Anakin and Luke are also Mary Sues.
Oh and did you miss the part of Star Wars where everything is lifted from other movies?? That's called "homage", your vocab word of the day.
Yeah but not as bad of a Mary Sue as rey. Their skills build from what they did as children. Anakin podraced, he flew a ship & accidentally destroyed the trade federation craft in ep1.
Should I start listing situations where budding Jedi can suddenly and inexplicably use a new force power to help them escape their captors/pursuers?
Luke wasn't exactly a budding Jedi, but he was the first user of Force projection to help the Resistance narrowly escape the First Order.
We're talking about how Rey's force powers supposedly are inconsistently good compared to young Luke and kid Anakin.
There's an Imp. flight sim inside Rey's walker. She mastered every dogfight and emergency flight situation. Did Luke do that? No, he only ever flew the SW equivalent of a dirt bike.
Forgot about this. Not keen to watch these movies more than once…
Also, as a capitalist you should know that in a competition for survival situation you become stronger, not weaker. Her life situation is what trained her instincts.
true. But there are usually missteps, work put in. Progress. A montage.
There is a montage, it's the second sequence of The Force Awakens.
You don't know anything about her history. You'll find out in 9 that her parents were from a culture of warriors(probably Mandalorian) and trained her to fight since she could stand up
Maybe we will find this out (are you just speculating here?) but what we know now is they were nobodies.
So there's going to be some royal lineage very very deep in her past just like Mary's lineage tied back to king David. I should probably write a damn article on this crap.
You should write it here, time stamp it. I dont know what symbolism about Rey you’re referring to.
I am speculating but they've set up the symbolism so strongly they almost have to. She's clearly a Mary analogue just like Anakin was a riff on Christ symbolism.
Yes, Anakin was the result of a virgin birth & he tore down existing dogmatic political structures, but he really wasn’t a savior to the masses.
actually was trained. Ep2 lost to dooku after being security the entire movie. Finally ep3 defeats dooku & is strong. Rey, a junk scavenger, can fly the falcon on sight, resists mind
reading by kylo (who has been trained) & holds her own against him in a lightsaber duel, after she first held a lightsaber 45 minutes earlier.
