Problem of Anakin's fall was, that the fall itself was much to quick and for the wrong reasons, that ruined it.
And Rey is even worse, because she GOT flaws, they simply don't mean anything and don't cause her downfall at all, what's even worse than having an actual "shiny knight" character.
A big problem of many female characters today is:
a) writers seem to think, that have to overcompensate and do not just make them strong - what often enough is at it limits when it comes to male characters - but even stronger, making them just to big to work anymore.
b) they don't just become the knight instead of the princess, they become princess AND knight.
c) even worse: they also become the dragon, because for some reason, when it come to such female characters, psychophath behaviour is seen as 'strong' and not crazy - what is of course an absolute terrible message.
Even if they don't go fully the road and the female characters is still just a side character, it's interesting to see, how those often start incredible strong, just better than everyone else, but since they got nowhere to grow from that point, they often just vanish behind the needed growth of other characters or are badly shoehorned in. At best, they just stay perfect from start to end - what is of course just boring.
