Luke:

only talent is being an ace pilot and being born with a connection with the force. Takes two full movie to fully master the force. Has to be saved time and time again (first by obi, then by han).

Han: gets BTFOED in 2 seconds against vader. No force powers.
Vader: Mary Sue villain. But he starts as the villain and not the main character.

Rey: good at all possible skills. Combat, piloting, linguistics, fighting, lightsaber dueling. Gains full mastery of the force and all the force powers with no training at all.

all that scene in the falcon in anh with luke and obi wasn't about learning to deflect blasters but to learn to feel the force.

I like how people rush to defend her with logic like "She's strong in the force. That makes her an amazing engineer and fighter and everything." when that dumb logic was what was wrong with the prequels. When you use "DA FORCE" to just wave away entire stretches of plot it just doesn't make for a good movie.
>>
>>64112760

>Luke
>talented young pilot who is strong in the force but still has a long way to go, as evidenced by the fact that he gets his shit cracked and is beaten down by his teacher for being reckless, full of anger and impatient. We see Luke fail and struggle. The story doesn't revolve around "look how great Luke is."

>Han
>Smuggler with a number of talents. Is never portrayed as over powered, just cunning. Han suffers and fails throughout the story as well and is punished for moral failings.

>Vader
>tragic villain. Had talent and potential, but turned to the dark side because he felt powerless and felt like people weren't giving him enough respect. Got his arm chopped off because he was still not skilled enough, and over estimated his own power just to be burnt to a crisp and forced to live in a suit as half a human being for the rest of his life.

A Mary Sue is not just a talented character who may seem to succeed. A Mary Sue is a self-insert that the story revolves around just making feel good and appearing like she's talented at everything and the only reason anyone gets mad at her is cause they're jealous or haven't yet realized how awesome she is.

I find it especially ridiculous to call Anakin a Gary Stu of all the characters. I can sort of understand Han or Luke, but fucking Vader/Anakin? Seriously?

Finn was the best character in the movie next to Kylo Ren is why. Turns out someone being black or having a vagina isn't enough to complain about a character when you've actually seen the story unfold, there actually need to be story problems. Who woulda thunk?
>>
>>64112926
More importantly, how the fuck was Finn able to use a light saber so proficiently throughout the entire movie? Especially against Kylo Ren, who had the power to just choke him or throw him off a cliff? This movie was completely illogical the entire way through.

>>
>>64113358

The thing is, the prequels used "the Force" as an explanation, but it made sense in context. The Will of the Force bringing people together by what appears to the common mind to be pure chance. Characters possessing certain talents and developing them with greater ease because they are stronger in their ability to tap unconsciously or instinctively into the Force's power. These things make sense within the universe as we know it.

Hand waving Rey's ability to do a Jedi mind trick though when the Original Trilogy and even the prequels portrayed such techniques as something one has to learn to do with some training (we never see Luke do it until ROTJ where it's used to establish he's closer to Obi-Wan's level now) just seems like ignoring the fact that they're trying to make Rey Donut Steel stronger and more naturally talented than Luke and Vader.
>>
>>64113409
Technically true. Vader was ready to blast him in the Death Star trench though.
>>
>>64113385
To be fair, they established ren's mindreading was two-way when rey called him on his fears. So a decent explanation is she picked up a lot of shit from that.

She still had to try three times (and almost ended up raped) before she got it right.
>>
>>64112760

Fuck women. Fuck you cuck.
>>
>>64113338
Rey isn't the one getting blacked so its fine now
>>
>>64113267
The prequels didn't do that though. Anakin being a fantastic pilot and mechanic was separate from him being a Jedi. Obi-Wan was a shit pilot and nobody else I can think of was a great mechanic. The force only came up in that it gave him good "reactions" because he had precog.

Anakin is the only one that you might be able to argue the Mary Sue thing on, if it wasn't for the fact everybody didn't like him like Rey (in fact most characters either viewed him as unstable and arrogant, or as a tool to be used) and he actually didn't beat anyone until the third movie, which is the movie where he becomes the villain, and he still loses at the end.
>>
>>64113474
Vader didn't know it was luke he was about to shoot.

He just knew the force was strong with him.
>>
>>64113440

Except he did? Snoke wanted Rey alive. He fucking told him. Kylo would never defy Snoke. He was talking to her about Dark Side while they were fighting.

And he was beating the crap out of her for 2/3 of the fight. While bleeding the entire time. By the time she starts winning he was tired as fuck and lost a lot of blood.
>>
>>64113472
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you, sir. When you make something "the will of the force" that means you essentially take away all the struggles of the characters and make their decisions null and void. Any kind of device like a prophecy or destiny makes the characters pointless.
>>
>>64113512
I'm just talking about their relative skill levels. Vader had Luke beat without Han.
>>
>>64113499
>Anakin being a fantastic pilot and mechanic was separate from him being a Jedi.

Anakin's force sensitivity was specifically referenced as the reason he was a great pilot and mechanic.
>>
>>64113517
Yea, you're right. Ren also did start bitching out heavily once rey got a lightsaber.
>>
>>64113542
No, it's the reason he can do the Pod Race, because it allows him fantastic reactions. Again, Obi-Wan isn't a good pilot is spite of that, and he also can't just build a protocol droid from scratch.
>>
Anyone got a way to see the Rey vs Kylo battle again?
>>
>>64113443

Finn literally works alongside Kylo Ren and needs to be told "it's true, all of it" with regards to the Sith and the Jedi. He also needs to be told by Han "that's not how the Force works". However, Rey knows what a Jedi Mind Trick is and how to execute it? Okay motherfucker.
>>
>>64113615
You can try buying another ticket and seeing it again.
>>
>>64113542
It allows him the capacity to do that shit in the sense of giving him precog and good hand eye coordination. Other Jedi can't do that shit despite having the force as well. It doesn't just grant you knowledge all all talents that exist.
>>
>>64113453
>More importantly, how the fuck was Finn able to use a light saber so proficiently throughout the entire movie?

IT'S JUST A LASER SWORD
>>
>>64113338
I have a problem with him because he could somehow use a light saber better than anyone who had picked one up their first time, and hold his own against someone like Kylo Ren, who for some reason didn't just crush his trachea and then curb stomp the knocked out Rey. None of it made any sense.

>inb4 he wanted Rey as a mentor!

The rule of two is a Sith concept, which is something Ren is not. If he wanted to be, he wouldn't get caught up in all the bullshit he was in. The movie was honestly shit overall.

Except it's not. It makes you better than other people yes, because it basically makes you on a physical level better than everybody who doesn't have it. It doesn't grant you extra talents or knowledge.

Obi-Wan was one of the most powerful Jedi that exists. He's a shit pilot. He's certainly not a fucking mechanic, and neither are the other Jedi.

>>64113722
Prequels are canon fucktard. Them having weight was just something Lucas told Hamil because he wanted him to use it in both hands and swing it a certain way. He later changed his mind in how he wanted them to swing them. They never had weight, and they certainly don't now.
>>
>>64113734

That's not EU, that's Lucas. Word of god. Again, keep your filthy casual shit away from this discussion or at the very least be inquisitive rather than authoritative because you clearly don't know shit.

If Luke were Rey, he would have beat every Tusken raider, beat both those dudes in the bar, blasted away tons of Stormtroopers, and then grabbed Kenobi's lightsaber with the Force after he dies and seriously wounded Vader in a lightsaber fight.

Instead, Luke gets his ass chumped by a single tusken raider, needs Kenobi to back him in a bar fight with two drunk idiots, runs away from stormtroopers, and then runs from Vader when he kills his mentor.

Rey is a fucking Mary Sue. If you like her, that's fine. Hell, I liked her and I liked the movie. But, yeah, she's a Mary Sue, stop trying to pretend she wasn't one.

Wrong.

Fighting his father who wants to make him an ally.

>Finn

Fighting a guy who has just killed his father and was wounded by a bowcaster that took numerous dudes out. Also, Luke's training was incomplete and the only lightsaber training you saw him complete was getting show in the side in A New Hope. Finn has combat training and got fucked up worse than Luke (aside from not losing his hand).

See what I mean? That whole use the force for everything is stupid and bullshit.
>>
Lucas wanted the lightsabers to look like they were heavy because he wanted them to fight like broadswords. That doesn't mean they were actually massive things. Han solo uses one fairly easily and it doesn't look like it has that much weight to it. He was talking about the aesthetics of the fights.

Are you retarded? Please show me all the other Jedi who built droid like nothing? Or explain how Obi-Wan wasn't a great pilot if the force apparently just downloads the information directly into your brain?

He was a mechanic that could build a droid at 9 because he was a genius at it and it's literally what he did his entire life as a slave. Did you miss where he worked or something?

You're literally making up headcanon, dog. The force is never said to do what you're saying it does, and your bullshit in contradicted by literally every other character who has force sensitivity.

>I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you, sir. When you make something "the will of the force" that means you essentially take away all the struggles of the characters and make their decisions null and void.

I was talking about things like Qui Gon coincidentally through some series of accidents appearing to find the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy and understanding that it must have been the Force that brought them together for a purpose, which makes sense in context. These things don't make any of the characters' conscious decisions "null and void" they are intended to develop the Force as an abstract concept within the mythos. As far as Anakin's talent goes, it was only stated that his high force sensitivity gave him quick reflexes and better problem solving skills. You might as well say anyone having any kind of natural talent is null and void if you're gonna cry foul there, especially when the story doesn't spend time just giving Anakin more and more powers and its clear he has weaknesses, whether due to nature or his own bad choices.

>Any kind of device like a prophecy or destiny makes the characters pointless.

It doesn't though, especially with Anakin, where the tragedy is supposed to be that it seems almost inevitable that he's going to fall because of destiny or because he refuses to follow his true destiny and suffers from it or because the Jedi misunderstood a prophecy.

Because everyone (other than sheev) was less force sensitive than anakin.

Fair points, except that Storm Troopers do not receive light saber training. He somehow picks up a light saber and is wielding it as if he had training with it. Unless we come to find out he somehow received training at some point in his past, it makes no sense.

This. Liked the movie but they did not do a good job with Rey. Wouldve fixed it by removing the mind trick and then have her use her emotions and anger to beat Ren. She had reasons to be angry.

>>
>>64113972
It was on autopilot. When he got control of it, he crashed it into the hangar. He didn't even shoot down another fighter with it, he just launched some bombs and flew it out of a hangar with the assistance of R2-D2.

He didn't do a 360 noscope on a trained tie pilot with a broken turret.
>>
>>64113915
We have to feel at least the vague, unlikely notion that the good guys might not win. When it's written in stone (sometimes literally) that good will prevail then you can't even pretend the bad guys have a chance.

We've seen it a thousand times already. The character is the chosen one. They say "I can't do it." Then someone says "You can do it. You're the chosen one." Then they say "Oh yeah, I can do it." Then the movie ends. It's just lazy writing.

Yeah isn't that nigga basically set up to be crush proof? Even if you threw him from a great height he would probably just walk it off.
>>
>>64113935
So you have nothing then. Obi-Wan was, again, one of the strongest Jedi, he could equal Anakin in the force at the end of III. They had a scene where they both tried to force push each other to show it. He was not a fantastic pilot or mechanic or anything else other than a good Jedi. Hell, Luke in ANH doesn't know shit about what he's doing when it comes to droids, and he's bullshit force sensitive.

You've literally invented your own headcanon that is not supported by anything and are now claiming it's inarguable. Based on nothing.

Really? Because both times Finn used the lightsaber he got his ass kicked 5 ways to sunday. Against TR-8R he gets yolked up swinging wildly before han solo saves his ass.

Against Kylo Ren he gets slashed in the back,stabbed in the shoulder, gets a lucky shot in, and is left to remain unconscious the rest of the movie. Where do you see that as him wielding it better than anybody?

Luke never had any training, thus failing spectacularly at training new force-users fucked him up and sent him looking for information on how to train people without them it ending mass murder, which turned into exile once he realized the jedi order had nothing on that short of "get em young, emotions are bad."

Han's primary goal was to get the falcon back, hence the ship hes flying that's specfically for capturing large salvage, and pulling smuggling jobs on the side.

Its not like leia has any family or connections or planets to go home to. What else is she going to do?

The first order was clearly new and unknown. Basically the taliban or al-Qaeda, except without the republic training them.

>We have to feel at least the vague, unlikely notion that the good guys might not win. When it's written in stone (sometimes literally) that good will prevail then you can't even pretend the bad guys have a chance.

And that's what we got with the Star Wars saga. Heck, Lucas even purposely made it a little vague whether Anakin was really the Chosen One.

>We've seen it a thousand times already. The character is the chosen one. They say "I can't do it." Then someone says "You can do it. You're the chosen one." Then they say "Oh yeah, I can do it." Then the movie ends. It's just lazy writing.

And that's not what we got with Anakin. The dude is a fucking child murderer and responsible for bringing one of the greatest victories of darkness the galaxy has seen and only redeems himself at the last possible minute.

Han didn't use them to fight. Greivous is a very specific case. Please point me to Finn's robot body and his four lightsabers that he just spins around like a retard hoping to overwhelm his opponent because he can't use them like a jedi or he'd cut himself up.

Got rekt by the tusken raiders, needed Obi Wan to save him
Nearly got killed by the men in the cantina, needed Obi Wan to save him
Needed Leia and Han to cover his ass constantly during the rescue mission, which ended up being a clusterfuck
Screwed up deflecting blaster bolts while Obi Wan was training him, never actually does that until 2 movies later
Rarely used his lightsaber at all
Needs C3PO to interpret droids for him
Initially annoyed Han and Leia with his naivete and innocence
Needed R2 to save him from being crushed by the trash compactor
Needed Obi Wan to protect him from Vader
Needed Wedge to protect him from a TIE fighter during the trench run

Beat up four guys by herself
Skilled marksman
Skilled mechanic
Knew more about the Millennium Falcon than Han and Chewie, who piloted and repaired it for years
Piloted the Millennium Falcon by herself competently enough to outmaneuver two TIE fighters, even though it required two pilots
Gets kidnapped once, ends up saving herself anyways
Better at using the Force than Kylo, who trained under Luke for years
Instantly knowledgeable about probing minds, telekinesis, and using Jedi mindtricks
Instantly skilled at using a lightsaber
Has super saiyan jedi mode, which no other jedi has ever used in the movies
May have possibly learned all of this at the ripe young age of 4, depending on her backstory

>Where do you see that as him wielding it better than anybody?

He wielded it better than someone with his level of training, which as far as we know, is absolutely none at all. MAYBE he could have held out as long as he did against TR-8R, but even then, for TR-8R to carry a shield and melee weapon into battle, we can assume he had extensive training with it, unlike Finn.

Realistically, his ass should have been killed within 3 seconds of facing Kylo Ren, injured or not. Even if Kylo Ren didn't just use the force to fuck him up without a fight, which it would make sense for him to because Rey was a bigger priority.

Which is probably why Lucas didn't make it so central an element in the prequels. The prophecy was mainly there to justify why Yoda and the others put up with Anakin despite the feelings that Anakin was a potential danger or something they couldn't get a clear read on. The prequels never really say for certain whether Anakin is actually the Chosen One or whether the Jedi accurately read the prophecy and Lucas probably threw the bit about Darth Plagueis being able to create life to do a bit more to the end of creating the right amount of ambiguity necessary to make this Chosen One element work a little better with the OT where it is never mentioned. You can deny that Anakin is the Chosen One yourself and nothing is taken away from either the prequels or the originals as far as Anakin's fall and redemption are concerned. It leaves things a bit open for different interpretations there.

Let's just accept that modern Star Wars will never have proper characters again. It's all about spectacle now regardless of how little sense it makes. That's because character development takes away screentime from all the spectacle and its special effects. Better to just make a villain, a mary sue, and a comic relief, then throw them into wild scenes with non-stop action.

Everything was literally over in a couple of days and she ended up being a Jedi prodigy, the owner of the Millenium Falcon, and savior of the universe.

The ridiculousness of this statement and the fact that this is actually what happened in the movie is astounding.
>>
>>64114291
I would imagine as a storm trooper raised from birth he has battle combat training or else he would never have made it to Jakku. He literally gets tossed around by TR-8R and gets slashed up pretty effortlessly by Ren. Literally Finn swings at him, and Ren just side steps him while swinging his sword around smooth, as if to just toy with him before driving him into a tree and digging his crossguard into his shoulder, knocking the light saber from his hands, and slashing him in the back The pacing sucks but the Finn/Ren fight did not last very long and there was very little sword swinging and it was mostly hack/slashing by both parties.

Was finn slightly overachieving? You could make that argument. But adrenaline and fear of death for himself and Rey (2 massive ball points for Finn's char who wants to run away and save Rey) probably helped him stave off death as long as he did.

Rey on the otherhand was made OP as fuck superwoman demi god force user extraordinaire who has no business doing anything she did in this movie.

You can question whether Anakin's killing Sidious is due to some prophecy or just due to his love for his son and you can question the degree to which the Jedi interpreted the prophecy accurately. And if you watch the prequels, the idea that Anakin is the Chosen One is mostly just Qui Gon's presumption, and one could make the argument that he was wrong. That Anakin' conceived by the midichlorians or not, was more of a curse than a savior. The legend of Plagueis opens one up to the idea that something like Anakin's being conceived by the midichlorians, being "unnatural", doesn't have to be the work of the light side.

Even in that Mortis trilogy part of The Clone Wars, Anakin fucks everything up

He didn't though. He killed one trooper by stabbing him than immediately got his ass kicked by TR-8R. He was completely on the defensive during his fight with Kylo( who was fucking with him the entire time). He managed to get a lucky hit off and was than disarmed and nearly killed.

She's most likely her aunt. At the end of the novel she's mothering Rey right before she goes off to find Luke, and thinks to herself how natural it felt. Plus it's implied multiple times that Ren already knows who Rey is.

That helmet Rey is wearing in the beginning of the movie has 'Raeh" on it, too. I bet Rey isn't even her real name.

He doesn't though. The only blasts he blocked were from the droid.

The problem is that the script clearly originally intended for Poe to stick around.
He would have been the one piloting the falcon. I guess they got rid of him because the film became too "busy"?

Source: no normal human would write a script where the first character we meet disappears and then randomly shows up 1 hour later.

If episode 8 explains Ray's super Jedi powers I won't even be mad about 7. As it stands now, it's just sloppy writing

>Luke is a crack shot
Sort of? He's just not as useless as storm troopers but he doesn't make any amazing shots or anything and kills like 1 or 2 troopers in a crowd after Vader kills Ben and that's about it.

>Good pilot
Established early on as his natural talent that was in line with his father and his hobby

>Jedi Knight
Took 3 films to master, used the force one at the end of 4 and with the help of a strong force user

Also: Whiney cunt for the first movie, overconfident that he can handle Vader and gets his ass handed to him in the second and loses Han go Bobba Fett, only becomes a strong character in 6 and even then he succumbs to anger and becomes fairly brutal with a dark streak in him.

>Han Solo crack shot and good pilot
No shit? He's basically a space cowboy of course he'll be good at what he does for a living on a more than daily basis. Him getting the Princess was just a little reward for him finally coming over being a total selfish prick by the end of the 4th movie and during the 5th.

>Vader good at everything
When did he use a blaster ever? Also he's one the bad guy (which power levels are boosted for so the audience gains some tension when our heroes confront them) and two was previously a Jedi Knight who now works directly as the fist of the Empire giving him more than enough experience in space combat, use of the force, and use of a light saber. Why Padme had to be a queen was just lazy "poetic" writing from George.

>Rey
Good at everything she does in the film on practically her first try at it. The best point of comparison would be to Luke, but Luke even in 4 was training on the ship and was learning lessons from Ben while Rey just ignored any lessons she might learn from Han because "she knows already". What can she learn now? Where does she grow?

TFA is not spelled "prequels", anon.

The weakest prequel, AotC, had at least multiple inventive, visually mind-blowing sequences, involving brand-new fantastic landscapes (Coruscant street traffic, Kamino, Geonosis arena, some parts of Geonosis battle, the clone forces rallying for war in the final shots).

TFA has only wreckage of war on not-Tatooine. Everything else is either lifted wholesale from OT or shit.

The only reason I was worried about Finn was because I heard it was forced diversity from JJ's end which is usually never good, and Attack of the Block was bad imo.

Instead of just picking the best actor for the role. Finn turned out to be pretty good actually, him and Poe were the best new characters and I'm anxious to see what they do with them.

There was a point where Han mentions that Luke was training the next generation of Jedi when something went wrong. That would have been a more interesting follow up to RotJ than this.

in the deleted scenes, she is raped by the stormtroopers for months while anakins' half anakin half darth vader ghost teaches her the force. It's also in the novelization. I have no idea why they took that part out of the movie

And those count. You can't bring up those blasts hitting him as evidence he doesn't have the ability and ignore when he does block them.

>she magically knows what wires are linked to what door
What are you talking about? She tells Han about this piece being added, the compressor. A minutes later when the power is fucking up Han is working on his side of the cockpit, say the electrical systems are fucking up and points Rey at a panel and she says "yeah I can do what you're telling me" then she rips out the added piece. He asks what she did and she says it was just the compressor. Nothing about that scene makes it seem like Rey is better at the Falcon than Han, it's literally only the added piece. Han is in control of the situation giving orders.

I even told you I agree overall faggot, I agree with the argument. How you argue it with dishonest and misrepresented 'facts' is what I take issue with. What you did there was pure George pottery, using the word 'disingenuous' like I did but without any of it's meaning. Calm the fuck down, we agree faggot you're just being shitty about reporting the situations.

She grew up with the Falcon. She spent time learning how parts worked from the Falcon and other ships.

And what's wrong with racism? Everyone is racist.

>>64116152
Rey was basically a slave to the guy who "owned" the Falcon for years. Also in the pre-guide it states Rey spent her free time in a flight simulator. It's like you're purposely finding stupid shit to whine about.

You're really reaching here. Yes, he blocks a few bolts from the training droid. He doesn't actually use this skill in a real situation until Return of the Jedi, though, whereas everything Rey does happens in an actual situation
>>
>>64116652
You mean Han's non-Falcon ship? The one where she pulls the fuse and accidentally releases the monsters? She even says "oops" or something. She closes the door to save Finn at a console. Knowing that pressure doors close on a cargo ship when a fuse goes doesn't seem like crazy obscure knowledge for a star destroyer scavenger to know. Anyway, she very specifically made a mistake with the fuses. She was operating multiple doors open and shut from the fuse box.

>>64116988
Like I said, you're the one that brings up being hit by the bolts. You can't count some of the training droid scene and not the entire thing. I'm happy to just walk away from the whole scene if you are. Really that's my grip with that post anyway, it just includes extra or exaggerated points in with really good, critical and clear points. Just trim that shit back and it makes the entire argument more solid.

Mary Sue damage control in full force.

>>64116373
She beat a trained sith. It might make sense realistically (??) but in terms of making a movie it's just bad writing.

The main bad guy has already been defeated, if he returns he will hardly be a threat.
The film was set up in such a way where they could have had Ren beating Ray but she escapes because of the earthquake /chewie shows up . Then the audience will think "oh boy , how will she defeat him next time"

Now they could have Ren turn good in part 8 or something so it's not a big deal, as it stands now...it's just kind of a let down
>>
>>64116669
Yea
It's bad writing. There was no reason to write him out of the movie for most of it.

Nice headcannon.

She mindtricked a goon and moved a lightsaber. Luke blew up the deathstar with the force in the first movie. Then pulls off some mad (but not prequel mad) athletics and telepathically contacts Leia in the Empire.

The light side of the force gets stronger with a zen-like mind, hence why Luke and to a lesser extent Rey could do cool shit with it. Kylo blew it because he's stuck between light and dark, unable to effectively utilise it using harmony or raw emotion.

Luke earned and worked for his powers. Also he's the son of the most powerful force user in the story.
Solo isn't force sensitive. Also Hutts don't hire amateurs smugglers.
Vader earned and suffered for his abilities. Also he's the Chosen One.

Rey didn't earned her force powers. They simply, suddenly happen on screen. The most appalling part, and I believe the real problem for fans here, is that they happen conveniently too, in a very predictable way, and always in the direst of times. She's a force virgin when the audience is introduced to her. Yet she's even more stupefying than fucking Joan d'Arc.

So yeah, she's pretty much a Mary Sue
>>
Anyone have the side by side pic of why Rey is a mary sue while Luke isn't? I need it for reasons
>>
>>64113385
Luke was never trained in how to mind trick, yet he does it perfectly in RotJ

Who showed him? Obi-Wan didn't train him how to do it, and Yoda just trained him how to lift rocks and suck green dick. He saw Obi-Wan do it once. So obviously Rey heard about the "Jedi mind trick" as Jabba and Watto called it, and tried it out

We literally watched her learn how to do it

She somehow knew about the force allowing you to brainwash other people without having seen or hears about if before.

Luke blew up the death star only because Han prevented darth Vader from shooting him down and obi-wan helped him guide the torpedo into the shaft instead of impacting on the surface.
