I never understood why people want luke to be a "Mary Sue". Even at the height of his powers on the og trilogy, he got immediately captured, shot in the robo-hand, captured by ewoks, crashed his speeder bike, wrecked by the emperor. There was never a time when I wasn't worried about him--which was a good thing.

Saving Han was a team effort. Taking out the sheild generator was a team effort. Taking out the Death Star was a team effort. Taking on Vader was a solo effort and Luke almost totally fucked it up and had to be saved by Vader.

Luke needed his friends. Rey doesn't need anyone. She never does.

Literally Rey's entire purpose in life is finding her identity and who she belongs with...

At least she's beloved and adored by everyone she meets, though. Even the villains. I know, she was trying to find out what happened to her parents but she is able to overcome most anything thrown her way on her own or she's the one saving everyone else. She's super capable. Unrelateably so.
