Rey was awesome. She also messed up by setting those huge beast out so her hacking skills are not the best in the world.

Selling Scrap:

She had to have a lot of skills to manage to scrap enough stuff from a dangerous downed Super Destroyer. Maybe she didn't know what her skills were from the Force but she had to have something guide her in that dangerous profession.
This is more speculation. I do not see what is so difficult about accepting that Rey was written way OP.

We don't know the length of Kylo Ren's training in the force.
We know he received training to begin with.

He was acting like a child in many scenes. He was shot in the chest, fought Finn with the lightsaber.
I acknowledged these potential disadvantages in my write-up and still conclude beating him so clean is a long shot.

Retroactive comparison: Literally everybody hated how Darth Maul was beaten. The backlash was so loud and sustained for years that he was resurrected in the EU and being that Clone Wars is the only surviving SW extended media before the big buyout - he survival is canon.

Nobody, absolutely nobody ever, speculated how much training Maul had to lose so stupidly. But here we are entertaining Kylo's shortcomings while dreaming up explanations for Rey's abilities.

Me thinks it would be easier to say she was an OP character.

Quote:
There is also the point that he was force weakened by his actions of killing Han Solo.
'Force weakened'? What is that, what are you saying here?

Quote:
The action which was the reverse of what Snoke said (Either Snoke lied to him or he was wrong.) He was not at his best to say the very least. He also didn't want to harm her so he was taking it easy on her. He said "you need training." He was acting like Vader to Luke before he sliced off the hand in Empire after giving up at the time to seduce Luke. He was way off his game and was trying to bring her into the Darkside.
Conjecture, conjecture, speculation, theories, etc.

He lost the fight more than Rey won it.
This is hilariously absurd spin control.

This is possible. But to speculate this is to accept that she is indeed a Mary Sue; we're just adding 'by design'. And I'm open to that, it's just the wacky attempts at rejecting premise one.

I have already entertained these traits.

He should not lose clean to somebody who picked up a lightsaber that same day.

Just like Neo. Just like Batman. Just like Alice from the RE movies. This is not 'bad'. It is what it is.

use the force Luke, use the force. Not believe in yourself kid. Vader spends a good portion of his time force choking people. The force was a power, it's always been a power.

Not conjecture. Read the official novelization. Nothing would be written in it if it didn't pass director.

We don't know that. We don't know if it was metaphorical or literal. We don't know that killing Han would upgrade him with Force Lightning or whatever. We don't know any of that. We don't know what stronger means in this case.

We do know he was partially trained by Luke and then presumably by Snoke. We know Rey never touched a lightsaber in her life and used Force abilities only that very day. We know Kylo can stop a fucking laser in mid air.

Unless there's very juicy exposition in Eps 8, Rey's story arc at face value makes no kind of sense without simply saying she's a Mary Sue. Any other explanation is pure speculation or suspension of Star Wars own internal logics. All I'm sayin.

Were you expecting him to get a little +1xp show up above his head and for him to level up?

Both Ren's feeling weaker because of killing Han and also Snoke telling him killing Han would make him stronger. We don't know fully know was stronger means but it wouldn't look like that.

We're probably going to get a lengthy exposition when Luke tells Rey where she came from. Wasn't one of the promos for the movies Luke telling somebody about his family's ability in the force?

Sure.

But let me humor you on that front: It still doesn't account for the other 90% of the movie where a scavenger girl from Jakku possesses every skill imaginable to save herself and/or others.

Name a scene in the movie where she was overtly fallible/defeated/humbled and required the assistance of anyone else. Go.

And the 'Force sleep' totally does not invalidate the general observations. In fact her capture was the First Order's undoing.

That was classic Abrams misdirection. It left us to speculate on any of the three new heroes. Lots of promotional material showed Finn with a lightsaber. The swerve was clearly in Rey's favor.

No way in hell would that line be a tease for the next movie. No way.

Here we go with the 'Hey guys I'm here to say I don't really care, I care only enough to say so'. You're above this yadda yadda whatever.

My feelings on this is no better than anyone elses. I never asserted so. My only opinions were stated early on. On the idea of Mary Sue, I am not giving opinions.

I value everybody's contributions just so we're clear.

I am actually a life long star wars fan I'm just not going to get into a silly debate about weird nitpicky things.

I choose to bask in its glory and marvel at what I just saw, and not get into a argument about a bunch of nonsense.

Borrowing a fighting game term. OP = Over-Powered. Just a shorthand for my main point.

I will agree she is OP but will wait to see if she is OP for a reason. Like Anakin was. Han talked about balance in the force in his "It's all real" speech. Being able to ride a podracer at 10 when even adult humans couldn't would be considered Overpowered. Being able to build the greatest service droid in the galaxy with 4 million languages is also an overpowered ability.

Operas are often obvious about the story. So, even though it is obvious I feel like she'll be Luke's daughter.

This was the single point I was getting across this whole time. For all we know she's in fact the one who brings balance to the Force. Who knows. I have no problem speculating with you on this. I just found arguments against her obvious infallibility disingenuous. I did not mean to be dismissive or anything, I was only ever arguing the technical narrative of her character, not what that means in the fiction.

While yes she is overpowered, i don't really see the criticisms not this. Characters like Batman and Superman are too, yet are still popular among fans and critics. Either the character works for you or doesn't.

I 100% agree Kylo should have destroyed both Finn and Rey with the lightsaber. I thought Finn lasted as long as he did was laughable. It seemed Kylo was at least going easy on Rey but Finn should have been crushed in a minute.

I don't think Ren is as advanced as you guys think.

Luke lasts pretty long against Vader in their first fight and eBay saber training does he really have compared to Vader. Vader resorts to cheating and hurling everything but the kitchen sink at him.

Now Vader could've been taking it easy as not to kill Luke but Luke gets some solid shots at him.

Honestly I think Fin being able to last so long against Kylo was meant to show how attached he was to Rey. Like he had an adrenaline thing going on and was literally fighting for the lives of his best friend and himself, and he still got f'ed up pretty badly afterward. Also Kylo was clearly not meant to be taken seriously as a threat. I think it was stupid of them to make him so whiny and turn him into such a little bitch, but he definitely was meant to be that way so it makes sense that he got his ass handed to him.

I think his petulance was a necessary evil. He reminded me of Joaquin Phoenix's performance in Gladiator. Dangerous not because he's formidable at this point, but unpredictable, immature and dastardly.

Yes, exactly. He also feels entitled. We will continue to see his training and his powers evolve.

And Rey is clearly just far more badass and better at the force than he is. And it's great because it will make him fucking crazy and he will write about it in his journal, while combing his lustrous locks of hair.

These stormtroopers seem to have some form of melee training, plus Kylo was injured, plus he was mocking Finn and playing with him, and then he eventually did fuck him up. Seems fine to me.
