Wow, that's a rather poor list.
1. Really reaching here. Especially since all it leads to is a comedic scene. And actually takes care of the pirates who had just boarded. Hmm. Mary Sue?
2. Cause she never touched a blaster. But, then fires a perfect shot the 2nd time, and many after. Hmm. Mary Sue?
3. May have a little something here. Well, except this just leads to her revealing she is OP as fuck in the Force, with no training, and she is just able to escape her situation by herself. Hmm. Mary Sue?
4. This could have been an awesome point for not only you, but her character. But, this scene, as well as the mirror one, just proves the Dark Side has no pull on her and she can easily refuse it. Not even Luke was that perfect. Hmm. Mary Sue?
5. Except she doesn't. He gives his life, in a rather lackluster way, I might add, because she convinced him. Had it not been her to go, the Rebels would be dead. Two fold, actually. Not only does Luke get reduced to a distraction, Rey is the true one to save them. And she just so happens to do it by demonstrating, once again, how OP she is in the Force. Hmm. Mary Sue?
6. She actually did turn him. But, the movie remembered it needed a bad guy after it wasted Snoke, so he turned right back. That scene still showed how OP Rey was. She helped take out a group of elite guards, and saved Kylo (just to make the count even), with little effort and in like 2 mins, with no training. Hmm. Mary Sue?
