Is Rey from Star Wars a Mary Sue?

Luke isn't quite a Gary Stu, but he's pretty damn close.

His character is basically the equivalent of a farm boy practising basketball for 45 minutes with a coach, learning a few moves, and then going on to hit the game winning shot in the NBA Finals over LeBron James a day later.

He gets a few pointers from Obi-Wan and then is able to out maneuver Darth Vader and blow up the Death Star.

This stuff doesn't make sense if you really want to over analyze it.

A few pointers? I daresay Obi-Wan trains him quite a bit more than what we actually see in the film, even though we don't get a lenghty training montage scene. Plus, he has some of his father's traits in him, so it kind of makes him powerful by way of his lineage. In the next film, he continues his training with Yoda. So he actually goes through a lot of training and explaining to get to where Rey just stumbles by accident, and Rey is still more capable. She doesn't even know what it is she's playing at, really. It just doesn't sit well.
