No, Rey is the epitome/text book definition of a Mary Sue. Anyone who refuses to see this is a SJW moron. Episode IV Luke practiced on Wombats who were less than 2 meters so the Gary Sue does not wash with him as far as shooting photons in a two meter circumference. I.e. Was explained already. Luke got his ass kicked by Tusken raiders and eventually had to be saved twice by Ben and Solo in two different scenarios. Also Ben kept talking into his "ear" and teaching him to let go.

Got his butt kicked in V after SOME training and had to be saved by his sister. In VI Skywalker had to be saved again by his dad in the end.

In I Anakin had quick reflexes and could build things, that is about it. II got his butt kicked and in III his butt was kicked again.

Rey had no "hero's" journey, just a poorly written and conceived "girl power" trope/ fantasy. Rey is more Super Girl than a Ripley-esque hero who evolves. If they even try to write-in any type of "memory erasure" due to past training with this, the writing will be even more pathetic, predictable, and contrived. Movie was well done from a technical standpoint, but could smell Abrams' SJW tripe a mile away.

No she isn’t. People with Force powers are innately good at stuff. How much time had Luke spent in an X-Wing? And yet he could fly in that trench at high speed and bob and weave and never crack up on the side like we saw multiple almost certainly more experienced (since it’s not possible to be less experienced) pilots. He was also better on the Falcon’s canons than Han. Roll that through your head, better than Han with the guns on Han’s ship. Speaking of better than Han, ever notice Leia is a better shot than Han?

We saw similar with Anakin in the prequels. You forget, Anakin didn’t just have quick reflexes, he could fly ANYTHING, and shoot ANYTHING, better than the people paid to do so. People with Force powers are innately good at everything they do.

Rey isn’t done yet. Now she’s found Luke, who’s going to be teaching her, and (I’m willing to bet money) is going to turn out to be her father. It’s not girl power, it’s Force power. She’s not a Mary Sue, she’s a Skywalker.
