Do people actually not think that Rey is a mary-sue? What's their reasoning?
She's too perfect to be a mary sue.
She kind of is, since she's perfect and talented at everything and thrust upon this extravagant journey that the writer wishes he were on.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter because she's not really the protagonist. Finn is. Rey is kind of like a human mcguffin. Finn needs to get her from point A to point B so that she can find Luke's lightsaber and become the great Jedi that she was meant to be.
I get people that think she got too many pats on the back, not the ones that think she's already flawless and can't grow as a character in the next two movies.

What happened with Rey was the writers wanted to make her a strong female character because "lack of diversity and feminism" except they went overboard and made her too strong, hence becoming a Mary Sue.
She could've been a cool strong female character, had they toned her exceptional skills down and made her have some flaws, y'know, like most strong male and female characters.
>>64911077
What if she is actually into Wookies?

It's like it was written by a Tumblrina
>>64910894
She's a Mary Sue the same way Harry Potter and Spider-man are Mary Sues. It doesn't really bother me at all; the way Luke saved the day after learning what the Force was like 4 days before using it to blow up the Death Star is the same deal.
>>64911180
Not in the slightest, Luke didn't have any of the "abilities" Rey had in NH, that's bullshit
>>64911077
What does the S stand for in Rey S. Mixer?
>>64910894
She fucks up multiple times, isn't even a good shot.
Also "Mary Sue" is a fucking stupid concept in a series about ace pilots and Jedi Knights. Poe can fly anything and Luke blew up the Death Star on his first try.
how can she be a mary sue when it wasnt written by a girl?
a mary sue is when a writer creates this persona for themselves through the film.
like kristen stewart in twilight, shes a mary sue
>>64911214
He was just able to hit a tiny target while moving at super sonic speeds without the aid of targeting computers by using the force. No biggie. Way less Mary Sue than beating an injured guy in a fight.
>>64911260
Or piloting the Millennium falcon better than Han, or being able to use the Jedi mind trick after three attempts, or somehow being able to use a light saber without training, which took Luke a long time, sure
>>64911236
Doesn't matter, it was purposeful written that way by writers who had an agenda or were forced to by people who had an agenda

She's literally a female luke. Is luke a gary sue?
>>64911172
>needs no training to handle a light saber
Neither did Han. She did know how to handle her staff, but it also translated clumsily because you can see that most of her fighting is in retreat (compare to Finn, who likely had melee training as a stormtrooper and seems pretty capable with the lightsaber, though perhaps not as elegant as he would be if he was a Jedi).
>grasps the force better than any other character first introduced to it
Seems pretty regular for any other Force sensitive, honestly. The only reason why Luke couldn't pick up that damn X-Wing was because he thought it was impossible. He got in his own way. But she's a believer.
>apparently flies the millennium falcon better than Han
I'm sorry, who's the one who got through the Starkiller's shield by passing through it at lightspeed, coming out just soon enough not to smash into the fucking planet? Yeah. That's right. Han fucking Solo. She could barely get it to fly straight at first, and then the best she did was fly into a busted up Stardestroyer. Something both Han and Lando could do. The only thing she could do with the Falcon was know her way around the modifications made since he owned it.
>I DONT NEED NO MAN
She was abandoned on a goddamn scavenger planet, she didn't think she needed anyone. Notice she changes tone once she thinks Finn's going to leave her behind, though.
So fuck you and your bitchy rhetoric.
>>64911214
Luke was a bumpkin who didn't even know about the Force until Obi-Wan had to explain it to him.
All relevant jedi's could be considered mary sues. You can just say everything they do is thanks to the force. They are both psychic and use telekinesis which gives them an edge in absolutely everything.
This does not apply to fodder jedi of course.

Honestly ive debunked so many rey defenders its become an exercise in futility, truly some unbelievably dumb motherfuckers. Hell its like half the fucktards haven't watched the original saga
>>64911338
He never even attempts that stuff in the first film, which doesn't mean he doesn't have the power. I was listening to the Red Letter Media commentary on Return of the Jedi and Mike made a point that the "training" aspect of the force was always intended to be a spiritual guidance more than a literal training. It isn't years of standing in front of a laser ball training with a lightsaber that helped Luke defeat Vader, it was Luke learning that Vader was his father and learning to tap into his own ability. TFA uses this conception of the force, not the prequel one.
>>64911397
Daily reminder if Luke was like Rey in A New Hope.
*Luke is an expert survivalist living on his own in Tatooine. He isn't subservient to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. He loyally waits for a lost companion to return.
*Luke steals R2-D2 from a Tusken Raider on a Bantha who has captured R2-D2. The Tusken just watches and rides away.
*Luke can understand everything R2-D2 says. C-3PO is written out since he's not needed to translate.
*R2-D2 follows Luke around obediently instead of running away and generally just thinks Luke's awesome.
*Luke meets Obi-Wan and tells him he's just a nobody and didn't even know the Force was real. Obi-Wan hands Luke his father's saber and then disappears from the movie. No training required.
*Luke experiences a "vision" upon touching the saber for unexplained reasons. Magic lightsaber?
*Luke enters the Cantina and knocks down Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan with a stick when they threaten him.
*Luke finds the Falcon with only Chewie inside as TIE Fighters start bombing the area. He jumps in and flies it with some wild maneuvers through Beggar's Canyon while Chewie works the gun port. They destroy the TIEs and return to get Han.
>>64911017
This.
>>64910894
I think that now her being a Mary Sue isn't really about her being a Mary Sue or not, it's about how people use that to talk about TFA or the new sequel trilogy in general.
If someone is saying she's a Mary Sue and it was either a flaw in a good movie or one of the straws that just added up to a disappointing movie, fine.
If someone says she's a Mary Sue and therefore TFA is ruined just for that or it means the next two movies have no where to go because she's all powerful then I'm gonna contest that.
Then there are people that call Fury Road feminist propaganda and say Mary Sue Rey has ruined what Star Wars was always about, the hero's (not heroine's) journey, with her bullshit liberal agenda. They'll start talking about the jews and how terrible Boyega is in the movie. It's best to ignore those people.
>>64910894
I want her
>>64911581
*Chewie is injured while running from Stormtroopers to get to the Falcon and Luke takes over as co-pilot.
*Luke fixes the Falcon's malfunctions by himself before Han can figure out what to do.
*Han is so impressed with Luke that by the time they get to the remains of Alderaan, he offers Luke a permanent job.
*They sneak into the back door of the Death Star unnoticed and somehow instantly find Leia's cell.
*Luke uses the Jedi Mind Trick on the guards at Leia's cell to get inside. (First time the Jedi Mind Trick appears in the movie.)
*Leia says Luke is amazing, thanks him and won't stop talking about wanting to run away with him and devote herself to helping him. Luke is not interested and says he just wants to be friends.
*Han somehow instantly finds the head Stormtrooper Commander and says he'll kill him if he doesn't shut down the tractor beam. The Stormtrooper Commander complies and they throw him in the trash compactor.
*Darth Vader finds the heroes. Luke watches as Han Solo confronts Darth Vader and is killed.
*Luke attacks Darth Vader and holds his own. He drops his saber but he is able to Force grab it before Vader can. (First time Force grab is seen in the movie.) Vader offers to train Luke. Luke lands several blows on Vader and cuts off his hand while remaining unscathed and Vader collapses in a heap. But there is an explosion that ruptures the platform between them and Luke must join Leia, Chewie and R2 back on the Falcon.
*Meanwhile, Wedge leads a small squad to do a bombing run on the Death Star. He easily hits the target without facing much resistance or even thinking about it much and the Death Star blows up.
*Luke officially joins the Rebellion at the end of the movie and is instantly selected to pilot a ship on a vital mission they've been waiting years to do. Their best pilot who just blew up the Death Star, Wedge, is passed over.
>>64911544
At this point I am just assuming it's bait
>>64911260
Luke would have died, hadn't Han come back to shoot the TIE's and Vader at his tail
He didn't truly blow it up all by himself

>>64911581
Daily reminder that everyone hated ANH Luke because he was a whiny bitch. It's really only after TFA, and really only on here that anyone is praising ANH Luke. Go ask your parents about it, people liked Luke but he outright annoying for the first half of the movie.

>>64911920
>No, he saw Kenobi do it with the stormtrooper at Mos Eisley
Did you miss the part where Kenobi disappears from the movie, or do you just not get the whole point of the post?
The Rey Mary Sue thing stems from 2 things imo:
1) JJ and the other writers creating her character with the intent that her arc would play out over three films, not one. So you get abilities that can't be explained in the context of one film, i.e. her force sensitivity.
2) We hardly see Rey struggle in TFA because she's always in her element. Sure she comes up against adversity but she's never really challenged; everything plays into her previous skillset, so she appears to be a God at everything.
So in the end I can see why people would label her a Mary Sue, but I'm withholding judgement until Ep 8 drops next year.
>>64912222
I think a lot of how VII will be remembered depends on VIII making good on the questions we've been left with.
>>64912222
Hey mate guess what, to create a functioning movie, especially the first in a trilogy, the things in it need to make sense without a shit load of outside information from other sources. Stop making excuses for JJ being a hack kike
>>64912103
>implying TFA was badly written
>>64912300
No shit. I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. I wasn't making excuses, I'm just trying to get to the crux of the issue.
>>64912281
agreed
My friend thinks she won the duel against Ren because Kylo was out of practice, having never had a proper opponent since he rebelled. I explained to her how this makes no sense because Rey had literally never practiced with, never even held, a lightsaber before. She then said something about Rey being "attuned to the force", whatever that means.
>>64912333
>implying it wasn't
I'm sorry that I don't buy bogongos character moaning about bloodshed, who then proceeds to gleefully murder his first dozen humans in the tie fighter escape scene, humans who he had grown up around for decades and surely heavily empathised with considering he was in their position minutes before. Oh wait no he's cheering. Good writing huh?
>>64912451
What else did you expect to happen in a Star Wars movie? The stormtroopers exist to be killed.

>>64912574
Then maybe they should have made their former stormtrooper character have even an ounce of his personality or actions make sense. But that just all relates back to me being right about the writing sucking massive cock
>>64911408
explain the part where she just magically fixes the millenium falcon when even Han doesn't know how

Has anyone been to UD and seen the definitions for Mary Sue? It's hilarious because just about everyone of the definitions gets downvote to hell and back

ITT: a bunch of retards arguing about a main character that obviously needs to be superior in almost everything, thats why she is a main character. Faggots.
>>64912953

Same argument for ren, fuck you
>>64912953
ITP: a retard who think that because its a main character its OK to be a Mary Sue
Just because she's an epic hero does not mean its OK to write her as one step below a Jedi Master after she just learned about it
>>64912953
I uses to think capeflicks were fine, but now I see dunces like you thinking, because you're used to shitty characters having omnicompetence that its to be expected.
Luke got his ass kicked all over IV, V, and even in VI needed his daddy to save him from sheev. That he needed help, that he couldn't do everything on his own, that made him great.
>>64911083
This. Everything was always too convenient.
>>64910894
The only inexplicable mary sue part is piloting falcon perfectly desu
>>64911083
Exactly like Furiosa
>>64913450
Right, her mastering a light saber or Jedi mind tricks with no guidance or training, yeah never mind those
>>64911338
>or somehow being able to use a light saber without training
To be fair, she looked like she was retreating or running away in the fight. And the emo dude was injured. I wouldn't call her light saber skills amazing.
I didn't like how everything was too convenient (she knows what buttons to push and shit like that). She's more of a mcguffin I guess.
>>64913559
Kylo Ren had considerably more training with a light saber than Rey, he made his own saber for fucks sake, your argument is as leaky as a bucket with a hole in it
>>64911422
>All relevant jedi's could be considered mary sues
Dubs prove this is the truth.
>>64913559
So in the pursuit of a strong female protagonist, they jewed up a female protagonist that you best compare to a literal plot device/object. Truly we have gone full circle
>>64913514
She knows how to fight with a staff, learning swordfighring from therw is not rocket science. And for what we know Kylo Ren never fought a ligĥtsaber wielding opponent in a 1 on 1 duel, this probably was jis first serious fight. Kylo also probed her mind, she applied that experience in reverse, it's not really inexplicable too.
I don't consider her a mary sue, since I always thought that meant being a self-insert for the author as opposed to a character which was simply too perfect (which are completely separate things). However, she's much to good at everything to be interesting at all, to the point where her continual success at things actually deprives her of opportunities to be characterized. That was hardly a problem specific to her character, though; none of the characters were developed very well
Name 3 things she is bad at, I will wait.
>>64913650
Nigger kylo is clearly shown to have led and taken part in the destruction of Luke's Jedi, again you don't have shit
>>64910894
She raiser herself on a desert world where the only way to make a living is to sell scrap for cheap.
Luke was raised by his aunt and uncle and didn't have to do shit.
Do you understand now?
>>64913650
So explain how fighting with a staff, which is a completely different weapon, would make her proficient with a light saber?
>>64913650
>And for what we know Kylo Ren never fought a ligĥtsaber wielding opponent in a 1 on 1 duel
He killed everyone is Luke's jedi academy.
>>64913473
Except Furiosa has the excuse of spending the last twenty years surviving and clawing her way to the rank of Imperator and still gets her shit wrecked.
>>64912992
I fucking love how pathetic Ren is. His tantrums are hilarious to watch.
>>64913650
>>64913699
He had his knights with him, and aince he had to build his junksaber the way it is, his and other students' education never got to lightsabers.
Forgot to add, Ren was also injired and exhausted.
>>64913700
>and didn't have to do shit.
Tatooine was a desert shithole run by gangsters so it's not like he had a cushy life.

>>64913612
Like I said, I remember Ren being injured and fighting the other guy first before dealing with Rey, plus he just killed his father. I wouldn't say he's in his 100% form.
And like I said, Rey looked like she was retreating more than fully facing him.
That fight is the only thing I can ignore. The rest really does make Rey feel like a mary sue, especially the Falcon scene.
>>64913742 -> >>64913776
>>64913765
Ren was easily the best part of the movie. That's the whole point, that he is Vader wannabe, not Vader expy. You were expecting Vader 2.0 and that why you don't like him.

This. The only valid complaint someone could have about Kylo would be him losing the final fight, but that's just bad mary sue writing. He is shown to be very skilled in Finn's fight.

>>64910894
She's a woman so any criticism, even a valid one, is literally the equivalent of declaring a war on all women
>>64914051
You're right, he's probably not the final villain, but the reason why you perceive Ren as pathetic and terrible is because of JJ, he already said in interviews that he based Ren's character design off of keyboard Warriors and trolls/contrarian neckbeards, not even joking that's what he used as his inspiration for Kylo Ren
are you nerds still talking about Star Wars ?
>>64913695
1- she was kind of a bad shot
2- Obvious emotional problems, wouldnt even let Finn hold her hand to pull her away from danger and savin her life.
3- She was overconfident in her mechanical skills, she fucked up and let out those tenticle monsters.
4- She ran away from what is cleary her destiney. A lightsaber literally called out the her and gave her visions, and her reaction is to run crying into the woods like a little bitch. Only to get caught and thus her destiney is forced upon her.

>>64914349
Do you think her emotional problems were caused by Luke raping her?
>>64914349
Anon when you post pics like that it devalues your already lacking arguments by making your waifu defense force faggotry blatant.
>>64914286
I went to the movie without knowing anything. It's a miracle I knew so little about fucking Star Wars. I didn't know JJ directed it or that Kylo Ren was inspired by keyboard warriors/trolls.
It's just that after watching the movie, Ren just gives off the vibe of being very bad at being bad. He did say he still has a little "light" in him and he's struggling with that.
Again, I'm mo Star Wars nerd, but I'm really hopingRey turns bador some shit like that
>>64913712
>proficient
>implying she wasn't on defense the entire fight, only at the end unbalancing Kylo which allowed her to injure him
>>64911821
this tbqh senmpai senpai
plus, kylo paralyzes and knocks her out without effort in their first encounter
>>64914349
I thought the hand holding was more of a joke that Finn is the one who is scared and needs to hold her/someone's hand, rather than some hint at emotional problems.
>>64914535
Finn confirmed for superior waifu
>>64914349
>Obvious emotional problems, wouldnt even let Finn hold her hand to pull her away from danger and savin her life
Not a problem according to feminist
>She was overconfident in her mechanical skills, she fucked up and let out those tenticle monsters.
Her mechanical skills was good enough for her fly on the Falcon better than Han Solo ever did.
>>64914571
His hips are magnificent.
A writer from essence street I knew once told me the parrels of intentionall writing a ground-breaking character. Socio-political dogma bleeds through because of public opinion, so they adapt to meet that. Cookie Monster had to be retooled because of bitching about eating disorders/addiction, Oscar had to be developed as liking garbage instead of being homeless/poor, and they've actively started to embrace Bert and Ernie being gay joke for representation in the gay community.
Where I'm going with this is the decision to make Rey a female they were committing (intentionally) to a Mary Sue character. Reason being any normal character flaw would be offensive. Can't pilot? Then she's part of the "women can't drive" joke or is t a genius with tech in a technowonderland? They'd botch that she's stupid, if she can't fight they'll be offended she's portrayed as weak an on and on. So what you have is a character that actually can't have any flaws at the end of the day, because they'd rather have people objecting over "nothing" than something a human rights group can file a motion over.
Seriously, this was all anticipated and she is what she is.
>>64913795
my point was at least he had a family and safe place to live. they make it clear in TFA Rey basically just roams around pretty much.
>>64914449
I really could not care less what you think, im just using this thread as a undercover waifu thread, no shame had here. Just dont want to get warned/banned again for by senor hotpockets.
>>64914426
To be fair to Rey, crazy ass aliens probably harass and try to rape her all the time, so she likely very defensive. But still, guy is freaking out saying your in danger and trying to help you and you give him shit for it, kind of a bitch move.

http://www.themarysue.com/the-force-awakens-gatekeepers/
>>64914349
You're really stretching to include "the refusal of the call" and "overconfidence" as a weakness. Her naivety or inexperience don't seem to effect her actions, and that's unrealistic and takes the audience out, im glad you like her and put the blinders on but most people have their own sensibility.
The fact alone that I never heard the term "Mary Sue" ever applied to any female power character before this, and now it's such a dominant attribute, indicates to me that she fulfills the description adequately
not the converse, which Reyfags tend to imply
I just don't like this character, maybe a good director will have a pair of balls with episode 8 and flesh her out better
at this point she seems like a 13 year old fat little tumblrites Star Wars fantasy
>>64914578
Her mechanical skills was good enough for her fly on the Falcon better than Han Solo ever did.
Fucking nope, she clearly almost crashed several times and only had like 2 tie fighters on her. Han flew the Falcon during the assault on the death star, a waaaay more impressive feat than what Rey did. She did seem to know how it works better than him, but flying skills Han was still way superior.

And yea, she is way too good of a jedi too quickly. But so was Luke and /tv/ jerks it hard over him. Regardless its a space opera about space wizards who fight with energy swords and magic powers, dont take it too seriously faggots.

I fucking HATE her nose.
I'm not sure why, it's just distracting to me and I dint like it. Maybe it's because the rest of her face is so plain. IDK, but I can't be the only one.
Anyway, besides that she's fine in my book.
>>64915044
>and so was Luke
That is complete bullshit, it took training with Yoda and Degoba to have any of the Force abilities Rey had
>>64915044
Luke was shite and a bit of a chronic fuckup until he suddenly got mad offscreen character development between ESB and ROTJ
>>64913852
In ANH Luke was a whiny little bitch who just wanted to fly around and shoot shit and maybe join the rebellion. He had no patience and because of that had trouble grasping the force. In the trench run the only reason he came out on top was because of Han saving his ass, otherwise he was probably a lot worse than the other X-Wing pilots there, he just got lucky. He doesn't really beat anyone, often he's the one being beaten or has to watch while someone saves him. He is quite clearly the student only just beginning to learn in ANH (just as the viewer is only just beginning the Star Wars series).
By RotJ he resolves these character flaws, to stand the ultimate test versus his father who once followed a similar path.
>>64915094
i agree on the nose part.
her ears are also kinda gross. and when she smiles and shows those huge dickchomping teeth, when her lips turn into fucking snake lips, i hate that too.
anyway, 5/10 i banged hotter in college but would still give her the D
luke was ten times worse.
>>64915113
>That is complete bullshit, it took training with Yoda and Degoba to have any of the Force abilities Rey had
Objectively false.
Luke had been made aware he had the force just hours before he used it to destroy the Death Star, which is a more impressive task than Rey beating a mortally wounded and semi-psychologically traumatized Kylo Ren.
Also, pretty much any force ability Luke leaves Degobah with he already had, as we see him use them on Hoth. His training with Yoda only focused his powers.
The prequel logic of needing months and months to years of training to be proficient with the force is out the window. We're back to the basics.
>>64915083
>>64915113
>>64915115
Luke was able to force grab his lightsaber early in ESB, before his yoda training, and he had barely any training from Obi.
And you all seem to forget they are HEAVILY implying that Rey had some sort of training already. Her past and parentage are a mystery for a reason, a obvious big twist in the next movie. While shity story telling, it can be a excuse for her already developed jedi powers.
Now look at her small white girl butt faggots
>>64914796
>She did seem to know how it works better than him, but flying skills Han was still way superior.
shit like this bugs me. other anons in other threads said this is explained by her being a tech manual sperg, and reading about that shit makes sense ( i doubt Han was much on book learning, more of a street smarts guy). but this is buried in some side promotional material or novel, and shouldnt be. Show, don't tell. The movie should be complete itself and not need extra material to make sense.
>>64915313
For completely different reasons though. He was an annoying whiny manlet who needed other people to bail him out all the time.
>>64915206
>I banged hotter in college
I'm always tempted to raise an eyebrow when I hear this phrase because anyone that has graduated from college knows sex is easier to obtain AFTER college.
>>64915370
You're forgetting that Han is not a pilot. He's a smuggler.
He doesn't even fly the falcon, Chewie does.
>>64915345
I'm not even going to entertain your weak justification

>>64910938

>>64915044
Luke was a pretty shit Jedi in all 3 movies m8. His biggest triumph was probably destroying the Deathstar because he did it by himself. He only beat Vader because he got angry and was close to falling to the dark side. Then got BTFO by Sheev and had to be saved by daddy.
The biggest problem with Rey is that her skills are more or less unexplained. I mean it's not far fetched that she's a skilled mechanic, given she works with mechanical parts everyday to get food. It's not unrealistic that she's a skilled fighter since we see her staff, and she beats up a couple of thugs. Her piloting skills may be because she had spent some time in space ships and got the basics of them, maybe did some sims on the crashed destroyer, and because of the Force. But it's all rather unexplained. I hope she has better character development in the next movie.
>>64915344
Wow Luke believed in himself and used the force to shoot one blast accurately when he was already known to be a good shot
If it was Rey she would have jumped off the X-Wing and beat Vader in a lightsaber fight and then thrown Sheev into a pit and blew up the death star without anyone giving her any advice
>>64915461
>Han doesn't fly the Falcon
are you fucking retarded?

>>64915519
>because he did it by himself
After Han saved his ass from getting destroyed and Obi Wan piped in to tell him to use the force.
The only major accomplishment Luke can take full credit for is getting Vader to renounce the dark side.
>>64915542
>Wow Luke believed in himself and used the force to shoot one blast accurately when he was already known to be a good shot
He had never even flown an X Wing before.
He made a super precise shot with zero targeting equipment. Even Vader, a veteran Sith Lord, flying around behind him was impressed by his connection to the force.
What Rey accomplishes is far less impressive because it's established before she beats Kylo that he's pretty shit. Boyega scores a hit on him.

fucking retarded redditor
>>64915370
>Show, don't tell.
Well, when we first see her she is scavaging a big ass ship, so we see she knows ships really well, since that is literally her life. Also she clearly knew about the Falcon, she knew how it changed hands and ended up in that desert parking lot. She called it garbage, implying that she was somewhat knowlable about the workings of it to declare it bad. Also was impressed when she learn it was THE Millenium Falcon.
Its really not that much of a stretch for someone who was literaly raised on a ship scrapyard, to know alot about ships. If you were raised in a junkyard/ garage, youd have a pretty good working knowlege of cars

She released them so they could have an action scene and also it ended up saving everyone.

She ran away from her destiny in one scene for about a minute. It was short lapse of judgement. I would give you this one as a legitimate flaw but she only did this once and instantly got over it in the next scene and it was never brought up again.
>>64915647
Yeah, but HE took the shot, sure he had some help, but he was the only one who could do it because the Force helped him.
>The only major accomplishment Luke can take full credit for is getting Vader to renounce the dark side.
That's true of course.
>>64915707
>She called it garbage, implying that she was somewhat knowlable about the workings of it to declare it bad.
BS, Luke called the MF a hunk of junk and he wasn't knowledgable about the working of the MF.
>>64915712
coming from the virgin talking out of his ass
>>64915696
Luke had never flown an X Wing before.
He had pilot experience with land crafts.
Rey had never used a lightsaber before but she does have combat experience with melee weapons, as demonstrated earlier in the movie.
It's the same fucking thing, only Luke's target wasn't mortally wounded.
Stop trying to shove your /pol/ logic into this argument. I agree that TFA is was too SJW influenced for my liking, but the idea that what Rey does is unheard of in this franchise is beyond false.
>>64910894
She doesn't resemble JJ Abrams so why would you think she is his self-insert
>>64914926
Well he is supposed to be a faggot
>>64910894
Rey is the daughter of Luke Skywalker. Notice how close the hug with Leia was despite only meeting her ONCE? Almost blood related no? As if its a long lost aunt.
Luke force wiped her mind and tried to hide her. She was the second force child that Luke was trying to train.
She is the 1st cousin of Kylo Ren a.k.a Ben Solo. Why else would Anakin/Luke's blade go only to Rey and not Kylo when force pulled? Simple it responded to the bloodline of Jedi Skywalkers. Leia doesn't count with Ben because she wasn't a Jedi but she was force sensitive.
I'm glad that the new movies are taking chunks of the EU from Old Republic and New Republic era's but I REALLY want to see Coruscant in the next movie and space battles.

>>64915761
Luke didnt work at a garage where the MF was sitting for years. Rey probably had to clean the Falcon and shit.
>>64915870
Even if she was revealed to be Luke's daughter which is likely it still makes her a boring Mary Sue in this movie
The real crime in TFA is JJ Abrams shit directing style
>>64910894
The whole complaint is a retarded maymay that you nerds probably just learned from Max Landis. There are lots of protagonists who aren't incapable of doing things. A Mary Sue is someone who is fucking perfect and doesn't stress and says some too-perfect comebacks every time they get into a fight that they easily win. Protagonist from Taken is a lot closer to a Mary Sue than Rey is.
>Unlike standard Mary Sue trope, we are provided contextual exposition that explains why she knows a lot about mechanical engineering, spacecraft, and how to defend herself.
>Unlike standard Mary Sue trope, she's constantly running for her life, running away, trying not to get killed, sweating her ass off, extremely distressed, and spends half the movie rejecting that she's a hero at all. That ain't a Mary Sue.
>Now that we have screeners, the idea that she "kicked Kylo's ass" is dead. He spends the entire time beating the shit out of her, until he gives her time to consider his job offer, in which she has a "use the force" moment exactly like her father, and is briefly able to overcome an impossible obstacle. Pretty standard protagonist trope.
>Another common buttwhine is that "everyone likes her." Which is pretty fucking stupid when you watch the movie. Fucking nobody likes her on Jakku. Her boss rips her off and exploits her labor, she's constantly bickering at or being bickered at, and constantly having to defend herself from people trying to fuck her over. The fact that she has a common bond with fellow orphan Finn while they are forced to work together so as to not die doesn't make her a Mary Sue. And the fact that Han doesn't hate her after she proves she can be helpful doesn't make her a Mary Sue either.
>Other complaint I've seen is that Leia hugs her before chewie. When you rewatch it Rey walks out first and walks directly to Leia looking sad. It's not like Liea steps around Chewie. And it's likely that Rey is her niece or some shit.

>>64915902
>Aside from the projection of the writer,
But that's the only thing that would make her a Mary Sure.
Otherwise she is just a poorly written character.
The reason people defend Luke's accomplishments as being more realistic given his level of training is because for every accomplishment there are scenes that show him struggling and growing as not only a Jedi but as a person which humanizes the shit out of him. You look at him in ANH and see a naive kid fucking about trying not to get his shit wrecked. He spends half his time in the Dagobah scenes trying and failing to prove himself. He comes off as annoying sometimes but still very much a humanized and sympathetic character.
Even if it's revealed that Rey had Jedi training and went through her own fair share of trials, it still damages her as a character as of now because we're given all of this shit and expected to just accept it because she's the protag.

Pretty much this. Yes Luke blows up the deathstar and does some cool stuff in episode 6 too but in general he mostly fails. So it's that much better when he finally does something right.

>Fucking nope, she clearly
First off new friend learn to quote.
Secondly she jumped into the Falcon and 2 seconds later was flying with pretty fucking great skill. Then she knew more about the mechanics of the Falcon then Han. That's retarded.
Everything came waaaaaay too easy for her.
She does the Jedi mind trick, beats Emo Vader. There's ZERO growth.
Luke was a whiny bitch for 2 movies. Fucking up and struggling with the force. It wasn't until Jedi, 3 films later, that he kicked ass.
It's called character development.

Well done for not falling back on the dumb 'Luke blew up the Death Star on his own using the force' defence. Still some bits I'd take issue with, though:
>briefly able to overcome an impossible obstacle. Pretty standard protagonist trope.
But it's an OTT example, compared to previous Star Wars movies. We've never previously had a newbie beat a dark-sider with just one moment of concentration.
>Fucking nobody likes her on Jakku, etc.
It's about the main characters, not random nobodies. Han, Leia and Yoda were all unimpressed by Luke. The Jedi council was unimpressed by Anakin. Han and Leia hated each other. Lando had to get past being seen as a double-crosser.
And the stuff about having to run away? It's Star Wars - of course the good guys have to escape the baddies.
>>64916631
and Rey was force thrown into a tree and knocked unconscious
no one really cares about minutiae btw
her entire character is garbage, not that one moment, it's just the cherry on top
>>64916631

Kylo still was able to fight well only somehow Rey had magical lightsaber training out of nowhere.

You do know Jedi are essentially space samurai right?
A samurai's weapon has a spirit of its own. If they are going this route with the new trilogy then its not impossible to imagine it went for Rey who wanted to take the saber back to its rightful owner Luke, Son of the original owner rather than Kylo who sought it merely to extend his own self woth and personal force power having the saber of Anakin and Luke skywalker.
It could also merely be that Kylo was so weak and wounded from his multiple injuries pre battle and during battle that his force power was spent whilst Rey's had just awoken.

Rey didn't know how to mindread at first. She was being mindread by Kylo for a minute or two. After that, she managed to block him out and do the same to him. How she exactly managed to do that wasn't explicitely told, but it could be that the skill to mindread is easy for force sensitive people, so just being aware of it would be enough.

If he does get hurt it's never a big deal. And it's not like Rey doesn't get hurt. AND it's not like that has anything to do with the Mary Sue trope.

Doesn't she?
>Nah the girl dirt farmer from planet dirt being good at everything isn't mary sue like at all
Except she's not a farmer. That's Luke. She's shown scavenging mechanical parts from and for spaceships. She's shown defending herself a few times. There's MORE exposition that is SHOWN explaining why Rey is good at mechanical shit, climbing, fighting, and would understand how flying works. Takenman they just sit around having beers and he's like "Being a badass in the CIA sure was crazy right guys?"
>>64916479
>0 training
Implying she wasn't shown knowing how to defend herself with her stick multiple times in the first act.
>Is able to defend against Kylo perfectly
literally on her heels after every strike. Just barely managing to block. Not to mention Kylo isn't trying to klll her.
>Somehow Kylo never uses force in that fight
Kylo is all fucked up. Emotionally, physically, and in his understanding of the force. Kinda the whole point.
>Somehow everything in the plot bends to go in favor of her
Fuck sake you retards are starting to confuse protagonists with Mary Sue. Her hometown is blown up, the bar she visits is blown up, she is kidnapped, her mentor is murdered by his kid in front of her, she struggles with her Hero's Journey call to action for awhile, she struggles with letting go of the past.
>SHE DOESN'T GET MURDERED AND RAPED. CONFIRMED FOR MARY SUE.
That's you.
>>64916755
>this whole post
Nice non-sequitur
Just because the original movie is based on a japanese tale doesn't mean that Jedi are literally space samurai. The rest of the movies completely deviate from that
Even your retarded samurai analogy was half true, never in any of the other movies has it been previously established that there's something like a spirit link between Jedi and their lightsaber. In fact both ESB and ROTJ make the lightsabers completely disposable weapons, because the greatest tool of the Jedi is the Force. There's no fucking reason for the lightsaber to be some mystical Mcguffin because they have always been replaceable trivial weapons in every single movie.
>It could also merely be that Kylo was so weak and wounded from his multiple injuries pre battle and during battle that his force power was spent whilst Rey's had just awoken.
That makes no sense either, Luke wasn't immediately able to use Force powers either just because Obi Wan "awakened" him to it. It's poor shitty writing designed to shoot a "cool" scene for Rey

She gets thrown around by explosions and force pushes and everything else the entire time. She doesn't get hurt by Kylo because Kylo is trying to recruit her. We're really at the point where because she's not like bleeding from the face the entire time she's a shitty character?
And what in the fuck does that have to do with Mary Sue anyway? Mary Sue trope doesn't imply they're fucking Luke Cage and literally can't be scratched. What are YOU on about?

Oddly enough TFA made me realize their worth
my how creativity has died
I love how every single "argument" Reyfags have basically is either a logical fallacy, trying to misinterpret or flat out come up with things that are never shown or told in the movie, or just gasping at straws by saying it was explained in the novel
Luke fits the more traditional concept of a Mary Sue being an author insert but his character development arc more than makes up for it. Rey might go through a lot of character growth across the span of her three movies but as it stands she fits the all powerful and everyone loves her bit of the Mary Sue formula perfectly.
Right now it's hard to judge because her character arc is going to span three films and in the context of only TFA it's very shallow.

The movies have never explained which force powers are easy to use and which hard, so I wouldn't know. What has been established is that through the power of self-confidence, you can unlock your dormant force powers and perform amazing magical feats.

In the trippy vision scene, we see Rey bein left with the fat alien that runs the scrapyard. He likely had her trained in scraping/ working on ships so she would not be a total mooch an carry her weight.
>she didnt go to mechanical school and get a degree, how can she work on ship?
Its called learning by doing faggots, its literall all she does, work on ships and ship parts, yoi guys really think she never picked up anything more than grab shiney metal parts, clean and sell them. 15 years alone in a desert, i would probably start fucking around with engine parts to see what i could make or get working out of sheer boredom

>Self-confidence
More than that. Enlightenment. True meditation. Guidance
>magic
It's presented as a material property in that universe, a medium, not magic

Is it ever shown that Luke knows how to fly an X-Wing before he sits in one for the first time in life and then pilots it effortlessly?
>>64916971
This desu.

Rey clearly had known about the Jedi before.
She was obsessed with the war.

>Believing defending yourself with a staff against nobodies and defending yourself with a sword against someone who has real proper training is the same thing.
>On her heels

0:00 to 0:10, she has 0 fucking trouble there
>Kylo never used force after he actually uses force against her 2 mins ago
Yeah it is because he is totally fucked up in the head meanwhile we had seen him use force pretty easily beforehand. That point is your bullshit.
>Home town is blown up, some place she has been to is blown up, kidnapped
Boohoo what tradegy meanwhile her ability to mind read Kylo, spamming a high level force ability with ease. Instantly healing from getting slammed by a tree are never explained

>His point was she was too powerful from the start.
That's not a Mary Sue though. She's a character who's discovering they've been burdened with superpowers. Is Clark Kent a Mary Sue? Is Wolverine? All the X-Men? King Arthur was the only person able to pull the sword from the stone, why was HE the only one?! ALL CONFIRMED FOR MARY SUE.

She apparently didn't get "trained" that much, or wasn't very good, if they didn't give her an actual job to that effect and she was living as a bum

She takes things apart. There is nothing to say that she likes putting things together. Anakin has C3PO and his pod racer to show for his technical abilities he's honed, for example. She plays with rusty old pilot's helmets in her spare time.

Obi Wan is /tv/. Dex is George Lucas forgiving us.

>has the widest range of ability and intelligence ever presented in a Star Wars episode

textbook Mary Sue
>>64916849
Fuck off.
>>64917081
More like years of hard training since childhood, guidance from a Jedi master. Meditation.
>Force is magic
You do realize that statement is retarded right?
Force is established as a fundemantal power in the universe like Chi
