Either her or Samuel L. Jackson.

Nobody holds a candle to Droopy McCool, the noted jizz-wailer, and that is a canonically accurate sentence.

I don't like Jar Jar Binks. I am new to Star Wars so I don't really know who is disliked or liked but I cannot imagine people like Jar Jar Binks. Are you saying Rey is also not well received?

She is easily my favorite character of the series so far. She is so lively and energetic. It is amazing.

He is liked *dramatically* more than Rey.

Why don't people like Rey? She feels like a breath of fresh air for the series to me. Maybe I am just biased because she is so damn cute.

Because in terms of writing she scores 1's across the board.

Rey was bland as shit. I only saw Episode 7 but it was killed so much by the fact that there was like no tension with her character at all. The whole movie drove me nuts though, just really sloppy writing all around.

for the record I thought her acting was fine, it's just the writing failed to deliver any decent character development at all.

Not even in the top 10. Definitely not in the same class as Darth Vader, Han Solo, or Obi-Wan Kenobi. Imho even Jyn Erso is better than her and Jyn only got one movie.

I'm glad someone said it. I was all in on the new movies when they came out; I was just excited to have new Star Wars movies. But on review, they're overall bad movies with some good scenes and callbacks, and a major part of that is Rey. Shame, cause I really like how she was introduced.

Anyway, the answer to Best Character is, and always will be, Qui-Gon Jinn.

Maybe they can get better writing in her new movie and she will win everyone over.

To me, the writing sucked in pretty much all of these movies/shows but I judge the characters individually at least in terms of how much I like them. And she always shined on screen. The character was just fun.

That isn't how writing works. Even if they made a solid 10/10 movie with a 10/10 depiction of Rey she is still a character whose backstory/everything outside of the movie is garbage. By default if a character's entire being is not well written the best you can do is either reboot or use them as a popcorn character: a character whose characterization is so pointless so that the fact that it's garbage is irrelevant. Rey cannot be a good character under modern understanding of the character and Disney is never going to reboot her.

I dont know Darth Plaguis the Wise. I dont know about his ability to bring the dead back to life. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I dont have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my padawan go now, thatll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you dont, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

They were trying way to hard to force (haha) "girl Luke"

The difference is Luke has a very interesting and compelling arc. He had actual growth, ups and downs, heroic feats and tragic defeats, interesting relationships and profound conversations with characters around him, etc.

Rey had none of that. You're just supposed to accept her as the new Luke. It all feels unearned and forced because it was.

The Star Wars sequels weren't actually sequels. It as an attempt at a soft reboot made by a disjointed team of people with wildly different visions so you got the steaming pile of crap they were.

Rey's biggest problem was that she was too evenly matched with Kylo at best and and superior far too early at worst. Compare it to the dynamic between Luke and Vader in Empire or Anakin and Dooku in AoTC and it doesn't come across as all that intense. Not that those dynamics don't have their flaws but they worked better than Rey & Kylo.

There has to be some tension and threat and Rey didn't have a consistent one throughout the trilogy with the way they handled both Snoke and Palpatine.

Props to the Droopy McCool mention btw. I don't remember the blue elephant's name played some sort of piano but Sy Snootles really could belt out some vocals in that band at Jabba's palace.

Can't believe I was even that close with her name.
