Is Rey from Star Wars a Mary Sue?

A lot of you guys seem to make the mistake of different universe.

Harry Potter and Neo are in their own universe, Rey is in the Star Wars Universe.

1. Even if Harry Potter is a Mary Sue (he's not) , it doesn't matter because he has always been the MC of Harry Potter Universe.

2. Even if Neo is a Mary Sue when he becomes the chosen one, it doesn't matter because well duh the chosen one is the strongest.

3. But in Star Wars the MCs were not Mary Sue's, and even if they had plot conveniences then it was explained and they were always shown to have flaws. Rey is not the only MC of the Star Wars universe, so Rey should abide by the laws given to the other MCs.

So every main character in Star Wars basically has to be Luke's template? Says who? The rules reset with each trilogy, each new main character is their own deal. 

If JK Rowling wants to make a new set of books in the Harry Potter universe with a new main character, said character can be whatever she wants him/her to be, in fact it would be boring if she just did Harry 2.0. 

She can do what she wants, as can Disney. But it's understandable that change for the sake of change is not always good. I waited 7+ years to watch all of Harry Potter, because I didn't think it was worth it. That is what Star Wars is slowly becoming, and I find that disappointing.

Rey being a Mary Sue (and other issues) just means the franchise is less worth to me like Harry Potter.
