Disney Scraps Plans For Further Star Wars Storys

I'd rather you change your last name, volunteer to be the first human to be shot to Alpha Centauri, arrive in about a thousand years, be totally devestated as some asshole named Harkov discovered how to make FTL ships reality some hundres years ago, you realise that all you ever wanted was totally redundant and you will be looked upon as a joke and a relict from a time long gone by, find new purpose by fighting evil reptillian alien invaders and have a mental breakdown once the fight is one, because you can't enjoy this major victory as your life returns to its hollow roots and you can't experience any form of physical pleasure since your body is wrapped in a copper suit that made the 1k years journey even possible and if you get rid of it you'd crumble to dust.
What I'm saying is, never ever undress, okay?
And Vance Astro is way cooler than Wolverine
A total yep, to what you and @Steven P Bastien are saying.
And while we're talking about Rey exploring ruined starships, that could well be an important part, if not the principle part, of how Rey learned how things worked in starships, like hyperdrives, which she seemed to know so much about aboard the Falcon. She's probably seen things inside Star Destroyers, including critical systems, that Han never could have hoped to have gotten a glimpse of back in the day when he was going up against them.
Right.
Why is explaining this even necessary? Was it necessary to explain how Luke could learn to fly a T-16? Why can't we just take it in stride, like Maz, and say: "A good question, for another time."? Expect tie-ins and other spin-offs to address this; Forces of Destiny has shown us a few adventures from Rey's life as a scavenger. It's not too tall an order to accept that successful scavengers on Jakku who've been doing that for over a decade learn some skills along the way, including fighting skills. The way she handles herself itself is evidence that she's not only in great shape but has also been in fights before.

Jeez, I'll keep the vest on then....
The term 'Mary Sue' has taken on meaning beyond the original characterisation. Language and social application does that. Quite an interesting explanation is in Wiki (especially interesting for Star Trek fans) about the origins but also the development of the phrase.
"A Mary Sue is an original character in fan fiction, usually but not always female, who for one reason or another is deemed undesirable by fan critics. A character may be judged Mary Sue if she is competent in too many areas, is physically attractive, and/or is viewed as admirable by other sympathetic characters..."
That is in part why there is often debate. Those who don't see a character as a Mary Sue push the defence that for example the wish fulfilment must remain as a self-insert of the author etc. Others who see the character as encapsulating wish fulfilment qualities in general embrace the aspects of just 'too perfect' as being cause of him or her being a Mary Sue. For my part as a viewer Rey is a Mary Sue so obviously. She is structured that way.
I agree Wesley is a pretty good example of a Gary Stu, in fact he is cited in the Wikipedia entry
The situation with Rey is she reached a level of achievement better than Han and Kylo in one movie.
Why did she even bother tracking Luke down? He had nothing to give her, she didn't need it she was already the bestest Jedi like ... eva. Like Make Jedis Great Again. She should have a little red cap with her picture on it

I really got none of that in the last two movies. Sorry.
I think throughout Force Awakens seeing Rey fly the Millennium Falcon was impressive. Kicking arse? Yeah whatever. Beating Kylo - ridiculous. That is not because she is female either but because she was so new to the Force and she owned him. Flick of the pen.
We must have seen different movies.
She does that a lot
Never mind that he was bleeding from a blast due to a weapon that we had earlier seen completely blow back a stormtrooper.
Yeah, she completely owned him is overstating it, at best.

He should have been able to beat her with one hand tied behind his back. Or rather one hand chopped off as is the theme with Star Wars.
Glad to see other people picking up on the point that Kylo wasn't actually trying to kill Rey. He was trying to get her to join him. Can't really do that, if you hack her to bits. That doesn't diminish Rey, because with Finn's help she fought him off, getting a good strike in on his face, until the ground split (oh, yeah, remember the exploding planet?), separating them.
He was set up in the movie to be like mini Darth. Did she even get a scratch? I think she worked up a little sweat in the snow.
He was badly injured by a blast that would kill a lesser man and emotionally compromised, it wasn't a fair fight. He also wan't fully trained according to Snoke.
Did you even watch the movie?
