Now you're grasping at straws to keep her being a strong woman character? If noncanon fantasy needs to be used as an argument against the Mary Sue claim then im afraid it might be more factual she indeed is a Mary Sue,would be nice if they actually wrote her plot like she developed her strenghts so people would have liked her a bit more. Nothing to do with genders btw,her character development is disliked evenly amongst all. |
I think that's the direction the story is going though, JJ has said there's more to her parentage than what's in TLJ, but they will honor TLJ's interpretation as well. So my guess is she's born of the Force to a nobody mother (just like Anakin was) who ditched her on Jakku and ran off with Rey's drunken step-father.
I've thought for a long time actually she is just like Anakin .... born directly from the Force. They are not like any other Jedi or Sith, those two are pure children of the Force and have special destinies.
It also explains a lot of things like why Anakin's lightsaber specifically calls out for her.
It also explains the "Rise of the Skywalker" title because I think Kylo is gonna die in the next one, so it has to refer to Rey. Skywalker bloodline = bloodline of the Force directly, so she has it, just like Anakin.
I don't like the prequels, but all that sh*t is established as canon in Star Wars (Anakin's conception, the fact that the Force can basically will life into existence and has done so before, etc. etc.).
None of the main Star Wars leads have any great character arcs anyway ... they're all unnaturally good at stuff right from the moment we meet them ... Anakin is the only human capable of flying pods at age 9 (lol) and blows up a Trade Federation lead ship with no training, Luke blows up an entire Death Star with Darth Vader on his ass after a 5 minute lecture on the Force from Obi-Wan.
As I've said that's like beating LeBron James in 1-on-1 basketball after only starting to play basketball two days earlier.
