Anybody complaining Mary Sue is just being dumb. The entire franchise was built on director stand-in, Luke is a bigger Marty Stu than any character in FA, heck Luke is a bigger Marty Stu than any character not played by Woody Allen. He’s even NAMED after the director. So really, every whining about Mary Sue needs to get the hell over it.

An Ahsoka/Aayla Secura movie saving the galaxy and in their spare time training a raw, whiny CGI'd Luke with Mark Hamill doing the voice...

Anyone saying Rey isn't a Mary Sue is just being dumb and obtuse to boot (and that is just a short synopsis).
Start with the fact that Luke got his ass kicked in all 3 movies and had to be helped by other people. Luke just had quick reflexes and that was just that until he could be trained (Heroes journey which is the antithesis of a Stu). Could he even control minds until the third with low tier mentally handicapped characters (Well seasoned force users cannot even do that)? Could he even do the easiest maneuver, force pull in the first? Had some training with Kenobi, Mary Sue just found out the force was real and poof skills that rival a Master. This is terrible writing, no character struggles, extreme and the development/wish fulfillment was left vague in order to market the "girl power" memes in order to push plastic toys. Also at least he practiced shooting wombats. Tons of other cringe worthy stuff. VII was an abomination.
