>>64195514
At least Luke lost to the villain once.
>>
Not quite
Though at best she's underexplained. More likely it's sloppily written.

While actually watching the movie you get some context to her performing her actions, i.e. Learning to use mind trick only after Kylo fucked up his on her and she resisted.

The only really glaring part was the light saber fight at the end. That was the definition of contrived, right down to the ground splitting apart just perfectly to separate them.

It's fairly safe to assume she's Luke's child. They drop hints at it throughout. As such she's some sort of force savant, so takin that like of logic her powers make sense.

But still, sloppily written.

>>64195667
i'm saying that making kylo as unskilled as he was was a bad idea. if rey can shit on him as easily as she did, what's there to be threatened by? there's no suspense. snoke is a nonentity so far.

kylo could have been just as angry and uncertain as he was, but still be written to win that fight until the gap separated them. would've given the movie a much more tense end.
>>
>>64195634
There has to be more to her than just being a young girl who happens to be strong in the force. The way she resists Kylo instinctively and uses mind trick suggest she's not untrained.
>>
>>64195742
He was a good force user tbf.
>>
>>64195742
I agree. Ending the fight on even terms would have been better, but I guess it was to show that Kylo wasn't as strong as he thought he was. He was also wounded and obviously mentally fatigued both from murdering Han and the fact that Rey resisted his force techniques earlier.
When he says he wants to teach Rey about the Force, it doesn't come of as commanding like Vader did with Luke, he was scared and wanted to end the fight without getting his ass beat. At least that's how I see it.
>>
I'm more pissed that they nerfed a good villain just so the boring heroes can win. It's Darth Maul all over again.

Nearly all clickbait blogs, internet feminists, and SJWs came to her defense, so the answer is yes
>>
>>64195458
No actually, just barely explained
She was trained before or at the very least introduced to the Force. she was also called by it to find the lightsaber and all that stuff
because the force is the strongest power in the galaxy

>>knows droid language

>>knows modifications made to other's ship

She piloted the falcon reluctantly at best. She almost crashed it before it even took off and then struggled to get it stable. It's true that she knows how it works even though she's some lowly scavenger, but that's because it's been there for a few years and it was modified to a system she's familiar with. Being a scavenger and having to know what parts to bother with because your food depends on it can transfer to ship knowledge. Remember, she was at this junkyard since she was like 5, she would pick up on things like mechanic parts and droid and alien language.


>>can find luke's saber without trying

Ok this is the force calling to her typical fantasy shit. Remember, she didn't want anything to do with being a jedi when max explained it to her. She wants to go back to Jakku because she thinks her family is coming back for her. These are flaws a logical character wouldn't have, she's like a child still


>>can force people
She does that out of desperation and after Kylo tried it on her.

>>can fight trained jedi with saber
Her and Finn kept up with a grievously wounded Kylo because they just saw him kill Han and supposedly kill the other. Also why can't it be that Kylo is kinda a shit at fighting? He's already insecure and emotional as fuck.

If she's such an expert pilot, why wait to steal the Falcon because the plot called for it? She she had a brain, why not go off on an adventure and find her family, run into Luke, ect?

Why did they fire Michael Arndt again?
>>
>>64196190
her use of the force is fueled by rage and she's using force powers that she shouldn't be using until she's trained. she's fucking up big time, doing everything in the wrong order and with no guidance.

I think they're saving that for Part 2

She doesn't have any line exchanges with Chewbacca where he grunts and she knows what he's says. I guess this is gonna be awkward for the next movie so you may have a point here if they don't do anything with this.
>>
>>64195580
Im willing to bet his training is far from complete, It sounds like he was denied a lot of training for not giving himself to the darkside completely yet.

That alone would make his force powers limited, but now that he has killed his father and given himself over he will get to complete his training.

Wouldnt be shocked if he isnt in the movie much, its more apart the TFO and the rebels fighting only to see a better trained Kylo come out, maybe with some robotics attached like Vader, but not entirely.
>>
>>64196302
Both Luke and Anakin had 3 movies for their characters to grow, I'm comparing their characters in ANH and TPM respectively.
A 7 year old kid destroys the Trade Federation, and a guy with 0 X-Wing experience pilots it without issue and destroys the Deathstar. It all comes back to their connection to the Force.
>>
>>64196344
have you ever considered the thought that kylo is just a shitty noob sith? snoke probably doesn't know much about the sith since I don't think he trained from palpatine, the last dark lord of the sith.
>>
>>64196371
Because she was still expecting he family to come back any day. She marks literally every day like the next day they're going to come. Also everything you listed is like hindsight, she can't steal the falcon when they're aren't tie fighters attacking and not have any repercussions. She's not an expert pilot she's like an amateur so if the portions guy sends guys to get the falcon back and she's just by herself, what the fuck is she gonna do?

He didn't destroy the Trade Federation. Anakin's power and knack for flying and podracing helped him win. Did you even listen to Qui-Gon? Or were you putting your hands over your ears while saying "BLAH BLAH BLAH TPM SUCKS xD!"

>and a guy with 0 X-Wing experience pilots it without issue and destroys the Deathstar
Both Obi-Wan and Vader knew that there was something different about Luke.

>It all comes back to their connection to the Force.
The fact that Rey lacks any sort of build up prior to her flying the Falcon and doing random feats diminishes this point here. Lucas properly set up Luke and Anakin, while JJ allowed things to happen for Rey.

At the end of part 2 we find out that Rey was Kylo Ren's girlfriend.

They killed the Jedi together but then Rey lost her memory for some reason and ran away. This allows for a big reveal ala Empire in the next movie, gives Kylo and Rey conflict and allows for a strong feminist message for tumblrites because she is beating her evil ex-boyfriend.
>>
>>64196158
I can accept the pilot part even becoming the new falcon owner.

But she can't use the force like that on her first try. Kyle Ren stuck is hand on her face and tryed to suck her knowledge. Then she tries to manipulate people like obi wan even though she never saw people doing that?

Luke had to train for weeks and got wrekt for fighting emotionally and too early. Now she can beat Luke's padawan because Luputa told her to close her eyes and feel?

Defeats the Trade Federation then. Anakin wouldn't have been able to do all that shit without the Force.
>Both Obi-Wan and Vader knew that there was something different about Luke.
And it's obvious Maz knows there's something special about Rey.
>The fact that Rey lacks any sort of build up prior to her flying the Falcon and doing random feats diminishes this point here. Lucas properly set up Luke and Anakin, while JJ allowed things to happen for Rey.
You're right, there isn't much buildup for this, but she does say that she's a pilot. Again it's the same thing for Anakin in TPM who only piloted podracers before, and he's able to reasonable fly a Naboo fighter. Luke has piloting experience sure, but there's a difference between that and then engaging in starship fighting with the Empire.
My point is that all 3 characters does insane shit that would be impossible if they weren't extremely strong in the Force.
Rey lack some development regarding her force powers. The fact that she can mind trick a stormtrooper so easily irked me some.

>>64196757
You realize they're bring back the notion that the force is magic and story telling instead of your power level and skill points in force choke right? Yeah it's a reach, but Obi Wan told Luke to use the force completely vaguely to get an almost impossible bullseye

Luke could fly moderately well, but I don't remember him defeating trained warriors expertly.

>Maz knows there's something special about Rey
The fact that we don't know anything about Maz, or why she has Anakin's lightsaber, makes it difficult to swallow. Might as well have JJ come out and say "hey, audience, this is Rey! She's super strunk!"

Got rekt by the tusken raiders, 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
Needed Han to save him from Vader during the trench run
Piloted competently, didn't do anything the other rebel pilots couldn't do (except aim the torpedo)
Used the force once


>Rey
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
Instantly liked by everyone
Instantly trusted by the Resistance to go on a mission to find Luke, even though they barely knew her
Can speak Droid and Wookie fluently

The hype will make people defend it like crazy for a few months.
Look at the Marvel movies. When they come out they are typically the best thing ever then six months to a year later everyone realizes they weren't that good. Its the Disney way.

Luke use of the force is the equivalent of hitting a half court shot in basketball with out much practice. Difficult, lucky, but not impossible.

Rey using the force to win a lightsaber duel is like her beating an NBA player in a 1 on 1 game with litter practice even if the NBA player is tired. Its basically impossible.
>>
>>64196908
Luke is very inexperienced, having had a safe childhood with family and friends. Rey has lived on her own and had to survive by herself and picked up a lot of skills doing so. The fact that she's combat proficient gives her a huge advantage from the start.
And without Finn helping her on Jakku on the Falcon she wouldn't have survived.
>>
>>64197087
>cherry picked
Not him, but it's not cherry picking at all. If you even watched A New Hope, you can see clearly that Luke's very green, while Rey, in TFA, should be leading general in a top army.

It's more like beating an NBA player in a 1 on 1 when he has a broken ankle and his parents died on their way to the stadium.
>>
>>64195514
Probably bait but he literally does nothing in the first movie. The most he does is convince Han to save Leia until the final moment

It would almost be like if Luke met obi-wan, and then proceeded to find Han, drive the Millennium Falcon, save Leia, fight of vader in melee combat and then destroy the death star
>>
>>64197130
>And without Finn helping her on Jakku on the Falcon she wouldn't have survived.
Had she stole the Falcon prior to Finn's retreat, she would've made it out alive and started her adventure. The story clearly established that she didn't need a mentor or a friend to help her escape. She was just waiting for dindu to help her move along because the plot called for it.

Did you not see him effortlessly force pushing her against a tree and Finn had to fight him off?

A couple of unarmed thugs, against a skilled and armed person.

She made a pretty damn good shot.

That's bullshit, when those weird alien things got released she knew exactly which wires connected to which doors without having any blueprints. Most electrical engineers can't pull that shit off. She screws up once and it only benefits her

>Escapes from the restraints but has nowhere to go

After overpowering her captor with the force. Her captor who, by the way, trained under Luke for years. Even though just a short while ago she barely knew anything about the force.

>super saiyan jedi mode pulled straight out of your ass

It was. She just miraculously becomes way better than before.

You mean retconning. OT still had it that you needed training, which is why Vader wanted to complete Luke's training, and why Luke got his ass handed to him by Vader. It's fucking bullshit that a complete novice can beat someone with more experience, again Vader vs. Luke proves it.

How did she know exactly which wires connected to which doors if she did the wrong doors?

>After overpowering her captor with the force. Her captor who, by the way, trained under Luke for years. Even though just a short while ago she barely knew anything about the force.
Kylo trained with Luke in jedi skills, his sith training is mediocre at best and he's dealing with an internal struggle.

>It was. She just miraculously becomes way better than before.
It's called "using the force". She wasn't using it at the start but when Kylo mentions it she remembers to calm herself and use it. They could not have made this any clearer in the movie.

I'm willing to bet that she was in training under Luke, and that he sent her to "Totally Not Tatooine" to live with "Totally not Ben Kenobi" so that she would be safe from the rampage of Kylo.

He didn't guide anything, he just judged it after encouragement from Obi Wan, like he'd been doing all his life bullseyeing womprats back home. Force sensitives are known to have inherent talents when it comes to enhanced reflexes and intuition, but to use advanced abilities like mind tricks and telekinesis they've always needed some training. Also Luke had spent a lot of time with Yoda before he faced Vader.

Actually just watched it and...I'm not really feeling the Mary Sue so much as a case of "Protagonist Syndrome"

She's got her specialty, that being all things tech, but honestly her Force shit in this wasn't all that incredible. She has a vision that scares the shit out of her. She pushes back Rey's mind reading attempt. She JMT's one stormtrooper and it almost doesn't work. She uses the force to grab her lightsabre. She wins a fight against a whiny Vader fanboy (who is incidentally the son of the least force-sensitive member of the family and a space hobo).

And that's it. It's not that she's a mary sue, but that you cocksucks are blowing what she managed to do out of proportion. If she had done less than Luke in ANH (Which she does, in many respects) you would have griped about her being incompetent, since she did a little more you're bitching about her being omnipotent instead.

It's literally impossible to please you fuckers.
>>
>>64198046
>For what purpose? Why would she still a piece of junk ship that she could barely fly just to leave a planet for no reason?
To find her family. If she had a brain, and knew that they wouldn't come back (remember the Force vision and Daisy's "acting"), she could've just stole it and leave the backwater planet to start her life and adventure.

She flew the Falcon just fine, anon. Keep in mind that had she left the planet prior to dindu's arrival, she wouldn't have been chased by TIE fighters.

>as far as kylo returning to snoke, he's already established as being on par with the heroes. training isn't going to suddenly turn him into a vader tier master.
He's above on par with the heroes, he needed to be severely wounded for them to put up a fight, plus it was a 2v1. They'll train and he'll train and he'll still be a significant threat. Hux didn't really do anything but the point is that the First Order isn't crippled just because they lost one super weapon, they still have all their important leaders and plenty of resources/soldiers.

They fucking grabbed their throats as they stepped back. They were purposefully making the parralel between Vader and Luke. Fucking retard.

>She flew the Falcon just fine, anon

If the movie loves poetry, I'm sure Rey would've wanted to leave Jakku because of her hope/motivation of finding her family. Think back to Luke and his thirst for leaving Tatooine because something big was waiting for him outside of that hell hole of a planet. It makes little sense as to why Rey wanted to stay on Jakku when she has the means of escape due to the Falcon and her apparent piloting skills. She's only staying there because the script's calling for it and she needs to find and meet dindu.

>Almost crashing before you get off the ground is just fine? Sure she eventually got the hang of it, but she wouldn't have known that before attempting it. She didn't even want to take it to begin with and only did because she was forced to.
Think back to Han Solo and his attempt at landing the Falcon. For someone who understands and flew the Falcon for decades, I'm sure rust and/or nerves plays a long way. Now we haven't seen Rey fly the Falcon prior to then, but it's clear that she has piloting skills. Once her nerves cleared, she did just fine.

And she was forced to because the script said so. Otherwise, any normal Human being would've ran to it faster than the speed of light with hopes of escape.

Let's all agree to stop calling her a Mary Sue if Disney stops calling it Episode 7.

If this is some fanfict alternate universe where the rules of previous films do not apply, I'll stop calling her a Mary Sue. I'll accept that, in this version of Star Wars, it's possible for an awakened force user to suddenly become skilled in the use of force and saber control.

He barely manage to pull it when it's 4 inch away, and that's because if he doesnt he's gonna die in 5s

Rey do a complete mind control just to get out of jail AND THEN do a force pull 40 meters away that happen to override the forcepull of Kylo

It's like a terrible fanfiction with a 200m budget

So she's supposed to give up on any realistic chance at seeing her family again so she can go off on an adventure alone for no reason? So fucking stupid. Her entire goal is to see her family again, wandering around the universe with no idea where to look will not help her achieve that goal.
