Sure but would it hurt to have her bleed? Give her opposition a semblance of threat level? Maybe we could have her rely on her teammates a little more? Have her teammates save her life like Luke was saved by Obi-Wan, C3PO/R2D2, and Han?

I want to feel as though our hero or heroine is truly in danger and only Luke convinces me of that. Rey not so much.

You're describing the scene where Ren captures her in the forest outside Maz's castle. Also when the team of Han, Finn and Chewy saved her twice on Starkiller base (One could argue she got herself out of containment, there was no indication she had any clue what to do next and was certainly happy to see them. She was absolutely fucked in that forest after defeating Kylo if her friends hadn't picked her up).

In the second film Luke had to pull her out of the dark side during her training, and the second time she succumbed to it all the convincing in the world didn't stop her falling prey to Snoke's trickery and running to see him. Where she again got her ass handed to her, and had to be saved by Kylo, who she then failed to defeat.

Quick learner? Absolutely. Highly skilled? Sure. Powerful in the Force? Definitely.

Mary Sue? No.

Hell, even say she is, using that as a proxy to say that these are shit movies, financial follies or despised by the general SW fanbase as a few people are doing is an absolute boondoggle.

Okay, let's make this simple: I wanna see Rey bleed. I wanna see her decapitated similar to how Luke was and Anakin was. Make her opposition more threatening in TFA, I appreciate Snoke getting the better of her in TLJ but in TFA, a lot of what she faces she gets out of a little too easy. Allow Han and Finn and Chewie rescue her from Ren's imprisonment: no mind trick.

Also, please allow Han to handle HIS Millennium Falcon; it's HIS Falcon. No need to have Rey show him up. It's a real shame Rey couldn't get a ship all her own that was distinctly hers, one I could call "Rey's ship and no one else's". Instead, she gets the Falcon which is just about tied to Han permanently.
