Heres the problem with her, she should have died in Last Jedi instead of using her after the actress died, the out of space scene which was just hilarious, and the worst part.
Her retcon, it was originally stated that she wasnt really trained in the force at all, but then they changed it in RoS where she now was so good that she could even defeat Luke in a duel, see the problem here?
She was apparently so good, yet did nothing with her powers or abilities, remember the end of Last Jedi about how they were trapped an all? why didnt she save them with the Force? why didnt she trained Ben Solo herself instead of handing him over to Luke?
If anything the retcon makes her look like an awful person
Oh its a red flag with neon letters for sure. He completely lost his raving 'nana and even if he’d just killed all the men of the tribe the response would be grossly disproportionate and doolally.
Doesnt work that way, since her previous version being trained has a Jedi its non canon which means it never happened, then her version which was the first 2 movies where she wasnt trained which was the new canon, but then they retcon and said that she was trained after all.
Its not a “retconned back” cause the original material no longer exists
I suppose I will be honest, I tried to read the original canon material but fell asleep.
The only reason the new trilogy sucked was…
Episode 7=New Hope 2.0 and feminist fan-fiction
Episode 8=Luke’s character getting trashed.
But Episode 9 kind of fixed it for me by making Rey a Palpatine to me that explained how she could get powerful so quickly, to me that’s when it made sense, and it no longer felt like feminist fan-fiction because in reality she is only as powerful as she is because of her blood.
Like i have explained before, Rey being a Palpatine, doesnt explain anything, it doesnt explain AT ALL, why she is so good a using the lightsaber, at using advanced abilities that need to be learned, why she knows how to fix or fly ships (she knew how to fix the Millennia Falcon better than Han Solo…)
Theres a difference in raw power, and using abilities that MUST be trained.
Putting a name which like i said was just to save their butts due to how horrible the writing was, doesnt justify any of her powers
Its still a Mary Sue trough the 3 movies, and it was not only that the movies failed solely for he character, its because the movie trashed original character, and even new ones, and trashed on the lore of the previous movies.
Last Jedi was so bad that it just completed doomed this trilogy, it wasnt just cause of Luke’s character assassination
This movies were a straight up insult to the fans and George Lucas
Even the actor of Luke hated this movies, and the idiot thats in charge of Star Wars Kathleen Kennedy straight up lied to people, for example how she wanted to keep the original characters true to themself and how Lucas created them (and we know how that went…)
Too late for that to begin with, after watching the first two movies youre wondering, why she even needs to train in the first place?
SHE LIFTED A FREAKING MOUNTAIN IN THE LAST JEDI
She didnt trained at all in the first 2 movies, and the excuses in the third are a joke.
And not a Mary Sue? she killed Palpatine in seconds, after he not only weakened her, got more powerful and obliterated a large amount of space ships with his Force Electricity alone (btw that thing was so stupid…)
I mean I agree that it was still too much in some places. Her 1v1ing palps was stupid. Biggest flaw of the movie IMHO is definitely how little palpatine toyed with them though. Arrogance is his key feature - and enjoying being a monster - and he’s not laughing while he’s force storming? I mean come on.
His biggest flaw is that he appears to be an idiot… literally, just try to remember his whole plan since the first movie, YES the first movie since we all know that Snoke was just Palpatine all along now.
Or how despite nearly killing himself against Windu by him reflecting his Electricity which deformed him, he apparently didnt learned his lesson and does the same against Rey and basically kills himself this time.
I’m referring to the old EU, which is what they brought up. It was always just a token gesture and to keep her from falling, and the idea of her being a match for Luke at any point is laughable.
