Taking down the Death Star after multiple veterans did is pretty impressive for a "crop duster", no matter how you try to spin it. That medal he got wasn't a participation award :P And on that last point...what does that have to do with anything? Yeah, Star Wars was written in the 70s. And Citizen Kane was written in the 30s and 40s. And Hamlet was written centuries ago. Time of writing is not an excuse for the flaws of any of the Star Wars films :P |
It's impressive but fact remains that he wouldn't have been able to do that without the veterans.
So, we'd have to wait for the movie to see if Rey is really a poorly written character?
Yeah, Citizen Kane and Hamlet are not sci-fi stories with major plot complexities. They're character-driven. You're the one using SW to excuse the major flaws of TFA.
