  1. Imagine having focus groups to figure out how you should write your script and still not getting it.

  2.  @brianjungen4059  Sorry, but no. Not like Luke did. She has the powers of Luke in Ep6 with the training and guidance that Luke had in Ep4. The problem is also not that Luke is a powerful character or that Rey is. The problem is that Rey has no limitations. Even in his finest hour, at the pinnacle of his success, when Luke told the Emperor to go fuck himself, that he's a Jedi and never will succumb to the dark side, even at this moment of ultimate triumph, he was about to be killed by the Emperor if it wasn't for Vader who redeemed himself by defending his son and sacrificing himself in the process. If this had been Rey, I fully expect that the end would have been her pulling a light saber just as the Emperor is about to fry her, reflect the lightning back to the Emperor, then reveal that she knows some ancient Jedi ritual that could allow Vader to live without his suit, which impresses him so much that he instantly returns to the light side. Now you tell me which is a better story. This is the key difference here. Luke had to rely on his friends in every moment of his story arc. From Obi Wan who protected him in the beginning to Han who had his back at the trench run so he could fire those torpedos and blow up the Death Star to Leia rescuing him when he lost the duel with Vader to ultimately Vader who saved him from the Emperor's lightning. Rey, well, not. She's basically an unstopable one-woman army where there is literally nothing I could imagine by now that would stand in her way and she wouldn't just brush it aside without any trouble. How is such a character interesting?

  3.  @adamheywood113  She's good at being good at things. Unfortunately that makes for a really boring character.

  4. It's less that we don't know you. We do know you. You've known one Mary Sue, you've known them all. The problem is that we don't give a fuck about you.

  5. Yes, this alone is worrysome. Back when I was a kid, dressing up as Jedi was a staple of Haloween. Well, with good reason, it was a pretty cheap costume. All you need is some old robe, if you somehow manage to have something that doubles as a light saber you're golden. But kids also loved it. Not a single kid, not one, neither this year nor the last couple years, that came to my door was dressed as anything from Star Wars. I've seen quite a few superheroes and more Deadpools than I can shake a stick at (and let's be honest, Deadpool is maybe NOT the most suitable superhero character for kids...), but it seems Star Wars doesn't even exist for them.

  6. I really, really wish that was the actualy problem with these movies. Then we'd at least get interesting black and asian characters in them.

  7. @Robin Almquist Fucking virgins is kinda an oxymoron...

  8. It's less that we don't know, it's more that we don't care.

  9. This is actually touching. Someone get this man a writing job, maybe the train wreck can be salvaged.

  10. Then she should be a perfect match for Darth Emo (aka Kylo Ren).

  11. Petition granted. I don't consider them canon anymore.

  12.  @kustomkure  At this point, Abrams is basically a liquidator.

  13. It's the movie equivalent of name dropping. I'm nobody, so I try to remind you of someone you know and like and maybe you'll associate him with me.

  14. Oh please, everyone knows who and what Rey is. Every single bad fanfic ever written had a Mary Sue, it's the staple of crappy writing, we all know that kind of character. But you're right. Nobody ever cared about a Mary Sue.

  16. Well, a comic book character lacks a dimenion. Rey lacks all three.

  17. As far as I'm concerned... Whoever loses We win

  18. And here I was thinking there couldn't be anything that I care less about than Rey... Well, not true, this was at least funny.

  20. I have no problem with tough female lead characters. Ripley in Alien was absolutely awesome. What I have a problem with is bland, one dimensional characters. Independent of race, gender or ideology. Make the character interesting and I will want to hear his, her or its story.

  21. I have one. I expect this to suck and blow at the same time. And I wouldn't mind one bit if they subverted that one. I just have a hunch that of all the times, this time they won't.

  22.  Dylan O'Hara  But sir, the franchise is already going at ludicrous speed.

  23.  Dylan O'Hara  Too bad there's no Sandurz that would pull the emergency brake. No matter how many helmets get smashed. Not to mention we could smoke if we got em.
