They wouldn't call Finn a Mary Sue but there'd probably be a shit ton of racist rhetoric thrown his way because the Star Wars fandom is absolute shit.

I thought they were going to make Finn like Kyle Katarn

Youre now remembering the racist outrage of a black stormtrooper when the first teaser trailer released.

If the writing was just as bad, then yes.

Male characters are still generally called Mary Sues as well. Some people try to make Gary Stu catch on, but it doesn't really. Mary Sue is just more the catch all for the perfect overpowered character that can do no wrong and in no way earned their way to where they are regardless of gender.

There would still be the same complaints though. Rey/Finn literally discovers the Force is real the day before using the Force like someone who has been formally trained in it and fights with a lightsaber against someone who has been using one since he was a child. And since people will,bring it up, no fighting with a staff is not the same thing. Different weight distribution and different techniques. I mean even using a sword is not the same thing as their is no weight to the blade in a lightsaber to counter it. Thats why only Force users can use it in battle because they use the Force to keep from flailing it around and hurting themselves. Of course Disney had to shit all,over the lore just because. I like Abrahams, but him trying to say he is a huge fan is a massive fucking lie.

In this version, does Rey also awkwardly flirt with Finn, and Finn dismissively reject her?

'Stop trying to hold my hand!!'

'Its none of your business if I have a girlfriend'

Seems entertaining, awkward girl trying to seduce an uniterested guy makes for some begone thot memes

Yes because bad writing is bad writing.

More racist would latch on and less misogynists would but the vast majority of people who hate it because it's horribly written would be basically the same.

They should have both become Jedi. Both would have learned from Luke, but would have had different strengths and weaknesses. So together, they could have wrecked Kylo ass.

Rey shouldnt have been as competent as she was in the force when she found she could use it and finn shouldnt have been a bumbling janitor trooper
