
Rey falls into that category.
@@007Thanos007 yep, agree, I wonder why is he even in a lot of comments defending rey, like he can do whatever he want, but still
"She's so good in the force because she's a Palpatine..."

@@joshtoncray9882 I had argument that Re is also good at lightsabers as she was melee fighter b4 SW. Yep, but you know, it isn't like "armed melee" is oe skill you ca exp on any weapon and you will master all. Actually you may be specialized in one type of knife and suck at others (see: kukri vs. push-dagger vs. kerambit vs. dagger*). Staff and lightsaber need completely different stance and fighting style as blocking, attacks etc. are not even slightly same. Darth Maul's lightstaff would be more easy for Rey if she understood that it isn't blunt weapon anymore, but one-handed lightsaber? Not.
Anakin was the son of the literal enbodiment of the force and yet needed training
A good rebuttal to that if they aren't so far up their ass is Anakin Himself. He didn't immediately become so powerful just because a character said so he had training, a journey.
Remember guys.
Don't hate the actors, hate the characters.
Ikr, the actors are just given a script and i believe the actors did the best they couldve done with what they had. Hate the writers...
@@kashyap72 Normally I agree, but daisy literally said in an interview that her character doesn't really have flaws and it's not for people to say.
@@m2cscream Of course she's gonna say that, you have to understand that Daisy was working as a bartender before these movies, Being casted as Rey gave her the big break and opportunity she always wanted and it's not fair for you to think that Daisy is gonna blast the role that made her career and changed her life.
@@user-qk3nq6cg7r Giving criticism isn't blasting something, even if it's the character you're playing. Either Disney paid her to not shit talk Rey (because, let's be honest, that's likely) or she just legitimately doesn't understand how character writing works.
Though either way, I don't really have qualms with the actor, I just ... Don't think she's a good actor .. Either that or she got poor direction
@@StardustCorvid Here's the thing, how many actors/actresses have critiqued the characters they were playing, especially the ones that made their career, If Daisy called Rey a Mary Sue, that would cause huge controversy for Disney directors and producers, so it makes sense that she wouldn't say that, Disney isn't exactly known for tolerance of certain opinions they don't agree with if it affects their income.

Probably. He is Rey in a lot of ways, but with a more interesting backstory and actually has a stake in this new trilogy's plot due to the fact that he lived with and trained with all the people he's in direct conflict with.
i thought they might have been able to salvage the series with the 2nd Rey movie, only if she had accepted kylo rens offer to join him, that could have been a great twist and set us up for potentially Grey Knights who embrace both light and dark side. instead she declined his offer and were stuck with this garbage....

And Leia was already a badass by any metric. Even when Luke first gets into her cell, she thinks he is just a stormtrooper, and goes off, insulting him.

@@botondhetyey159 not to mention she took control of her own rescue
Rey's first fight: defeated Kylo despite never wielding a lightsaber in her life, and never trained

Vader was just toying with Luke or trying to slowly push him to his limit to see how skilled he it for atleast half the battle

Assuming a badass Jedihunter who killed many jedi and even some masters is comparible to someone who doesn't have that much of a portfolio when it comes to other force users.....
Kylo got shot by a fucking bowcaster but still rey should not have won
In force awakens
Rey’s gender directly impacts her negatively as a character. Here’s why:
Luke was constantly under threat of physical harm and death, and he gets his ass whipped consistently throughout the OT. You feared for him, and related to him, because the movies showed you clearly that the Force didn’t make him a deity. Dude got his hand chopped off, FFS.
Rey is never really going to be physically harmed because she is a girl. Disney is NOT going to release a movie where the female lead is maimed and beaten like Luke was.
Kylo never punches her right in the face, never draws blood, never Force chokes her, never physically hurts her. He uses the Force to restrain her in TFA, but she is never assaulted and never suffers lasting wounds the way Kylo does with the scar on his face. He is never fighting her at full strength with absolute intent to KILL her. Hell, he’s flirting with her throughout TLJ. Imagine the uproar had it been Rey who had her back carved up by the lightsaber instead of Finn. Imagine them trying to redeem Kylo after he beats the shit out of a girl. No way. Kill Han? Whatever. Hit a girl? He’s irredeemable.
If she’s never in any real danger, I can’t fear for her.
Hate to say it but you’re right... it’s just another princess movie from Disney.
Should’ve battered her around. I mean they still caused harm to Leia. Only it was an emotional pain and humiliation. The destruction of her home planet and being forced to wear a skimpy slave outfit and leered at. They could’ve easily caused harm to Rey without physical harm such as leering and perverse actions of the fat guy. It would act as a damage to her pride by making her feel humiliated. Which could create a self-confidence issue. Instead we get an impulsive, aggressive and arrogant character that you can’t really root for because she complains about everything and has no patience.
@@holdencross5904 Leia was also tortured (or "mind probed" at least) on the death star, it was just off screen. But it was referenced.
@@admthrawnuru and had her planet blown up before her. Lost her husband and child. Her friends and so on
The whole sequel trilogy I never feared for her life... i feared for Kylo’s life coz you know, Rey, she’s just awesome, she’s invincible. 😂
Can we just consider the Disney movies as fan fiction?
Yeah. Especially after the 9th movies ending XD
Cha Boi yes pleaee
Jar Jar Binks can’t tell if I’m getting wooshed

I never understood the argument that Rey could fix the Falcon because she's a scavenger - you don't take your car to a junkyard for repairs, do you?
Yeah and should Han not now more especially because he upgraded her more than ones
I sort of don't mind that she is good at repairing things.. She has been scavenging space ship parts all her life. But to be better than Chewie, who has flown the ship for decades, no way. But, she's also the best shot, best pilot, best Jedi, best everything.
But I guess that's because she is just awesome.
See, in my experience a guy who runs a junkyard usually *is* a skilled mechanic.
I've had some serious help from four different junk/scrap yard owners in how to keep my vehicle running... as well as being able to find less expensive or alternate parts that can work just as well as the original manufacturer's version
@@teabearchurchill5600 does Rey RUN the junkyard? Or is she the peon employee who rips parts out?
Do you think the average car demo employee could repair a Maserati better than a Maserati mechanic who built his own car and serviced it himself for decades?
Around here you do, because the junkyard has all the parts for older models -- which is the definition of the "Falcon."
"KyLO waS InJUrED thATS wHY ReY Won!!"
MEANWHILE Darth Vader: *Burns to death and loses 60% of his body, is in constant physical and emotional pain, doesn't even have real hands anymore, uses the raw power of the force to overcome his physical shortcomings*
I thought sith got stronger when they were hurt
@@michaelestrada1972 short answer: They do.
Long answer: Pain and anger fuel the dark side and those raw emotions make them more dangerous, if they know how to use it. Mauls fighting prowess is fueled by rage. Vader's power by pain and self loathing.
Kylo...teen angst, I guess. Hes got a "nobody loves" complex.
i used this argument and they came back with "rey didn't win because she ran away for part of the fight" you really can't argue with stupid
You mean the same Darth Vader that was bested by Luke in Episode 4 because Han had come in to help Luke? That Darth Vader? The best Star Pilot in the galaxy?
Haku infinite that argument would work if Vader was normal. Remember, in episode 1 Vader was attacking hundreds of different droid fighters and came out without a hint of damage to his ship. Han didn’t even immediately attack Vader, he attacked the guy next to Vader, which would give him enough time to react. Also, Vader could have sensed Han through the force. Also also, I haven’t even brought up some of Anakin’s feats in the clone wars. I could keep going, but I don’t have all day.
to be honest kylo feels more like the main character of the story
1. he follows the whole "skywalker saga" thing
2. he has flaws
3. he has an arc, even if its a redemption arc
and he had actual fucking training
@@g-rant5833 and still loses...
Kylo and Finn would have been excellent protagonistic foils: The storm trooper born into evil who turned good, and the man born to the purest Jedis turned Sith
@@sollyswolly1623 Disney had other plans 😈
He's ugly tho
People are saying Rey learned how to fight and use the force because of the dyad that was created when kylo interrogated her and she got his knowledge, that just proves she’s a Mary Sue since she magically received the power everyone else took years to master (the plot bending to her) just because she’s “awesome”
also people saying that she knows how to fight with a lightsaber because she used a staff, um no a staff and lightsaber are different. The beam or whatever the lightsaber makes is weightless or at least very light ( not a hardcore star wars fan, just watch the star war videos) while a staff that is intact can weigh a bit and if we were to use a double-bladed lightsaber to give to Rey instead, then she would die from swinging it too hard and if we gave her just a normal lightsaber then she would have to learn how to use the thing and not just brute force it. Also how tf does Rey win against Kylo, yes he was injured but sith become stronger with pain meaning that at least Kylo would give Rey a hard time and probably win.
Justin Nguyen exactly because Sabine wren, a trained mandalorian, couldn’t defeat kanan jarrus
@@JustAguy006 its like a newbie pick a sword and becomes *THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN THAT EVER LIVED* comparing a lightsaber with a staff is stupid heck in medieval times the easiest weapon to learn is a mace it needs no edge alignement just strike with it even if you miss the metal part you still do damage since its body part is usulay enforced wood with metal or actual metal so yes compering swords with staffs is bs to me
If the only explanation you have for why a character does what she does comes from a 3rd act retcon and the introduction of something that exists in the universe only for her... yeah, that just makes her a worse Mary Sue
Like playing chess with a grand-master once and then beat him cause you knew his moves
One thing not mentioned is that Luke's first attack in an x-wing almost resulted in his death. I think it's an important moment for him not to be instantly awesome at piloting a ship that he'd never flown.
but he did have significant experience in flying and shooting a fighter due to him shooting womp rats with a speeder for fun (yes this is canon).
And unlike Rey, he actually had experience piloting before.
@@thomasbaker7754 Of course it's canon, it's mentioned multiple times in that very movie.

He also had R2 with him giving him a bit of a hand too.

Disney ain't gonna mutilate their main character, especially if said character is a girl.
Anakin lost all his limbs in the third movie while luke didn't.
1) *Losing arms is inconsequential, especially when limbs are so easily and quickly replaced throughout the series*
2) *Rey is in no physical danger because she has no opponent.* *Kylo has no intention of **_ever_** hurting her. His only goal in all three movies is to woo her* to his side. In every fight, she is the aggressor. She attacks and he parries her blows all while making his pitch to be together. She insults him and he calmly asks questions. He remains open and curious about her while she struggles to get rid of him. There is no opportunity in this kind of story for cutting off limbs and such.
3) *Rey's struggle is internal and psychological not physical. Therein lies the only threat Kylo poses to her* - that she will be seduced to the darkside, because she doesn't know who she is.
@@politereminder6284 So her struggle is basically like Luke's but done in a cringer and ass backwards fashion. There's no point for her fear of falling to the dark side as she always taps into the dark side, yet comes out of it no different. It's literally a pointless endeavor.

I once saw someone say that the Mary Sues are at their core liars. That is Rey's big problem. She is introduced into the story as a downtrodden nobody, naive and good-hearted but inexperienced in war and in the force. By all Star Wars logic and common sense, she should end up in big trouble on her quest, she should be in way over her head and should not be able to survive without a lot of help. Being an underdog is often what helps us sympathize with protagonists. But the underdog introduction is one big lie as Rey handles everything with no problem, never being put in a situation that she can't get out of by herself just fine. Even being captured alone on a planet full of stormtroopers and kylo rens doesn't slow her down.
That's the difference to characters like Dream and Superman. Their stories do not lie about who they are. We know that they are experienced, powerful, confident and all around pretty great. But the stories are aware of that fact, so they make us sympathize with the characters in other ways, by having them face big moral choices, or exploring the burden of their tremendous responsibilities or by finding their vulnerable points.
I remember reading a manga (or a light novel, can't say) a while ago, when I wasn't aware of any of that bs and thought it was useless, but now I regret not remembering its name.
It explored the idea of the Mary Sue by presenting her as a goddess pretending to be humans, and using her supernatural powers to force people to like her and/or have an unexplainable obsession towards her. She was using her powers to force people with already established skills and relationships to throw everything in her favor and ostracized those who didn't fall for it.
Anyone who was disagreeing with her or antagonized her in any way was castigated by the other characters and was seen as mean, stupid and jealous.
Old, wise, skilled, experimented characters (the setting was that she introduced later in an already established story) were all bested by her and couldn't stop showering her in praise, to the point that she even imparted lessons to them, regardless of what happened before her arrival.
And the most meta part: whenever any character questioned how comes she is that capable of everything or even asked about concrete elements of her story, life and experience, she would violently recoil and dismiss the interrogation...
@Haku infinite That is a great point, in superman's world there are different rules but he is just as prone to making mistakes as we are and with huge stakes.
@@silvergrove8517 is it the world of otome games is tough for mobs? Or falling in love with the villainess?
Mary sues are liars at their core.
I'll remember that.
very good point. if the story (and by extension the author) were simply self aware that the character is a mary sue it would already change things drastically and make the character NOT a mary sue. if rey were introduced as a perfect character that can do anything and the other characters actually treated her as such ,
THIS would make a more better and honest scenario because we could create a different kind of conflict where the other characters could lump all the work and expectations on rey because they think they can depend on her for everything which can create problems like, like crushing rey with too much work and expectations , or making Rey not know how to work well with others or not being able to trust others because she's used to doing everything alone and used to the idea that she's just better at things than everyone else.
hence making her too hard headed and unable to work well in teams.
This story premise alone would already make rey NOT a mary sue because there's actually real struggle but its more internal.
Finn would've been a more compelling story. A force-sensitive stormtrooper who disliked war and death, so he turned to the Jedi Order.
A cow Luke milked too. Both. A cow and Finn, a great duo.

Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories.
She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess.
Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side.
Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it.
Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars.
Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history.
Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

Stopping that blaster bolt was such a great effect. It instantly established him as bad ass.

Dan Porteous this is so underrated lol
@IAN HEINE I'm actually really confused they didn't give her a double bladed lightsaber. Pretty much all her Jakku skills are rather quickly dropped after being introduced to them, which makes them feel even more 'plot based'.
Her being a scavenger doesn't come of use in the other movies. Her ability to pilot is only used early on and beyond a random mentioned in RoS to imply Rey is a better pilot than Poe (the pilot character wtf) might as well not exist. Her actual fighting experience with a staff is quickly dropped. She's even shown to be competent at swimming and with boats despite being from a desert planet.
Pretty much the moment when Kylo tries to read her mind, her entire skillset seems to change to "i'm a jedi" and her previous character is gone.
Luke's other skills took a backseat once he got to Yoda in empire, but until then were shown to be a continued asset, and is even how he scored the 'win' in the first movie.
@IAN HEINE or something different like a light pike would work good too.

@@gyro6202 even the villains love Rey
This shouldn't even be a discussion. Luke rarely has any victories when it comes to combat. Sure he blew up the DeathStar, helped take down an ATAT and defeated Vader in ROTJ. But those victories came through a lot personal growth and failure. The idea that Luke of all people needed to learn that failure was a good teacher is ridiculous. Overcoming failure is the story of Luke Skywalker's life. Rey on the other hand never failed a day in her life.
@Yo Mero Exactly bro
The point that saves Luke is that he wasnt the chosen one of the original trilogy, he was the chosen one of the sequel trilogy.
She mirrors the people who like her, people who never struggled in anything in life...
The people around her fail att everything, constantly. They all lose, throughout all the new movies. In a groupthink kind of way, having Rey be a part of all of these losers, she is also a failure.
This is a major stretch, but I feel like this kind of thinking is how the writers think.
Not to mention that said loses were either minor or was through the assistance of others. Luke was hit during the attack of the first Death Star, albeit not seriously damaged. He would however have been shot down if it wasn't for this other squad mates. He wouldn't even have gotten close to the Death Star had it not been for the other pilots that gave their life. In that sense it creates the feeling of "It could've been anyone" who did the deed of blowing the space station up.
Its also not entirely made clear if Vader lost on purpose or not, as he quite literately got up after his defeat like it was nothing. Even he didn't lose on purpose he did try to avoid killing Luke, which is already a handicap and Luke did train for some time in order to overcome his father. Ironically, you could argue this with the Kylo vs Rey fight as well, that Kylo didn't aim to kill Rey, therefore she had a handicap. Issue there is that Rey had no formal training to begin with. Meaning Kylo should've been able to toy with her as Vader did with Luke on Cloud City.
So, what you're saying is that you have the [intellectual] high ground.

frankling richards has entered the chat… talant you say?
Because Anakin actually:
1. Failed few times
2. Won race as kid AS HE HAD ILLEGAL HELP
3. Piloted ship like an ace WITH DROID'S SUPPORT
4. Had to train in fighting
Rey is pro at everything and won duel with very experienced fighter despite having literally no training in lightsabers. She was staff fighter. Fighting in staff is completely different sill than with sword. One is one-handed slashing/piercing weapon and other is 2-handed blunt weapon.
Also that's a lightsaber, nearly a completely different skillset than a sword even, not to mention a basic staff. She also had never connected with that lightsaber whereas Kylo had, so Kylo should have won.
If she stayed with staff as her main pain-dealing item her victory in said duel would be more plausible.
Irl hevy staff jas big advantage over single sword in both reach and impact force + it has more ways to attack/defend with it.
But no she had to have murder-flashlight for some reason and beat master of this weapon in 1v1 becouse yes...
@@michagruzewski5592 Ideal for her would be lightstaff or maybe lightsaber pike as both are more or less bladed variants of her trained weapon. For normal lightsaber she would require looooots of training to match any trained Jedi/Sith. And she was fighting let us see... Guy who managed to whip out whole bunch of Jedi and Darth Sidious, one of best dueler since Anakin was born. Sidous:
1. Matched Mace Windu
2. Matched Yoda
3. Won with Darth Maul and Savage same time, despite fact Darth Maul was good enough to kill Qui Gon...
he's at least equally skilled as Jedi Masters at their best times and he lost against girl who grabbed fancy weapon stood in stance suggesting she was never in combat and slowly moved weapon from side to side few times as whole combat training. That's why fans hate political correctness and female heroines. It's not like we hate strong woman. I like MOST female characters I know. But they are written same like male ones. They have strong and weak points, they have character development... Rey is SJW-made character which means she is just like pseudo-feminist wet dream. She's good at everything and no filthy man had to teach her as she is good at everything due to being awesome as women are awesome. Damn, even prodigies aren't written like that. Saitama has better explanation to his superpowers.
@@Petaurista13 damn that wos a long paragraph for a TH-cam comment.
Most of what you speak of i can confirm true all tho i personaly wouldn't gave Rey ANY lightsaber-like weapon. She fought with hevy blunt weapon as her primary self defence tool. Hevy two handed weapons are to some extent unaprecheated and underestimatet. Reach and heft of quaterstaff alow its user to simply overpower sword users. As long as staff Rey is using would be made of material uncuttable by lightsaber Kylo would have to either dodge every blow or defend himself with force powers alone becouse momentum behind (for example) overhead blow would definitely break gard of any sword user (especially lightsaber user) due to said sword's low weight and becouse of it relatively low stopping power.
Lightsaber suffers even more as it lacks metal blade that would add mass.
Concludeing if Rey attacked with her staff and Kylo just put his lightsaber in the staff's way he would propably end up with his own weapon several inches deep in his head.
And pls don't compare Rey to Saitama. One Punch Man is comedy show and it clearly shows on how bizzare rules it's world operates. (NiBBa turned into a monster becouse he stuffed his ass with too much crab meat) The several layers of irony under wich OPM story is hidden only add salt to the injury when you finaly reach the conclusion that Sequel trilogy dont even deserve to be compared with OPM.
For example Saitama is THE MIGHTIEST BEING IN THE UNIVERSE but that doesn't mean he is loved by everyone. He is instantly accused of cheating on preformance tests he is unrecognisable for most people and he lives on the edge of the poverty line for nearly entire season one. He has more character flaws than Entire main cast of Sequel trilogy has character traits.
Please don't compare OPM to Sequel Trilogy.
Don't insult good anime.

@@razkable I don't know about that. He is Goku's son, and Goku has a natural growth in power along with the shit ton of training he does, so he still has that going for him.
As I've been saying for several years, the fundamental problem with the trilogy is that Luke should have been her mentor in 7, as intended in the Lucas treatment, but they kept Luke out so he didn't overshadow the new characters, and wanted Harrison Ford in the movie, knowing he would only agree if Han got killed off.
So the biggest fails come from commercial decisions not story ones.
Of course, I got called a racist, misogynist man baby for pointing this out, and was told the Rey is exactly like Luke
just wanted to add anakin to the list of "not a mary sue"
I have heard people say Anakin is a mary sue, because "he's the chosen one". Which sure, he is the chosen one, but he...
-Fails to save his mother
-Slaughters Sandpeople (Women and children included)
-Falls to the dark side and becomes Vader
-Wipes out the Jedi Temple
-Shares blame on the death of his wife (the one thing which he wanted to protect at all cost)
-gets defeated and left to die by Kenobi
-Only survives because Sidious came in time to put him on life-support forever essentially.
His whole "bringing balance to the force" deal was actually a bout bringing ACTUAL balance by slaughtering enough jedis so that their numbers would match the ones of the siths. Like, his whole destiny was to commit to genocide, with half of the victims being kids
Even as Vader he still f*cks up on occasion. In one comic, Palpy literally 'grounded' him on a planet because he failed a mission.
The thing is: Being a Chosen One isn't a indicator to a Mary Sue, its the call to the Hero's Journey. Learning that you, an average kid/slave/farmboy/whatever have a prophecy or destiny to do something grand is either going to jumpstart your journey with you setting out, or lead to the Refusal of the Call.
In short, if Anakin was a Gary/Marty Sue, he wouldn't have turned into Vader.
If anything, I thought Anakin was almost too anti-Sueish. They could’ve shown him being a bit more badass and competent at times without going into full on Sue territory. I guess it’s just hard to strike that balance.
Luke: "WTF??? Why did you burn all those sacred jedi books???"
Joda: "The knowledge of these books, Rey already posses"
Luke: "Of course!"

I mean she stole the books before that happened
I am bothered by the fact that there are jedi books, like at what point in Star Wars, before the force awakens, is paper actually used.

me too. i avoided EVERY spoiler and in the end i was warded staying strong with this kick in the nuts bs
One simple answer: Lucas wanted to tell an interesting, fascinating story. Disney wanted Money as quick as possible after buying Lucasfilm. The first Movie needed more than 5 years develop, then there were gaps of three years between. Same with the prequels.
Disney wanted to have three years after buying Lucasfilm a new star wars movie every year. And Michael Arndt, a very good writer indeed, got fired because he needed too long to write a good story. But a fascinating story needs time to be developed. But that's not at all what the producers were after.
Wanting money makes movies plot writing bad
Money and to show Blacks and women being main, awesome characters. But you know... awesome characters have flaws. Damn, Hellsing's Alucard had some flaws despite fact he was so OP that whole last part of anime was England trying to hold log enough for him to come than he flooded like all opponents but "bosses". Plus Alucard was powerful medieval (at least) vampire with ages of military experience.
Rey is like characters in _Far Cr_y games. "Ok, I'm American young adult on trip with friends. BOOM! I have military-grade experience in any weapon and melee." But you know, in games it's usual and it's for fun reasons as gamer can't play 300 hours just because you would need to see how Dragonborn trained years to be skilled in combat.

@@Petaurista13 Dude Jason Brody from Far Cry 3 was a snivelly little bitch for the first quarter of the game, but even then his abilities were somewhat explained.
HIS skill with weapons and physical capabilities was explained early into the game: His Brother was US Army, PROBABLY some derivative of special forces, because regular army aren't trained how to flip knives or perform takedowns like he did in the first few minutes of the game, and having 2(?) brothers its likely they all went out and did man fantasy activites together(shooting, notably).
Brody is a major adrenaline junky. Willis runs over Brodys file, detailing his mountain climbing in the alps, deep sea diving, HALO jumping, etc.
And hes rich. his family comes from good money, so he likely has had plenty of time to indulge his male fantasies and hasn't had to seriously work a day in his life. Which not only explains his physical abilities, but his Snivelly "Holy Shit!" attitude for the first quarter of the game.

Emo vader ftw
Nah, the FO is made of morons but the Resistance is downright evil (voluntary force Rose kills you if you try to leave. Blindly follow all orders etc.) so it's only natural to root for them.
I dont really buy the reason for the resistance to begin with. So the galactic empire was dismantled and the new republic is now the supreme power, yet in their infancy and beset with bureaucracy they arent able to defend themselves from the big scary First Order. Enough so that Princess Leia (who would be a major influential power for her role in defeating the Empire) would have to create a fringe rebel militia to fight on their behalf? Why on earth did the former rebel alliance, who are only a generation removed from their victory so pathetic militarily that they couldnt handle an upstart threat? There needed to be more backstory on how all of the political landscape happened. As it stands to me, the story as its explained gives a weak justification of rehashing the resistance being the plucky underdogs the Rebel Alliance were.
@@joeldykman7591 ikr? The whole story would have been better from Kylo's point of view leading a small but powerful group trying to take over the new Republic. That's what would actually make sense.

That might be my biggest issue with how the new trilogy handles the lore. The writers were too scared to do anything other than the same plucky underdog resistance against big scary organised military thing again, even though the New Republic should have been the organised military.
For people who said "Kylo was severely injured, that's why Rey won" Okay, well Vader survived an assassin that was personally trained by Palpatine while basically being a vegetable (back to the condition when he got his limbs chopped off by Obi wan) and not being able to use the force -- or else Palpy would kill Vader himself. Kylo is a Skywalker, it doesn't matter if he was injured or not, any untrained person in lightsaber combat shouldn't be able to beat him. Yeah Rey is a descendant of Palpatine, but nonetheless, she had never been trained in lightsaber combat.

I really don't want to point out the obvious but ummm
A staff is far more different then a damn lightsaber
One is a big 2 handed stick the other is a blade that cuts through almost anything plus the hilt is also quite heavy so its a little difficult to wield while also having to be able to use the blade with the right motion to not mess up your stance
A staff is not the same its very different and you can't use the experience of a staff to help you use a lightsaber or beat Kylo ren who actually had all of the training and knows how to wield it properly
And just because he was wounded doesn't mean he would lose that would actually get him more power because of the dark side and he is fighting an amateur so she shouldn't even be able to touch him even with the wound and if he didn't want to kill her he could of just put her out of commission by using the force or making her unable to fight by cutting her hand off or knock her lightsaber away alot of ways really

The comparison of Rey being a “DM’s girlfriend” is the most incredibly accurate description of how Rey is portrayed in this movie. Holy shit.
I know, right? As soon as I heard that, something clicked... especially when comparing Luke's lightsaber to a Legendary item you just *find* in the back of the VERY FIRST TAVERN. I mean, really... Luke gets a pass because the sword was his father's, and he doesn't use it or know how to use it properly till the end of the second movie... kind of like a character getting a weapons with a stat requirement that needs to be met. Not so with Rey...
What's a DM?
Dungeon Master, it’s a DnD reference (dungeons and dragons). The DM is the guy who created the adventure and guides the players through it
@@thewateringwiz7118 Late reply, but for anyone wondering the significance of this. The DM essentially runs the game, and sometimes said DM will ask, or be asked by, his girlfriend to play. Which sometimes turns into her character becoming the "main character" of the session or even the entire campaign, often to the dismay of everyone else that is playing.
I gotta wonder... was that a reference to darths and droids?

Caseko CSK GOD I want that to be the fight between Kylo and Rey now
Only exception for this are comedies/parodies like MacGruber lol.
I’m telling you man, having Asoka be Rey’s master would’ve been freaking epic. There’s also another element that you didn’t mention that I think would’ve been awesome to watch. Having Asohka mentor and leave her and Jakku and not coming back could’ve given Rey serious abandonment issues. It could’ve given her the bitter angry edge that is the temptation to the Darkside which of course we all want to see from Star Wars movies. So when she has the chance to leave, she doesn’t want to. When she has the chance to train, she resists. When a wise Jedi master, such as Luke, gives her sound counsel and advice, she’s not inclined to listen to it.
Her lack of skills and her emotional shortcomings would’ve given her all the relatability people needed to warm to her instantly. Rey could have been a truly awesome protagonist for the new trilogy. It still would not have excused Disney dumping all over the legacy characters, but it would’ve solved a massive portion of the movies problem
Just make the movies about Asohka

@@codeck4442 Man I hope that is a thick coat of sarcasm on there because Rey is the WORST character EVER created for cinema.
I remember when Ahsoka first arrived in the star wars universe, she was purposely made to be a bit annoying, a young padawan who hated being treated like a child, bossed around, and being told she wasn't ready(similiar to Luke in some ways as he was held back from what he wanted to do). It didn't help that Anakin was not prepared for her arrival mentally and spent their first mission constantly bickering. Through out the movie(Or three episodes put together) they continue to bicker but they work things out. Ahsoka even fight Ventress for a couple seconds but gets saved by Anakin. Later she takes on three Magna guards, which is the craziest thing she does the whole movie, she doesn't do it cause she wants to, but because she has to and she is on the defensive almost all the time. She got lucky when she fell down a sand dune and briefly was able to escape the trio of droids allowing her to get the drop on them and instantly kill one, then still struggled with the other two. When it was finally over she was exhausted and fell to her knees and was almost too slow to catch up and save her master from Jabba who thought they were trying to kill him and his son.
Later episodes would have her continue to show alot of defiance and over confidence as she learned how war was really like. Her over confidence and not wanting to follow orders made her lose her nearly and entire squad of pilots, and nearly got an entire star cruiser destroyed and Admiral Yularan nearly died. She felt horrible and immediatly began to question if she was good at leading. Eventually Anakin devises a plan to win the battle while letting Ahsoka take over and win the day getting her confidence back.
She also nearly was killed on Felucia when she refused to retreat when she refused to see the whole battle field, she was 'winning' where she was and didn't realize she was about to be surrounded and was punished after being narrowly saved.
She also tried to face off against General grevious, but this was because her clone troopers would have been killed by him had she not stepped in. She was never on the offense once in that fight and briefly escaped him a couple times before finally barely making it to a ventilation duct and escaping for good.
Ohand one directly at Rey, Ahsoka, who had been learning the ways of the force for her entire life learned the mind trick and despite her years and years of learning the force still wasn't able to nail it first try, she sort of succeeded but forgot to make sure her friend could pass too. And it was implied by her padawan friends reaction to knowing this that padawans aren't even suppose to know how to do this, but Anakin is a more unconventional teacher and probably gives her some leeway at times.
Notice a pattern, she is young, confident(overly confident) and flawed, and yet most fans ended up liking her. Outside of maybe the Magna guard fight where she struggled and was exhausted afterwards, there's no real "Mary Sue moments' she isn't 'just awesome' she screws up alot in the early seasons, and she is even punished for it with one of those examples(Which connects her to the plot of the episode but whatever)
The only moment I can think of where she kinda overstepped her 'awesome' rating was the first Malevolence episode where she could seemingly track down where Plo'Koon was through the force, but it's explained she has a childhood connection to him, and possibly implied that Plo might have been reaching out with the force to try and be saved as well.
I think Ahsoka was handled very well, she screwed up she wasn't 'just awesome' at everything she did. Rey is a Mary Sue, and I think that undeniable. She had a bit of a rough start, the fanbase was divided but she earned the respect and admiration of the fanbase through good character development and writing.
Hail this dude, all my jomies love this dude for saying what was on my mind

Go ham dude
Was not expecting to see this in the comments, but damn I needed to see my thoughts about Ashoka validated.
Dang, this is an entire essay of points defending Ahsoka. I’m gonna try to do the same with Rey
And that’s the end of my long explanation as to why Rey isn’t a Mary sue
You know you wrote a bad character when even fanfiction writers writes better characters than yours.
The two fanfiction of both Darth vader reincarnating in child Anakin, or simply time travelling at this time and place, make better stories than the trilogy. Seeing him having to deal with Obi-wan being a absolute padawan moron at this point is fantastic
nah, I've seen some pretty damn good OCs,
get your point though
Sequel Trilogy < Star Wars: Death Troopers
Even porn parodys have more character development... i have heared...
some fanfiction writers can write some awesome stuff tbh
Fans: That's not how the force works...
Disney: I AM THE FORCE!!!
Pretty much how it works now
Fans: NOT YET!
I a m t h e s e n a t e

You are the FARCE
Responding late, but THANK YOU for this. I just don't get how anyone sees Luke as a Mary Sue.
Which character is more believable?
A character who gets much training and practice over six years, makes lots of mistakes, loses to the 2nd most powerful Force User in the galaxy, besting him a few years later.
A character who through Osmosis and Mind Reading picks up advanced skills over a week's time, succeeds at everything they try, and bests the 2nd and 3rd most powerful Force Users in the galaxy.
That is the thing we most forget, so much happened between episodes 4 and 6, but 7 and 9 were like right after each other
I think that 8 and 9 were separated by a few weeks at least, due to the Resistance having set up a sizable force again and Rey doing Jedi Training with Leia, but that’s still not enough time to learn something that even the chosen one himself didn’t learn with a decade of training and a willpower stronger than both deathstars combined wanted
@@Woopor the story could make sense if they explained how rey uses the force, if she can draw from both light and dark sides simultaniously, and doesnt have a confined method of its use, it could have saved some of the mary sue moments. also if the force was tainted by darth sideous's influence making it turbulent and unbalanced, itll make a lot of sense for the prophecy of balance when he is finally ended.
they should have focused on the limiting teachings that force users learn, make it an idealology conflict to explain not only why the jedi order from the first three movies were not so powerful, but why rey was so seemingly gifted in its use. it would also explain why she was able to defeat kylo, who had all the restrictive training that stifled his potential, and why he chose to team up with rey in the rise of skywalker.
If i recall, the entire sequel trilogy took place over a few weeks, with 7 and 8 just a couple days apart.

The moment when Rey attacks a man she’s never met because a droid she's just met says the man is wearing a jacket that looks like the jacket owned by another man she’s never met, was the moment I knew the audience was in trouble.
I'm surprised she didn't knock my nigga's jaw off with that staff swing...
Yup feminist girl power. I was like ok this isn't starwars especially when she tells Finn she can run without holding her hand. You knew at that point what direction they were going with this trilogy.
I mean, why did Finn put on Poe's jacket in the first place? He was in a desert.
Oh yeah, because without the jacket, Rey and Finn never meet.
To be fair, in a desert you're supposed to cover up your exposed skin to prevent sun burn, however the coverings should really be light cloth, not a leather jacket
Disproportionate use of force against men is the hallmark of SJW Mary Sues. See Captain Marvel almost murdering a guy for getting in her face and telling him to smile.
All Mary Sue's have one thing in common, they are the projection of their creator. Usually it is a writer but it can also be a director, producer, or in Rey's case, the president of Lucas Films. That person is the primary reason why Star Wars is a shadow of its former self. That person is Kathleen Kennedy.
Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys!
I heard that Kathleen Kennedy is the kind of person to say she supports female rights when in reality she just hates males. She made a stupidly overpowered female character to reflect this.
What really throws me off about this is that she was heavily involved in some of the best movies of all time, including every Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones movie, but also some of the worst, including these and even including The Last Airbender movie. The list of movies she was a part of is extremely interesting and I have no idea how I should feel about it.
@@sterlingmuse5808 The real talent does not lie with her but with whom she attaches herself. If it's with Spielberg or Lucas, then YES she will have a hit on her hand. If it's with some less talented director, it will show.

Conflict: *appears*
Rey: *breathes*
Conflict: Gone, reduced to atoms
Lmao
@dislike bot yep, right as she breathed from the first part of the movie it vanished, as if it was never their
@dislike bot Why would Rey have such a conflict in the first place? This conflict makes sense in the context of Luke because he was an aspiring Jedi, and presumably being tempted by the Dark Side is a conflict all up-and-coming Jedi must face. Metaphorically, it represents facing your own demons.
However Rey was *_NOT_* an aspiring Jedi; she had no motivation to become one, nor does she give any indication that she wants to be one. She just has a mastery of the Force because.....reasons. In fact, it's not until midway through _The Last Jedi_ that she expresses a desire to be trained by Luke. Once more, she has no reason or motivation to become stronger. She's already beaten Kylo Ren by this point, remember? So it makes no sense that Rey would be grappling with the same inner conflict that Luke was. Why would she find anything about the Dark Side tempting? She doesn't even find the GOOD SIDE tempting...
@dislike bot you again ?
@dislike bot Here's the thing though...her conflict in _The Rise of Skywalker_ is *_AFTER_* her training in _The Last Jedi._
Once more, we still have no clear motive as to why she wanted to train as a Jedi. The bigges problem with her character is that her entire "arc" was resolved by the end of the first film - she started out as a scavenger on Jakku, befriended Finn, escapes Jakku to go on an adventure, realizes she can use the Force, and in the climax faces off with Kylo Ren (who at the time, was meant to be this trilogy's Vader). She beats Kylo Ren in a lightsaber duel, saves Finn, and the First Order's super weapon is destroyed. At this point, there is nothing else for her character to do.
She has no reason to train with a Jedi Master because she's ALREADY a master. She beat a skilled Sith on her first attempt with no formal training of any kind. So what *_improvement_* does Rey need?
In Luke's case, he was not a Jedi master by the end of _A New Hope,_ which is why he trains with Yoda in _The Empire Strikes Back._ Likewise, Luke does not face Vader until TESB, and even then, his training is incomplete and he gets beaten. So even at the end of the second film, Luke's character still has room for growth; he has not bested Vader, nor has he mastered the Force.
I say all of this because Luke's conflict with the Dark Side is multi-layered:
1) He is brash, and often let's emotion influence his judgement
2) He has a tendency to give in to his anger/fear, as shown in TESB.
3) His father is Vader, who represents the most tempting offer of all -- Vader offers him a place at his side and the two of them ruling the galaxy together. Thus, the only way he can be with his father is by turning to the Dark Side.
4) Luke aspires to be a Jedi like his father, and is faced with avoiding the same fate as Anakin.
Now let's examine Rey:
1) Rey is also brash and sometimes lets emotion influence her judgement, but she is not an aspiring Jedi, so this doesn't matter.
2) Rey seldom exhibits fear or anger, so she seems to already have mastery of these emotions. Again, this is neither here nor there since she is not an aspiring Jedi.
3) Rey has no family ties to Luke, Leia, Han, Kylo Ren, or Snoke. It's only revealed in RoS that she is the granddaughter of Palpatine, but unlike Anakin, Palpatine has no noble Jedi past.
4) Rey has no reason to "be like Palpatine," because everything she's ever known about this character is negative. Palpatine is an evil Sith Lord, many times more malevolent than Snoke. If anything, this revelation should only reinforce her decision to not turn to the Dark Side.
So while Luke has real reason to turn, Rey has no reason to be tempted by the Dark Side. In fact, she spends much of TLJ trying to convert Kylo Ren back to the good side, so clearly she has already decided that the Dark Side is evil. Rey is not thirsty for power, so there is literally no reason for Rey to be any conflict with the DS.
As I said, her character arc was over by the end of TFA. If Kylo Ren had beaten her, she would've had reason to seek Luke's guidance. If Kylo Ren had been revealed to be her brother, she would have reason to join the Dark Side.
It's even worse when you realize finn's backstory actually has him as one of the better elite storm troopers who had a behavioral issue (he cared about people), which means he should be one of the better combatants in the whole trilogy and have intel on the storm troopers (making him an asset to the rebellion) but instead his plotlines are that he was a space janitor on the 2 most important ships in the first order...
Finn should have been the protagonist. Its likely that the writers knows this and as a result sabotage'd his character at every point.
i remember him having only just finished combat training in FA before the first scenes
@@tenryuta they had been training since they were children but even then, the FN Corp were trained directly by phasma and were considered one of (if not the) best units in the entire first order. they were basically supposed to be the new 501st. Finn was one of they're best cadets who was seen as a model soldier, except for the fact that he cared too much in phasma's eyes

Mr Everything 70 When that character introduced itself, I leaned over to my brother and whispered “You thought this was a Star Wars, but it was me, Dio!” which caused us to snicker like a bunch of idiots until someone told us to shut up.
At the beginning Luke wasnt powerful. He only could actually use his powers perfectly in the 6. movie. He couldn't win in 4 without Hans help, lost his hand in 5 because he wasn't strong enough and would have died without Leias help. In the 6. Movie he saves his friends but would have died in the movie without vaders help. And he only was stronger in movie 6 because he had a lot of training.
Yoda didn’t even want to train him because he was too old and when he left for Bespin, Yoda warned him it would lead to his incomplete training and could be fatal because he was not ready.
“You could say she is like a human version of Pixar’s wall-e without the humanity” that is the best line of this video
Luke also never would have made the final shot without Han Solo coming back to help him. Remember Vader was just about to shoot Luke down when Han shows up. So again, he needed a lot of help to pull off that shot. Ergo, not a Mary Sue

Rey needed help to beat Kylo in the first film, Chewbacca shoots him in the gut and Finn gets a hit in. Rey isn't a Mary Sue by the same metric lol.

Then the Last Jedi happened and my hope for the sequel trilogy was gone.
But...weren't your expectations subverted?!
I wrote a fanfiction where she's actually a reincarnated Jedi along with her own soul so the other part of her gives her skill but Rey needs to learn how to fight on her own and not just rely on her other half taking over.

You know, that actually sounds cool and interesting, something that I can get invested in. I would love to see Rey and her father finally meet in the presence of Kylo, maybe Kylo wants to push her father into killing Rey. But no, Disney wants it to just be one giant political statement. “Wahman gud, man stoopid”
dizzyizzylizzie I would legit read that. Whatever amount you have written.
I've been bouncing around ideas for how TFA could have *not sucked* while trying to keep most basic elements of the setup intact. In this, Han isn't pathetic and doesn't die until XIII (TLJ doesn't exist), Luke isn't a murdering angsty hermit, Finn and Poe team up for the B plot, and Rey was raised by a former youngling who escaped Order 66 but dies as part of the initial setup for TFA. Rey follows her dying request to "find Luke". Leia has her own administrative C Plot with Poe and Finn in which she isn't the demonstrable and weird idiot she is portrayed as in Disney Wars.
@@StarWarsomania warning: still killed Han in that fic, spun the Starkiller patricide decision as something Kylo/Ben did not out of wanting to be evil (though that was Snoke's intent) but because in his own twisted way he believed it was better to kill his beloved father now than let him go back and be the hero to a galaxy that never really appreciated him or it's other heroes and politics would just use him to their advantage. Part of the tragedy is that it's not a totally illogical presumption since Luke in that story left after the New Republic tortured him cause certain factions didn't believe what happened at the Temple and hated him from the start just for being Vader's son. Was trying to find ways to rationalize TFA back then, TLJ hadn't come out yet so I was hopeful for a tragic explanation for Kylo that wouldn't make his parents sound evil.
Literally everyone that grew up on a farm - and I am one - understands Luke’s baseline competencies: machinery/tech, operating diverse vehicles, firearms.
Luke was so believable as a moisture farmer with those added subtle details, that you don’t even notice how perfectly they fit into the character.
Original trilogy: a new world that had interesting ideas and fun space battles
Prequel trilogy: expands on the ideas that the original trilogy established
Sequel trilogy: copying the original trilogy and makes it very bad and boring

Doesn't mean if it copied the OGT it's bad, stranger things has no original idea and it is great, the prequels have original ideas but are shit.

Not only Rey Skywalker is the most powerful duelist and fighter. Obviously the most powerful force user with unmatched potential too. She is also the best starship captain, no can’t compete at her level and match her natural talent and skills.
Why do people underrates Rey Skywalker for no good reason, although she is the greatest character and part of the masterpiece of the sequel trilogy?
Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories.
She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess.
Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side.
Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it.
Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars.
Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history.
Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

The video hasn’t even premiered yet and it already has one dislike. Imagine disliking a video before even knowing its full contents. Some people are just ridiculous.
In response to this being demonetized before it premieres, I shall like it before it premieres.
Yes, this happens with books as well on good reads ...
Bots, Bots everywhere.
Thought for sure I've seen this video before, if they also had then that might be why? Can't find the video on his channel anymore tho. So either it's taken down or I'm going crazy.
Qasper think it was just a similar topic.
For me the sequels aren't star wars and Anakin is the chose one and Rey just doesn't exist
I like the way you think
I'm Rey
Rey who ?
definitely eREYsed

Luke was talking about the Imperial Academy. His Uncle prevented him from Joining the Empire. Good on you Owen.
In deleted scenes from the original film, we see Luke's friend Biggs Darklighter, who is attending the academy, but defects and is one of the rebel pilots in the attack on the Death Stare. Luke likely would have defected to the Rebellion too.
@@montyroot9090 Imperial officer checks the new recruits records "hmm, Skywalker...wasn't there a Jedi named Skywalker?" Imperial officer forwards it on to imperial command, imperial command informs Tarkin who in turn informs Vader and Palpatine. Greenhorn Luke gets his teacher, but in the form of Vader. The story would have been very different indeed.
@split haven seconded
She's a plot puppet. A barely ambulatory contrivance that knows/does whatever the plot needs her to. The fact of her Mary Sueness is a direct result of this, I think. It's almost like she's a video game character and we're watching a dev play the unfinished game as they test out powers and mechanics.

@@codeck4442Cease.
Disney: Aight time for a new FEMALE Star Wars main character named Rey that can master anything at first hand.
Fans: How can she do that?
Disney: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“The Rise of Skywalker... Answers nothing.” Kathleen Kennedy the wicked bitch.
Disney: Take some drugs and it will all make sense!
Accurate
I can't believe you managed to turn Rey into a decent character using only Ahsoka.
this is because Ahsoka is an actually well written, well developed character that if utilized properly can help make other such characters eg. Kanan Jarrus, when he was down and out with a new padawan she came in to help him learn to be a good master and support the group then was removed from the story when Kanan had his "eye opening" moment (yeah that's a joke) at the hands of Darth Maul (also a character with more personality and development than Rey)
oh. I thought that was Shakti
@Gamer Boi 2.0 the force awakens would've been better... if Rey didn't defeat Kylo Ren. One of the best student of Luke's academy, and the master of the knight of ren.. Also have Starkiller base different then just another Death Star.
Which is funny, because every time I debate people who (gag) like Rey, I shove everything great about Ahsoka in their face (with a little Padme and a good chunk of Leia for garnish)
agreed, had this been the big reveal, almost all would be forgiven
A cartoon Robot is more Human than Rey
Pixar knows what it means to be human.
Wall-E is a part of the offering of Artists creating a mirror of what they see in humanity.
Look at Wall-E

In whom do you see your humanity? That is the power of Good Writing and Presentation.
There is more humanity in the opening sequence of Wall-E and even the small montage of the couple in Up! than in the whole Sequel Trilogy...
You called.
@@silvergrove8517 THIS IS FACTS
The opening sequence to Wall-E so well crafted
the Sequel Trilogy was made from Popsicle sticks and glue
@@generalgrievous444 Thank you.
Simple reason: Luke fails over and over, Rey always wins
Even worse they show that even when Rey does Fail, the outcomme isstill positive, that is some Reality warper level sht.
Luke: Needs others to win, got stronger in part 6 only to need Vaders help because.. it's palpatine dudes, strong af sith.
Ray: strong awesome woman and needs no help because is super cool.
More like Luke fails over and over, BUT learns from the failure. Things go wrong and has to pay the price; he lost his hand for rushing in when his training is complete, and fails his friend, Han. But is able to save him in Episode 6. Rey, she does fail, BUT she DOESN’T learn from it. Despite failing, things still go well, because.

What about MauLer?
how they could have showed her skills and made it "remotely" viable:
There is a crashed star destroyer on the planet, have her seek refuge from a storm in it, she finds a pilot training program that partially works and she goes back to it constantly and learns some piloting skills from that. Then show a scene of her trying to adapt her flying "skills", applying scholastic knowledge to experience and how they never truly match up. Show her adapting and overcoming.
Mechanical skill? show her scrounging up parts from things to fix her bike and give a scene talking about her bike and how she has to constantly keep it running.
But no, they wanted to relive the magic of star wars without honoring it with a nice big handful of modern socio-political grand standing. These simple fact prevented any character growth and genuine character creation.
supposedly there is something like this in the novels. Yes, you have to do homework and read their books to get the story the movie should have been able to show.
You dont even have to show her funding them. During the meal scene just SHOW her practicing katas, shooting, or watching "How to Fly" holocrons...
@@rolkflameraven1483 As someone who has access to the entire library of star wars books. Yes, I understand this. There even somethings in the books that i think that should have been in the movies. Strong character moments. sadly they were not.
I'd take MauLer's recommendation as well, have her in the process of building her own personal ship (to seek out her parents?). Have her fly that out into space and run into Han and Chewie aboard the Millennium Falcon and skip all that nonsense.
@@rolkflameraven1483 While I cant argue the veracity of the novel claims, so ill just take your stance at face value. My point is i ought not need to do homework or move between different mediums to make a coherent story. In my eyes, even movies based off of books are separate entities to their novels, specifically because they often omit, embellish, or create events to feed a practical need for the movie format. LOTR Trilogy omitted Tom Bombadill, made Helms Deep a major battle (when in novel its mostly glossed over).... i could go on, but i think my point has been made. You cant expect your audience to have surrounding source material before even watching the film unless it was explained in a connected medium (book to book, movie to movie).
I remember when someone said something like “Rey would beat Darth Vader at his prime.” Me and everyone else laughed. This guy has such a connection with the force, he used it to force himself to breathe.
