Is she the most pure-hearted character in the Star Wars universe? Seriously, does she have any negative traits?
>>
her sweety smelly feets

>>64032610
She tried to kill my boy Kylo there at the end and she looked pretty mean doing it. I think once she gets her period she's going full dark side on us.

She's kind of an idiot, and she's clearly not in control of her emotions.

If that gulf hadn't have opened up between her and Kylo, she would have murdered him.

She's so cute that it's distracting

It'll at least be visually appealing. I like the idea of Reys memory being wiped and then her going fucking bananas after she finds out she lashes out. Snoke helps her recover her lost memories and it turns out Luke abandoned her or something.
>>
>>64032610
She does literally nothing but run away from danger, and follow other characters when she can't go home yet.
That's all she fucking does.

Leia took on the god damn Empire and protected the Rebel Alliance despite torture, and being abandoned with no hope of rescue on the freaking Death Star, never wavering in her determination to do the right thing, despite her limited capabilities, and lacking the skill to effectively nullify the only torture attempt she suffered, unlike Rey.

And people think Rey is a heroic character, who is the first to portray a strong female in Star Wars.

Just fuck my shit up, senpai.
>>
>>64033113
yeah this was actually crazy to watch... literally switch the lightsaber colors and its a hero getting stomped by a sith master. She better have a fall to the dark side because of all the rage and pain of being left alone by her family, even if its a brief twist.
>>
>>64033311

I was guessing that Luke left her on Jakku to hide her from Snoke. Personally I'm more interested in who Snoke is.

What I don't get is this:
Kylo and Rey seem to be about the same age. But Rey was a child when Kylo destroyed Lukes Jedi Academy. Was Kylo a child too then?

You know how she's really strong in the force, how she barely has to even work for it? She seems to understand techniques quickly and pulls off impressive feats, that would be impressive even for an actual padawan, with ease.

Mace Windu: The boy has exceptional skills.
Obi-Wan: But he still has much to learn, Master. His abilities have made him... well arrogant.
Yoda: Yes. Yes. A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are.

Luke: Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive.

I think the explanation most people are using (Besides "The Force") is that Kylo had taken a bowcaster bolt to the stomach 2 minutes earlier.
The bowcaster has previously been shown to ragdoll normal people.

I'm fine with a lot of the things people are complaining about because I feel like it will be explained in the next couple films.

I have no idea what the state of the war is between them and not knowing bugged me the entire movie.

>Same fucking retarded 'I dont want to kill you' swordfights all over again

It's pretty obvious that Kylo doesn't want to kill her considering he tries to recruit her to the dark side while they're fighting.

Exactly, people are mad at shit being open and unexplained but we need 2 more movies for fucking context. We don't know about Reys past, we don't know what happened with Kylo, we don't know exactly why Fin turned. These are all topics that can easily be covered in the next 2 films and still fit the story well. Rey will obviously train with Luke, we'll learn about Kylo and Rey more. Fin will come back and they'll explain more of his story. This isn't a single film story.

Maybe he grabbed a ledge mid fall or crawled to a ship before the planet exploded. The camera didn't pan to his lifeless body so we don't know for sure.

Also he's confirmed for the next move though it would be gay as fuck if it was just flashbacks.

I have a bad feeling that instead of doing something interesting with Rey falling to dark side or something else, Disney will make the next two very cookie cutter. Rey will train with Luke, while Kylo trains with Snoke, third movie they will face off and Rey will win.

I know that Disney plans on making Star Wars movies indefinitely, but have they said that 7-8-9 are going to be a trilogy, or are we just assuming that?
>>
>>64033994
Remember when Luke got his hand cut off and almost jumped off to his death. Same thing with Han is possible.

The only thing that legitimately bothered me was how she got pissed off every time Finn grabbed her hand to lead her from danger.

It's like "oh, you're mad that I'm leading you away even though you seemed to be perfectly content to sit under that tent and play with yourself?"

Horrifically written there. Finn could have just grabbed her hand and they could have parted and kept on running without anything being said. Instead they had to make a fucking point of how he lead her away from danger and that was somehow his fault.

The only reason people are talking shit about kylo is exactly because of rey. Kylo goes from stopping a blaster shot coming out of fucking nowhere to getting destroyed by this mary sue bitch.
>>
>>64033600
Yeah but both Luke and Anakin Trained. Rey is a Mary Sue of the highest order. Maybe this makes her a dark side practitioner unknowingly.

The only way they could make Rey not a Mary Sue is to make her character the antagonist. But they won't do that. Rey's super strong for no reason at all. That shit about her faith in the force is pure shit. The force is art and to attain mastery of it you have to draw. To just draw out of nothingness is an impossibility unless of course you're retarded autistic. and Rey's not retarded autistic.

>But they won't do that.
When you add shit like that in it makes me think you people that specifically need to inform everyone that rey is a mary sue are just shitting on new star wars, maybe because they don't like disney or it's a 'patrician' opinion whatever. That's fine but be upfront about it.
>>
>>64034376
He didn't do shit like spare innocents, check on his men's welfare like a good officer, or even give coins to beggars;

Hell the first thing he does in the movie is to kill a defenseless old man.

Where was the conflict? Show don't tell.

>Making rey an antagonist won't make up for how much of a mary sue she is.
Absolutely it would. People like that post you replied to refuse to consider it. It'd be the first good and well set up fall to the dark side in Star Wars movies. Rey going from Mary Sue to dark side would be making good on Anakin Skywalker.

If she falls after being a Mary Sue, then you can have a character talk about her like Obi-Wan does Anakin in IV and actually have it fit with who the character was.

Not to mention her dying or being redeemed by someone would undo the mary sue element entirely.
>>
>>64034457
here's what i'm shitting on. they totted Rey as the change in the Van Guard. With J.J. even going as far as saying that the new Star Wars is a change of what we're used to .

Now they have intent. Rey being a more than powerful heroine who needs no man on account of her being a Mary Sue was blatant and it just felt cheap.

Finn was infinitely more likeable than she was as was Kylo. Both of them felt realer to me than Mary Sue Rey. Making Rey strong for no good reason was a dead give away about their intent to sell this movie to a selected demographic. But as I said, Finn was just realer than real to me. The only thing that didn't make sense to me was his progression from Storm Trooper to Strom Trooper killer. These people would have been the only family he had..it just felt off.
>>
>>64034519
That was all tell, acting didn't convince me either. Not sold.

He was evil for years so why would he waver now. We never got to see them bond as a family either so it has no impact beyond "character from my childhood died, so sad" which I honestly think is blinding people to the film's failings as a story.

And "I am torn apart" is The Room tier dialogue, the new "you're tearing me apart, Lisa".

It won't fix her but it'd make us sympathetic to the other characters. Rey being OP could make her more of a threat to the heroes. But of course they've already said she's the new hero of star wars so it's all ogre now.

>>64034559
That's it, killing them is the Imperial/Dark Side way

Sparing them is the Light way but he didn't do it, or any other good deed to show he's really conflicted.

You could have just said, "I really hate feminists and just know this is pandering to them, I refuse to entertain the idea of it having any plot meaning because I hate the group I suspect this is pandering to so fucking much."

You're also repeating the same tired arguments everyone that doesn't like TFA says. That Finn shit is already tired. You assume comradely and a sense of family that is never shown in an army you know use indoctrination and make you wear uniforms that remove all individuality. During an escape stormtroopers shoot at him. Finn does not shoot first. What's he gonna do, half ass this escape attempt and get shot without a fight?

That jedi mind-trick thing really was bullshit in the movie. One could argue however that the galaxy, as it is, is desperate to bring balance back to the force. So it's asspulling forces in....ugh fuck it I can't defend this shit. No matter how I try to wrap my mind around it she's a goddamn Mary Sue. It's like the people defending it have forgotten what's required to be a Mary Sue. She fits all criteria almost like she was dropped into the movie by a fucking space genie.

And to add, why would the force super aide her and not super aide Yoda or Mace when the both of them faced off against the evil? If balance is that paramount then the Force should have acted, unless of course the force doesn't behave that way, which would negate any theories as to why Rey is super strong for no reason.

It's taken on a new meaning since then. Citing the original definition hardly counts at this point.

Even so, she's borderline on fitting the criteria. I said before though that we lack the proper exposition that a second film will (for the love of god please) bring so that we can all shut the fuck up and stop speculating. The next movie cannot come soon enough.
>>
>>64032610
Alright fuck this bitch, fuck this movie, I'm venting.
An HOUR into the movie we finally get a better idea of the bigger picture. The Order fires up the nth Death Star, but something terrible happens. The movie goes to shit. IMMEDIATELY after Maz gives Rey the talk she needs about the force, her legacy, and leaving Jakku behind, we see that there's no wonderment or consideration in Rey's eyes. She doesn't close them and try to feel the force like Maz tells her. She refuses the saber and fucking runs into the forest. Then instead of Rey having an "I just felt something terrible happen" moment and going to CONFIRM her abilities with the force and her bigger place in the galaxy, they just cut from this galactic tragedy straight to poor Rey's plight in the forest with her still attempting to escape it all. WHAT A JOKE. Now I know who's fucking important. 70 minutes in and I'm still watching a do-it-all selfish coward try to escape. Luke found his motivation in 40 minutes when he realizes, even though his vague relatives had just died, quote, "there's nothing for me here now." He had nothing to lose and just wanted to help where he could, it even lended to his naive underdog character. Yet Rey has fucking nothing to go back to, she has no personal impetus or altruism, she fucking runs away, straight into Kylo, where self-preservation takes her reins from then on. And not only that, but she picks up Jedi mind tricks for no reason (which is okay because the scene was funny and did not break the fourth wall) and then proceeds to kick Kylo's ass for no reason (after he beats her back all the way to the cliff, where we're left to HOPE that shutting her eyes was the dark side giving her some depth of character). Then deus ex Disney prevents any meaningful resolution between them, everyone escapes, R2 turns on for no fucking reason, and the movie awkwardly ends in a way unlike the classic circular wipe of all the other movies as one final "fuck you." Bravo.

>>
>>64035003
yes and no.

Luke uses the force once before the end of the movie when Obi Wan encourages him to trust in the force and to use the force to aim the shot, when he had the blast shield down on a helmet and obi wan then too encouraged him to trust the force. but that's training, he simply learned to allow the force to give him a six sense sight.

However, Luke had a lot of training in this regard.
"Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, when Wedge Antilles protested that the two-meter target on the Death Star was impossible to hit, even for a computer, Luke Skywalker countered that he used to "bulls-eye" womp rats in his T-16 Skyhopper back home and that they were not much bigger than two meters.[1]"

>>64033731
basically this. Rey has extensive combat experience with a staff (shown previously) and Ren just took a shot in the gut with the Star Wars equivalent of an anti-materiel rifle.

I liked how Ren fighted, at least, especially against Finn. none of that prequel dancing about - every swing was delivered with force and intended to kill. you could see the hate behind every blow, it felt so much more right for how a student of the dark side should fight.

I liked the Rey character, as a character. Struggling to survive, by herself on the planet since she was a kid. Not even getting paid in money, but food on the planet for whatever she could scrape off of old ships on the planet. I was like, "fuck this kid has a horrible life, I hope things shape up for her."

What she was able to do however, in some places was bullshit. They want you to ignore how unbelievable all the shit she does is because she's basically got nothing in the beginning.

Everyone is praising TFA as the second coming and if memory serves, everyone was also hoping up on TPM's cock back in the day too. I've slowed with my rhetoric some because time will give these people enough clarity to see what we're seeing now.


>>64035076
Rey is a deus ex machina who can into anything to further the plot and the moment she's around R2 wakes up with the second half of the map. And who can forget the bigger yet equally as flawed and poorly made death star which has a simple weakness a rag tag bunch could get at.

>>64035093
at a loss I am.

>>64035123
No, no she's not like Anakin.

Anakin six sense, this faster reaction time afforded to him by the force was in no way a Gary Stu ability like Rey's. In fact, Shmi Wattoo and Anakin himself admitted that not only had he never won a race but that in each of those failures he wrecked racing pods.

Anakin's mastery of pod racing came at a price which was time, effort and constant failure unto success. he made a droid, a clunky, unfinished malfunctioning one but that was not outside his skill set because he worked for Wattoo in his shop and he was seen to have tonnes of droid guts and pieces in his room.

He built a barley functioning robot, what a gary stu.

In the final battle Anakin admitted the fighter's controls were like a pod racer, and he was taken to battle via remote like all the fighters were. once there, he used his TRAINED force sixth sense of avoiding danger and obstacles and braved the lazer fire until he, while running from ships, landed on the battle curiser. engines overheating he's forced to ask R2 to bring the weapons on line, while he desperately tries to restart engine. engine restarts and while firing at dozens of droids that surround him, he accidently strikes a fuel tank.
If anything the only Gary Stu in TPM was Jar Jar Binks.

YES THEY DID! It's friggen insane. When she uses telepathy and effortless calls the saber to her i was reminded of Luke on Hoth upside down and desperately trying to move the saber which took almost three minutes. Rey's first time out though, she reaches and it comes like a flash towards her.

I think we're all forgetting that we've never had a stage like this to poke holes in a Star Wars movie like the internet is today.

And yet he demonstrated the most OP force abilities in all the films combined. He stops a bolt in mid air, which as is, is an ability the masters in AOTC and ROTS could have benefited from greatly. And then he uses force telepathic interrogation which would have come in handy when Vader wanted to interrogate Leia and had to rely on a torture interrogation droid.

But that's what I love about Lucas. Shitty maker he may have became, but he has an eye for visual logic.

--Watto's shop has droids and stuff all over the place. It's implied he uses Anakin for more than just cleaning the shop
--Anakin's room is virtually littered with droid bits and bodies and pieces.
--C3PO is like a failed experiment but completely believable for a child of 9 to pull off who has had modest training and practice in droid innards.

So the guy ignore Rey needing Finn to shoot down Tie-Fighters in a situation where it would have been physically impossible for her to pilot and shoot at the same time.
Being a Mary Sue doesn't imply the power of Omnipresence, and infact, one of the Tie-Fighters got shot out by her effectively, all Finn had to do, was pull the trigger while she pulled an impossible manover.

As for the other two examples:
She's momentarily overpowered by a Sith with years of training and experience.
The same Sith she then proceeds to wreck completely in every field, especially the use of the Force later on.

So badly injured in fact, that he still went for a full on ballet performance, instead of doing something simple, like maybe using the same paralysing trick on Finn, chopping him in half, and walking off.
But of course he couldn't do that, because he was in emotional turmoil.
Despite the fact that it's an established fact of the Star Wars universe that the Sith use their emotions to fuel their power.
