Is Rey from Star Wars a Mary Sue?

And there a lot of people who do like her character just fine. I'll take Rey over Mannequin Skywalker moaning about sand or kisses or his bad dreams (will someone just throw this kid into a lava pit already?). 

I like the first Matrix, it's better than any Star Wars film aside from the first three by a good margin, so I don't have a problem with that character type. 

So you're acknowledging that she's a Mary Sue and her character doesn't make sense in the sw universe but you like her anyway? That's cool. Whatever floats your boat.

Yes, it's almost like it's only a fucking movie. 

The sequels are better than the prequels and that's all anyone was ever going to get. Some people treat this like it's supposed to be a religious experience, it's freaking kids movie at its core and Lucas got lucky with several things in the OT that were lucky accidents that are never happening again. 

For people who are so unhappy I would say maybe expand your horizons, there are actually movies for adults without lightsabers and spaceships in them. Many of them.
