Yeah, they should prefer nuanced, deep characters like Luke Skywalker.

Don't forget she's an excellent pilot despite never being on a ship before. At least Luke wanted to be a pilot his entire life.

Women are incapable of seeing their own flaws

confronting their own flaws is something women are unable to admit, and since they think with emotions, not logic, they will make up a million excuses for said flaws
>>
>>63825057

Uh, Luke is a whiny brat who doesn't fight the main villain in the first movie and gets his ass handed to him in the second movie. He's out-cooled by a guy that appears 40 mins in. Sure, he's a good pilot, but he can't handle a lightsaber immediately and gets a blast in his side by a droid when he starts using it. He rescues Leia and then Leia needs to rescue him. He's far from perfect.

Womp rats, T-16.

Try three months.

Streeeeetch

>Strongest Jedi ever in the next movie, without any training

Yoda, bitch. He's trained Jedi for hundreds of years. Plus, he's built his own lightsaber by that point.

We know Lucas is terrible. Abrams still followed his footsteps

>>63825163
>>Best pilot ever after a life spent on a farm
He inherited his father's abilities and always wanted to be a pilot anyway.
>>Blows up Death Star like it's nothing
Needed Obi-Wan's guidance.
>>Trains with Yoda for 3 days and then stalemates Vader for a while
Trained for longer and got annihilated by Vader who was just toying with Luke to test his abilities. Once Luke landed that one blow, Vader immediately chops Luke's hand off. Luke has to jump off a bridge just to survive.
>>Strongest Jedi ever in the next movie, without any training
But he's been trained by Obi-Wan and Yoda. Two of the most powerful Jedi ever. He's also fought and lost against Vader. He has everything he needs.

Rey by comparison is complete Mary Sue nonsense.

>>63825242

Are you dumb? Han Solo brought the Stormtroopers up there because he couldn't stall on the comms properly, and then they were cornered and wound up in a trash compactor, which part of that was "planned"?

Whereas Rey gets kidnapped and breaks out on her own with a mind trick out of nowhere and kicks Kylo Ren's ass.

Because women literally cannot into individuality

They struggle to view themselves as distinct from other women and vice-versa, essentially they have an inherently collectivist mindset. If one woman is depicted or described in a certain way, they take it personally.

Not hard when you're the only the Jedi alive. And he only beats Vader in VI because he strayed into the Dark Side.

you mean after spending literally his whole life practicing his piloting skills?

>stalemates Vader for a while
you mean Vader just plays with his food because he knows Luke is his son and trying to turn him?

go watch that scene and honestly try to tell me that Vader was even trying. pic related

>without any training
you mean after spending most of ESB and presumably all the intervening time between ESB and Jedi on TRAINING?
>>
>>63825057

he is only good at piloting in the first movie

rey is good at piloting, sword fighting, force powers, mechanic on starships, shooting - all without any training and spending her life alone

she is basically perfect at everything

>>63825163

>Best pilot ever after a life spent on a farm

he clearly used to pilot ships on tatooine and says this

>Blows up Death Star like it's nothing

yeah he uses the force

>Trains with Yoda for 3 days and then stalemates Vader for a while

he trains longer than that and vader toys with him the whole time because he isn't trying to kill him, he is trying to convert him.

>Strongest Jedi ever in the next movie, without any training

he got his shit pushed in by sheev and vader had to save him
>>
>>63825163
>Blows up Death Star like it's nothing

He had Obi Wan to help him as a force ghost. That was also the only time he used the force in the first movie

>Trains with Yoda for 3 days and then stalemates Vader for a while

That's a weak argument. We don't know how long he actually trained with Yoda. Vader ends up wrecking him because he was too impatient, and also because of his need to save his friends

>Strongest Jedi ever in the next movie, without any training

He's the only remaining Jedi in Return of the Jedi, and he's also older and more experienced. It's implied that in the time gap between The Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi he improved his skills with the force.

Luke really isn't a Mary Sue at all. He has his moments, sure, but he spends a lot of time getting his ass whooped, struggling, or relying on his friends (who initially weren't too fond of him) to help him

Rey instantly knows how to mind probe people, mind trick people, wield a lightsaber and is better at using the force than Kylo, who presumably trained with Luke for years, because movie. Luke in the first movie only aimed a torpedo, and that was with Obi Wan guiding him through it.
>>
>>63825163
>>Strongest Jedi ever in the next movie, without any training

Except the only reason he beats Palpy is because Vader renounces his allegiance and chooses his son over the dark side.

Luke was literally dead without Vader's help.

>>>/tumblr/
>>
>>63825826
Also, claiming that Rey had prior Jedi training isn't an excuse, because Rey was left on Jakku as a small child. That implies that she learned how to wield a lightsaber and use the force better than Luke could for most of the OT as a literal toddler
>>
I'm happy to have a cool female jedi to root for.
A better character who isn't good in anything would have been better, sure.
It still feels good to have a female main character in my favorite film series.
Are you sure you're not annoyed because she's a Mary Sue but because she's a woman?

Luke was also kind of a whiny jerk. He's mean to the robots and acts like he's such a badass in the briefing room.

Fucking Luke what an asshole.

I can't find of a Gary Stu popular male character since John Matrix in Commando.
Luke gets his ass kicked constantly, he's definitely not one.

If they have made Rey a T'wilek no one would be giving a shit if she's a Mary Sue.
>>
>>63825953
to be fair disney, the cast, and crew are nonstop going on in interviews about how progressive and 'modern' the casting is and practically saying Rey is the first female jedi, which she isn't, and Phasma is the first female villain, which she isn't. Of course clickbait journalists are going to make that headlines which normies eat up

Obscure books or silly cartoons don't count.
I know there are cool female characters in the Universe, but they aren't main characters.
Do you think anyone gives a shit about Lumiya, Ysanne Isard or Bobafett's-daughter- I forgot her name?

>>63826441
Why not? You don't actually know the exact amount of time he spent on Degobah.

Also you are applying the shitty retroactive changes of the PT to the OT, and that never works. Before the prequels the ammount of training a Jedi needed wasn't specified, but it took Luke a lot longer to get on Rey's level.
