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. |

Can't have that. Mary Sue's gotta Mary Sue.

The kind of drama I'd write about myself when I was in high school where "Everyone would finally find out he good I really am"--but that's just part of the reason I didn't enjoy Episode VIII. Mostly it boils down to a poor story, poor pacing, and no payoff. I'll give Ep IX the benefit of the doubt. I think the prequel trilogy ended strong and made me enjoy the first two a bit more. Maybe ROS can do the same. I'll just walk in with realistic expectations. |
Well, yea. She checks pretty much every box for a Mary Sue. She even inherited the Falcon, even though that should have gone to Chewy. In fact, there has been no real argument against it. Most just say, "Well, so is Luke." Two problems with that. One, that's not really a defense against her being one and their admission doesn't excuse it. And two, these people obviously have no idea what a Mary Sue is.
