Rey's a Mary Sue because she's a scavenger who fended for herself for over a decade, became an experienced staff fighter, mechanic, and pilot prior to episode 7 as detailed by the plot setup and several scenes directing herself as such, and was able to beat a more experienced force user in a lightsaber fight because he was badly wounded and taking her lightly, but Luke wasn't a Gary Stu because a random farmer with junkyard swoop piloting skills totally translates to being an immediately excellent starfighter pilot, turret gunner, blaster marksman, and force user capable of directing a pair of proton torpedoes at long range with a single training session under his belt.
Main character get plot armor to some extent but here's the thing about Luke:
Was almost murdered by Tusken Raiders, saved by Obi-wan
Nearly assaulted at the bar saved by Obi-Wan
Nearly drowned then was almost crushed in a garbage dump ultimately saved by the droids
Was mauled by a Wampa and almost died on the cold saved by Han
Was shot down by an AT-AT
Vader smoked him in a duel and cut off hand, completely destroyed him emotionally by dropping the truth about him being Luke's father
Hell even in RotJ he gets shot and the hand and electrocuted, saved by Papa Vader

Rey has no moments of weakness like this and don't need no help cause she's am empowered woman. She is a Mary Sue


She's shown as incredibly gullible, easy to trick, easily starstruck, constantly having crises of confidence and lacking self-worth, getting captured twice, and more or less relying on the support of her newfound friends and parent figure all throughout episodes 7 and 8.

I will agree that 7 and 8 kind of made the First Order into a He-Man villain level threat to the main characters, albeit successfully wiping out the Republic capital and wiping out almost the entirety of the Resistance, but is her not getting her butt kicked yet really that critical of a difference between her and Luke?


And added spoiler tags just in case.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
