  • Rey is the modern poster-girl for a Mary Sue, and here are the reasons why she is one and Luke Skywalker most certainly is not. BTW - may the fork be with you.

      ​@@joshtoncray9882 I had argument that Re is also good at lightsabers as she was melee fighter b4 SW. Yep, but you know, it isn't like "armed melee" is oe skill you ca exp on any weapon and you will master all. Actually you may be specialized in one type of knife and suck at others (see: kukri vs. push-dagger vs. kerambit vs. dagger*). Staff and lightsaber need completely different stance and fighting style as blocking, attacks etc. are not even slightly same. Darth Maul's lightstaff would be more easy for Rey if she understood that it isn't blunt weapon anymore, but one-handed lightsaber? Not.

    • @nicksawtelle6475
      @nicksawtelle6475 2 роки тому +258

      I'm not trying to start anything, but it's because Leia and Ahsoka had good character arcs and development that made us root for them and love them. They failed a lot and were knocked down a lot, having tons of crap thrown their way and losing many friends and loved ones, but they were able to eventually rise above all of that and fight back, and win. It's a reality in life that we never succeed in life on the first attempt. Sometimes you have to fail in order to eventually succeed, and that's why we love Ahsoka and Leia. Because they failed a number of times, but eventually succeeded in the end, whereas Rey was someone who always succeeded on the first attempt. I get in movies there has to be suspension of disbelief, but you also need to have realism as well.

    Even Anakin, literaly the chosen one, created by the force itself, lost to dooku on geonosis.
    1. he got his hand cut off
    2. he had obiwan (who had 30-something years of training) to help him
    3. he´s alredy been training for 10 years.
    4. both Anakin and Obiwan would have died if Yoda hadn´t saved the day.
    5. even with yoda´s help dooku escaped.
    Why?
    Because Dooku was one of the best lightsaber duelists in the history of the jedi, a match for grandmaster yoda, and simply meeting the chosen one doesn´t turn him into a clumsy padawan overnight.

      Whatever your thoughts are on her outfit, she earned the love of the fanbase because of, and you even mentioned it in your comment, *character development*.
      Despite her controversial early appearance and her questionable outfit, she became a beloved character because she was written to be a *good* character. Rey never earned any of that because she was written to be a beloved character first without going through the work to get it.

Even the strongest Jedi in history (Luke) had his hand cut off and was helpless against the emperor had Vader not turned. He's as real of a person as you can get in a story about space wizards.

      Not only Rey Skywalker is the most powerful duelist and fighter. Obviously the most powerful force user with unmatched potential too. She is also the best starship captain, no can’t compete at her level and match her natural talent and skills.
      Why do people underrates Rey Skywalker for no good reason, although she is the greatest character and part of the masterpiece of the sequel trilogy?
      Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories.
      She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess.
      Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side.
      Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it.
      Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars.
      Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history.
      Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

    For people who said "Kylo was severely injured, that's why Rey won" Okay, well Vader survived an assassin that was personally trained by Palpatine while basically being a vegetable (back to the condition when he got his limbs chopped off by Obi wan) and not being able to use the force -- or else Palpy would kill Vader himself. Kylo is a Skywalker, it doesn't matter if he was injured or not, any untrained person in lightsaber combat shouldn't be able to beat him. Yeah Rey is a descendant of Palpatine, but nonetheless, she had never been trained in lightsaber combat.

      I really don't want to point out the obvious but ummm
      A staff is far more different then a damn lightsaber
      One is a big 2 handed stick the other is a blade that cuts through almost anything plus the hilt is also quite heavy so its a little difficult to wield while also having to be able to use the blade with the right motion to not mess up your stance
      A staff is not the same its very different and you can't use the experience of a staff to help you use a lightsaber or beat Kylo ren who actually had all of the training and knows how to wield it properly
      And just because he was wounded doesn't mean he would lose that would actually get him more power because of the dark side and he is fighting an amateur so she shouldn't even be able to touch him even with the wound and if he didn't want to kill her he could of just put her out of commission by using the force or making her unable to fight by cutting her hand off or knock her lightsaber away alot of ways really

    I’m telling you man, having Asoka be Rey’s master would’ve been freaking epic. There’s also another element that you didn’t mention that I think would’ve been awesome to watch. Having Asohka mentor and leave her and Jakku and not coming back could’ve given Rey serious abandonment issues. It could’ve given her the bitter angry edge that is the temptation to the Darkside which of course we all want to see from Star Wars movies. So when she has the chance to leave, she doesn’t want to. When she has the chance to train, she resists. When a wise Jedi master, such as Luke, gives her sound counsel and advice, she’s not inclined to listen to it.
    Her lack of skills and her emotional shortcomings would’ve given her all the relatability people needed to warm to her instantly. Rey could have been a truly awesome protagonist for the new trilogy. It still would not have excused Disney dumping all over the legacy characters, but it would’ve solved a massive portion of the movies problem

      they should have focused on the limiting teachings that force users learn, make it an idealology conflict to explain not only why the jedi order from the first three movies were not so powerful, but why rey was so seemingly gifted in its use. it would also explain why she was able to defeat kylo, who had all the restrictive training that stifled his potential, and why he chose to team up with rey in the rise of skywalker.

      Why do people underrates Rey Skywalker for no good reason, although she is the greatest character and part of the masterpiece of the sequel trilogy?
      Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories.
      She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess.
      Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side.
      Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it.
      Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars.
      Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history.
      Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

Han didn’t even immediately attack Vader, he attacked the guy next to Vader, which would give him enough time to react. Also, Vader could have sensed Han through the force.

    Rey’s gender directly impacts her negatively as a character. Here’s why:
    Luke was constantly under threat of physical harm and death, and he gets his ass whipped consistently throughout the OT. You feared for him, and related to him, because the movies showed you clearly that the Force didn’t make him a deity. Dude got his hand chopped off, FFS.
    Rey is never really going to be physically harmed because she is a girl. Disney is NOT going to release a movie where the female lead is maimed and beaten like Luke was.
    Kylo never punches her right in the face, never draws blood, never Force chokes her, never physically hurts her. He uses the Force to restrain her in TFA, but she is never assaulted and never suffers lasting wounds the way Kylo does with the scar on his face. He is never fighting her at full strength with absolute intent to KILL her. Hell, he’s flirting with her throughout TLJ. Imagine the uproar had it been Rey who had her back carved up by the lightsaber instead of Finn. Imagine them trying to redeem Kylo after he beats the shit out of a girl. No way. Kill Han? Whatever. Hit a girl? He’s irredeemable.
    If she’s never in any real danger, I can’t fear for her.

They could’ve easily caused harm to Rey without physical harm such as leering and perverse actions of the fat guy. It would act as a damage to her pride by making her feel humiliated. Which could create a self-confidence issue. Instead we get an impulsive, aggressive and arrogant character that you can’t really root for because she complains about everything and has no patience.

      ​@@FearMaster56435 I'm not sure what your point is. The problem isn't that he was or wasn't injured, it's that they're inconsistent about it. They start out with him completely the super-strong badass who's one of if not the greatest fighter in the galaxy, easily overwhelming her, then suddenly, after establishing his power, suddenly have her just focus for a moment and she's able to completely own him. This's just another instant of her being given a minor token "failure" to establish that it's hard before she tries for real and does it to perfection like it was never a problem at all, only this time it's a woman with barely any experience in light saber combat against a guy who fought his way to the top of the galaxy, and people are trying to excuse it by saying "she's not defeating the best, she's defeating an injured man!" as if he suddenly switched at that moment from not even inconvenienced by that little scrape to maimed enough that a novice can rip him apart with ease. It establishes how strong he still is, then shows someone who shouldn't be able to best him besting him easily and expect us to switch on a dime.

      @@zephyr8072 Unfortunately, that too is not how the fight is presented. Did you watch it? He's completely unfazed and she is completely overpowered, unable to handle herself at all, until he tells her she doesn't know how to use the force, at which point she closes her eyes for a second and suddenly becomes badass. The biggest change isn't him, it's her, and it makes it all too clear that it's just like the mind trick and other "failures": she "fails" to do what needs to be done for a very brief period, just long enough to show that they want us to think it's hard, then she calms herself and focuses her mind, at which point she completely overwhelms. Is it technically possible? Yes. Is it presented well, believable, and able to make me like or be impressed by the heroine? Quite the opposite, really. It's just badly done, plain and simple. Even if you wanted to do a villain who's "powering through" the pain, there'd be better ways to do it. It's certainly possible to make a hero still look awesome when he/she isn't entirely, personally responsible for the enemy's destruction. Like, maybe have them notice a momentary pain or something and take advantage of the brief loss of focus on the opponent's part. Don't just have him corner her, say she doesn't know how to use the force, and have her suddenly just "Oh yeah, use the force" and turn the tables.

    This shouldn't even be a discussion. Luke rarely has any victories when it comes to combat. Sure he blew up the DeathStar, helped take down an ATAT and defeated Vader in ROTJ. But those victories came through a lot personal growth and failure. The idea that Luke of all people needed to learn that failure was a good teacher is ridiculous. Overcoming failure is the story of Luke Skywalker's life. Rey on the other hand never failed a day in her life.

      Not to mention that said loses were either minor or was through the assistance of others. Luke was hit during the attack of the first Death Star, albeit not seriously damaged. He would however have been shot down if it wasn't for this other squad mates. He wouldn't even have gotten close to the Death Star had it not been for the other pilots that gave their life. In that sense it creates the feeling of "It could've been anyone" who did the deed of blowing the space station up.
      Its also not entirely made clear if Vader lost on purpose or not, as he quite literately got up after his defeat like it was nothing. Even he didn't lose on purpose he did try to avoid killing Luke, which is already a handicap and Luke did train for some time in order to overcome his father. Ironically, you could argue this with the Kylo vs Rey fight as well, that Kylo didn't aim to kill Rey, therefore she had a handicap. Issue there is that Rey had no formal training to begin with. Meaning Kylo should've been able to toy with her as Vader did with Luke on Cloud City.

Also, every clone that does not meet the stadards, including its strong affinity with the force, are immediately discarted. Even with that background, Starkiller is trained by Vader since he opens his eyes everytime. He does display some cool and special abilities as he "wakes up." yet he is NEVER able to overpower Vader, ever. Rey got many similarities that would make her a powerful force user, however she has no traning. There is no jedi or sith in the entire canon that is remembered 'badass' without traning.

    Those people who said Luke is overpowered with little to no training is bullshit. Luke trained with the grandmaster of the Jedi who prepared for his arrival since his exile, even then he got raped by Vader in Empire then in ROTJ, he went head to head with Vader who was told to hold back. Even if you take into account that Vader did not hold back, Luke tapped into the dark side to defeat him. Even then he was overwhelmed by Palpatine easily and needed Vader to save him.
    Meanwhile we have Rey, who defeated an injured Kylo, a trained Skywalker with literally no training. Then was able to go head to head with him in TLJ even tho Luke taught her nothing at all. Then in ROS, she was trained by Leia who quit her jedi training for a while, and was able to fight Palpatine head on. And don’t give me that “the Jedi gave her power” bullshit, why didn’t the Jedi did that to Mace Windu when he was facing Palpatine?

      @dislike bot Why would Rey have such a conflict in the first place? This conflict makes sense in the context of Luke because he was an aspiring Jedi, and presumably being tempted by the Dark Side is a conflict all up-and-coming Jedi must face. Metaphorically, it represents facing your own demons.
      However Rey was *_NOT_* an aspiring Jedi; she had no motivation to become one, nor does she give any indication that she wants to be one. She just has a mastery of the Force because.....reasons. In fact, it's not until midway through _The Last Jedi_ that she expresses a desire to be trained by Luke. Once more, she has no reason or motivation to become stronger. She's already beaten Kylo Ren by this point, remember? So it makes no sense that Rey would be grappling with the same inner conflict that Luke was. Why would she find anything about the Dark Side tempting? She doesn't even find the GOOD SIDE tempting...

      @dislike bot Here's the thing though...her conflict in _The Rise of Skywalker_ is *_AFTER_* her training in _The Last Jedi._
      Once more, we still have no clear motive as to why she wanted to train as a Jedi. The bigges problem with her character is that her entire "arc" was resolved by the end of the first film - she started out as a scavenger on Jakku, befriended Finn, escapes Jakku to go on an adventure, realizes she can use the Force, and in the climax faces off with Kylo Ren (who at the time, was meant to be this trilogy's Vader). She beats Kylo Ren in a lightsaber duel, saves Finn, and the First Order's super weapon is destroyed. At this point, there is nothing else for her character to do.
      She has no reason to train with a Jedi Master because she's ALREADY a master. She beat a skilled Sith on her first attempt with no formal training of any kind. So what *_improvement_* does Rey need?
      In Luke's case, he was not a Jedi master by the end of _A New Hope,_ which is why he trains with Yoda in _The Empire Strikes Back._ Likewise, Luke does not face Vader until TESB, and even then, his training is incomplete and he gets beaten. So even at the end of the second film, Luke's character still has room for growth; he has not bested Vader, nor has he mastered the Force.
      I say all of this because Luke's conflict with the Dark Side is multi-layered:
      1) He is brash, and often let's emotion influence his judgement
      2) He has a tendency to give in to his anger/fear, as shown in TESB.
      3) His father is Vader, who represents the most tempting offer of all -- Vader offers him a place at his side and the two of them ruling the galaxy together. Thus, the only way he can be with his father is by turning to the Dark Side.
      4) Luke aspires to be a Jedi like his father, and is faced with avoiding the same fate as Anakin.
      Now let's examine Rey:
      1) Rey is also brash and sometimes lets emotion influence her judgement, but she is not an aspiring Jedi, so this doesn't matter.
      2) Rey seldom exhibits fear or anger, so she seems to already have mastery of these emotions. Again, this is neither here nor there since she is not an aspiring Jedi.
      3) Rey has no family ties to Luke, Leia, Han, Kylo Ren, or Snoke. It's only revealed in RoS that she is the granddaughter of Palpatine, but unlike Anakin, Palpatine has no noble Jedi past.
      4) Rey has no reason to "be like Palpatine," because everything she's ever known about this character is negative. Palpatine is an evil Sith Lord, many times more malevolent than Snoke. If anything, this revelation should only reinforce her decision to not turn to the Dark Side.
      So while Luke has real reason to turn, Rey has no reason to be tempted by the Dark Side. In fact, she spends much of TLJ trying to convert Kylo Ren back to the good side, so clearly she has already decided that the Dark Side is evil. Rey is not thirsty for power, so there is literally no reason for Rey to be any conflict with the DS.
      As I said, her character arc was over by the end of TFA. If Kylo Ren had beaten her, she would've had reason to seek Luke's guidance. If Kylo Ren had been revealed to be her brother, she would have reason to join the Dark Side.

    The thing that really bothers me in relation to this is how legit and honest criticism of Rey being a Mary Sue wish fulfillment character has lead to people accusing anyone of criticizing her character as being "toxic hardcore Star Wars fans" and saying that Mary Sue is a buzzword for "fictional women who are just as if not slightly more competent than other men" which not only blatantly ignores how Rey is far too great at everything that doesn't make any sense but Mary Sue can also just as likely be applied to guys if they suffer from the same thing in which they are called Gary Stu.
    This is one of the many reasons why i not only despise The Sequel Trilogy as a whole but have low opinion of Disney era Star Wars because of the contrived and backwards feminist thinking that doesn't care about female characters being written well and engaging but just them being "strong" in the most absurd ways possible and anyone who criticizes this bad writing is called "toxic Star Wars fan" which is so frustrating to watch because not only do they put people who offer good criticism in the same camp as actual toxic fans but they themselves end up acting not to different from those they call "toxic" and shows no self awareness to it.

      Yeah, I agree. Star Wars has never been particularly well-written, but the sequels take the cake for sure. Disney wants to have properties that appear as progressive but don't actually want to put in the effort to be so in any substantial way. Female/lgbtq/colored characters being sock puppets for the plot is really insulting to both the audience's intelligence and to the theory/movement/represented people they're trying to earn brownie points from.
      This said, some of the criticism leveled at Rey's character in particular *does* have misogynistic under/overtones, or that which doesn't have this sort of inherent slant is associated with it when the analysis is poorly done or emotional- it comes across as reactionary to a lot of people that call themselves progressives. I've found that if I approach topics like Rey's character with a leveled and nuanced approach that people don't tend to assume that it's rooted in misogyny, although I imagine if I was obsessing over this particular character as a part of participating in anti-woke culture warring they'd have a very different reaction, and like, fair enough lmao. Priorities in critique can say a lot about a person's political priorities in general

    I once saw someone say that the Mary Sues are at their core liars. That is Rey's big problem. She is introduced into the story as a downtrodden nobody, naive and good-hearted but inexperienced in war and in the force. By all Star Wars logic and common sense, she should end up in big trouble on her quest, she should be in way over her head and should not be able to survive without a lot of help. Being an underdog is often what helps us sympathize with protagonists. But the underdog introduction is one big lie as Rey handles everything with no problem, never being put in a situation that she can't get out of by herself just fine. Even being captured alone on a planet full of stormtroopers and kylo rens doesn't slow her down.
    That's the difference to characters like Dream and Superman. Their stories do not lie about who they are. We know that they are experienced, powerful, confident and all around pretty great. But the stories are aware of that fact, so they make us sympathize with the characters in other ways, by having them face big moral choices, or exploring the burden of their tremendous responsibilities or by finding their vulnerable points.

      It explored the idea of the Mary Sue by presenting her as a goddess pretending to be humans, and using her supernatural powers to force people to like her and/or have an unexplainable obsession towards her. She was using her powers to force people with already established skills and relationships to throw everything in her favor and ostracized those who didn't fall for it.
      Anyone who was disagreeing with her or antagonized her in any way was castigated by the other characters and was seen as mean, stupid and jealous.
      Old, wise, skilled, experimented characters (the setting was that she introduced later in an already established story) were all bested by her and couldn't stop showering her in praise, to the point that she even imparted lessons to them, regardless of what happened before her arrival.
      And the most meta part: whenever any character questioned how comes she is that capable of everything or even asked about concrete elements of her story, life and experience, she would violently recoil and dismiss the interrogation...

      very good point. if the story (and by extension the author) were simply self aware that the character is a mary sue it would already change things drastically and make the character NOT a mary sue. if rey were introduced as a perfect character that can do anything and the other characters actually treated her as such ,
      THIS would make a more better and honest scenario because we could create a different kind of conflict where the other characters could lump all the work and expectations on rey because they think they can depend on her for everything which can create problems like, like crushing rey with too much work and expectations , or making Rey not know how to work well with others or not being able to trust others because she's used to doing everything alone and used to the idea that she's just better at things than everyone else.
      hence making her too hard headed and unable to work well in teams.
      This story premise alone would already make rey NOT a mary sue because there's actually real struggle but its more internal.

I mean, really... Luke gets a pass because the sword was his father's, and he doesn't use it or know how to use it properly till the end of the second movie... kind of like a character getting a weapons with a stat requirement that needs to be met.

      @IAN HEINE I'm actually really confused they didn't give her a double bladed lightsaber. Pretty much all her Jakku skills are rather quickly dropped after being introduced to them, which makes them feel even more 'plot based'.
      Her being a scavenger doesn't come of use in the other movies. Her ability to pilot is only used early on and beyond a random mentioned in RoS to imply Rey is a better pilot than Poe (the pilot character wtf) might as well not exist. Her actual fighting experience with a staff is quickly dropped. She's even shown to be competent at swimming and with boats despite being from a desert planet.
      Pretty much the moment when Kylo tries to read her mind, her entire skillset seems to change to "i'm a jedi" and her previous character is gone.
      Luke's other skills took a backseat once he got to Yoda in empire, but until then were shown to be a continued asset, and is even how he scored the 'win' in the first movie.

    This. All of this. I don't even have anything more insightful, this is just perfect. As for the whole thing of Rey getting fixed, your idea was splendid. Of course, a lot of the movie would need to be rewritten to properly integrate her new story, but the fact that you could come up with something that fixes every issue with the writing of this multi-million-dollar project is spectacular.
    Personally, I was hoping Finn would be the main character. A stormtrooper trained in intense flying and shooting exercises for two decades goes out on his first mission, only to break down at the sight of just how expendable him and his comrades were. Sent out to hunt a supposed undercover jedi, he was deeply traumatized by his fellow stormtroopers razing an entire village, killing innocents in droves just to get one person. He had no natural talent, instead fighting desperately to get to his position, spending two decades destroying himself all to serve, and his rewards were a jedi cutting down his friends and his best friend, the general, getting sliced in half by Kylo for failing only his first mission. Finn would be traumatized and jaded, having wasted his life for a cause where neither side cares about his life. He would have an inherent bias against the jedi, making him reject his Force powers until sometime in movie two, and that hatred would spill to the Empire as well. Just as much as he would hate the cause he fought for, he would continue to question the other side as well due to the bias. He would fight the Empire, but he would question the jedi teachings and old ways, seeing them from an outsider's perspective. Then, he could meet Luke, a jedi who had fully mastered the balance between light and dark, as shown by his occasional slips to the Dark Side in the OT, exiled from any of his fellow jedi due to his acceptance of the dark as a part of himself. Finn would take up the mantle, a stormtrooper fighting for a cause he didn't really believe in to a traumatized, jaded, emotionally broken man with no real side to fight for to an insightful warrior out to find his own path in this universe to a true master of the Force, fighting both the sith and the inherent problems with the ancient ways of the jedi. The perfect turnaround.
    It's probably not the best idea in the world on how to fix the sequels, but I can confidently say that it's better than whatever pus stain happened to form the words that became the sequels' scripts.

    And with that we already have so many things we can do that connect a new character to a wider world. Although, this premise in itself constitutes a rewrite of the entire Farce Awakens.

Also how tf does Rey win against Kylo, yes he was injured but sith become stronger with pain meaning that at least Kylo would give Rey a hard time and probably win.
