Discussing the Rey/Ahsoka Contradiction

[@thorskywalker]

At long last, and after much talk, I've started my second channel that will focus more on collecting, games and (in general) more lighthearted content and topics (including things like meme reviews with my fiance). If interested, the first video and introduction to the channel can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGfRlpl4grSHmqM

My likes of the Sequels: Kylo Ren, First Order aesthetic, new star destroyer design, all Kylo Ren's tie fighters... that's it

[@thesquattinduck2205]

This is the only channel gets my feelings on the sequels. I was raised by woman. My mother is the strongest person I ever met. The stories weren’t that good. There was no plan. They had a year to reshoot the ending of last Jedi after Carrie passed away. Instead of changing it that Leia sacrifices herself to save Rey and Resistance. Instead of shoehorning in unused footage of her. When it comes to the new characters, they weren’t flushed out properly. Asoka grew on me because the journey, growth and to adds more to the story. Thank you for what you do.

I love your comment that Ahsoka may be the chosen one. I have already made my opinion known, even to Lucas employees, that Dave Filoni should have been in charge of the last movies of the Skywalker trilogy, since he's been personally groomed by George Lucas himself. I like Rey, don't get me wrong. But I do see and understand some of the negative comments about her, especially since she had very little training, but quickly became so powerful. Ahsoka, for those who didn't remember, was ~14 when she became Anakin's Padawan. Anakin flat out and told Count Dooku that his powers increased. That could be a combination of age and training. Ahsoka has gotten older and has experience, which can explain her powers getting stronger. Not to mention she hasn't truly giving up on the Jedi order. Especially the non warring side. Let's also not forget the convor that flies over Ahsoka and her possible connection to The Daughter. If there is a connection between Ahsoka and The Daughter, then Ahsoka could become extremely powerful. I hope the rumors are true that Ahsoka makes an appearance in The Mandalorian and possibly have her own series on Disney +. As long as Dave Filoni is involved, the fans, the true fans, will be excited.

When did she said that?

[@df6148]

Soon as I saw her introduced as an orange alien girl that was the padawan of Anakin Skywalker... Her interest lvl rose 1000% percent. That happened in *5 mins* she was playful and innocent and it made the transformation of anakin that much more interesting too. Like how could he turn his back on this fun loving Ashoka that looks up to him and even has a friendly nick name for him??? It was like Adult Anakin seeing the fun loving childhood anakin in his own padawan. Its like he betrayed both himself and her by going dark. whereas rey...was yeah. idk...just bland. Toughness doesn’t always mean no smile. Thats what makes Ashokas toughness a lot cooler.

Exactly. Look at Han Solo for example. He almost abandoned the Rebellion but then he realized his mistake. Luke was arrogant and naive when it came to the force at first but with a greate deal of training he masteredit. Rey stalemated Kylo Ren (although injured) when Kylo Ren should have cut down Rey with 2 swings. It saddens me that they empowered Rey by undermining other characters and the force in general.

[@simplysnazzy7445]

Rey is what happens when people try too hard to write a “strong female character.” Ahsoka is what happens when you write a strong character who happens to be female. Just my take on it.

[@themaster408]

This! I love the Disney film Moana partially because she's written as a strong character and not once do they mention her gender or does anyone tell her 'she can't do it'. She's not better because she's female, she's just a good character period.

[@tormak]

Ahsoka is what happens when u creat a blank slate right. Then proceed to make logical development

[@ezra6898]

There it is! I feel like a lot of people want to create strong female characters just for the representation, which isn't the way to go. If you have to force a character out, it's not gonna turn out good. Just create a character that happens to also be female, they don't have to be constantly strong and fearless.

[@quanganhvu6791]

Many people didnt like ahsoka when they first introduced her. Throughout the seasons of tcw it felt like the character had to EARN the respect of the fans as well as other characters in the show, which she obviously succeeded in. For Rey it felt a lot like they expected us to like and accept her right away and didn't put effort in giving us an actual reason to like her as a character. You might say that ahsoka had time to have her character developed but my argument is that when you pour a 9-digit amount of money into a movie, its kinda your job to figure it out.

[@agoosewithaplan4941]

[@Hekkler72]

Daisy Ridley is a decent actress and having her as Rey was one of the few things that DIDN'T bother me. The writing was just hot garbage and her character was poorly written. It was acted fine

[@elhighground8506]

Yeah, Daisy is cool.

[@marieduran6286]

Yes, there is no excuse for bad writing. An actor can work with a poor script, but it takes an actor with a lot of talent to do that.

[@AdultThirdCultureKid1971]

I don't blame Daisy Ridley for her portrayal of Rey and I agree with you on the writing.

[@mclaire9447]

The sequels had the same problem the prequels did (bad writing) but multiplied by 10. But the prequels have the Clone Wars cartoon to fill in the gaps and flesh out characters we didn't get to see much of. The added context makes people like the prequels more than they would otherwise. (I grew up with both so I've never disliked them.) Also the characters of the prequels actually had a lot of depth, just poorly written. The sequel characters are very.... surface level, so the writing stands out even more.

[@Angarsk100]

I Agree, I feel sorry for Daisy, Disney did a huge injustice to her by giving her that horrible role.

[@Farbauti616]

Rey’s character could’ve been a male and I would still hate her

[@Relixification]

Different race, different gender, it dont matter, the fact that the character was written in a way that it was convenient to have plot to be told in 'truth' and 'evidence' for the spot she was claiming to have 'the MAIN character', was not built-up by anything BUT convenience. And what's worse is that, THE CONVENIENCE plays a part with real-life political agenda, and that's how people will see it, no escapism means you have failed the character and it's world as it's writer. Forcing a belief without necessity is enforcing hate.

[@Mr-Tibbster]

Exactly. The reason I dislike Starkiller in Force Unleashed is because how silly and overpowered he is, he at least didn't break as much lore (he was trained and so on), but at the same time it messes up the scale of "power" in the universe and the characters to have this guy ragdolling walkers and star destroyers about, and slapping down Vader and even the Emperor, and takes away from the fact that Vader was supposed to be the most powerful next to the Emperor, and that only Luke's "love" for Vader (and vice versa) was the final hope for the galaxy. (Though I did like the "story" of TFU, just take away the OPness of Starkiller and make him lose to Vader at the end Fallen Order style, and it's great imo. Force Unleashed 2 though I thought was awful as it consolidated all the main flaws of TFU 1 and added to them). Rey isn't SW's first Mary/Gary, but the Sequels sure do break the record in terms of bad writing and inconsistancy.

[@helpfulapple3125]

EccentricM honestly, TFU is a good game. It isn’t canon, because if it was, it would be very stupid. It is just a nice non-canon game that lets you live out a power fantasy where you just throw around enemies and make super cool combos.

[@Mr-Tibbster]

@@helpfulapple3125 Oh of course, I get that. But at the time it "was" considered canon and was the offical explanation of how the Rebels originated. George Lucas even had a part in working on it himself. It's only non-canon now because it's pre-Disney EU material. But I'm all for wild crazy fun and power fantasy games, so long as it remains in its "context".

[@helpfulapple3125]

Ashoka is basically how Rey should have been handled in the sequels, hell even her being a nobody would have been fine as long as the explanation made sense rather than it being something utterly ridiculous.

Facts I think ahsoka and obi wans character are the perfect Star Wars characters both lost everything and still remained in the light. Rey did nothing.

[@tsukuyomimagi9968]

Nothing. Everything worked out for Rey regardless of the circumstances she's put in. None of her actions have any serious consequences. Along with the fact that everybody in the sequels just adores her and wants her on their side. In my eyes, the reason Rey is a Mary-sue is not because she doesn't have faults, its that those faults don't have any major repercussions. Ashoka on the other hand, had plenty of them.

[@rvhw3466]

Finn was the biggest letdown for me. John Boyega is a phenomenal actor, and I feel bad for how hard he got shafted throughout this trilogy. An ex storm trooper who has to overcome his fears of the First Order and hone his force sensitive abilities is a fantastic idea for a main character, something we've never seen before. His merchandise sold really well when the Force Awakens first came out, kids loved him. Then they pulled the old switcheroo and made him a comic relief goon who slowly faded into the background.

Edit²: I'm getting complaints about using "Sith" now. I'm sure seeing the Sith rule of two in place here with Kylo and Snoke... who knows though? Maybe I miss counted! His title is irrelevant to his training and abilities being much greater than Rey's though. Nulling some common arguments: "She used a staff her entire life": (If the point that a staff isn't a lightsaber isn't enough for you!) This development was never shown. Assumptions aren't good to make. A metal staff in which she used both sides can't be compared to a single-bladed lightsaber. This is like saying Maul mastered every lightsaber form just because he used a double blade. She also never fought others armed with similar weapons, only unarmed opponents. (She barely even understands how to shoot a blaster! Aiming and pulling a trigger should be easier than foreseeing your opponent's moves and blocking with a lightsaber!) "Kylo Ren was weakened": Rey wasn't? Kylo also had MUCH more training and was taught in the ways of the force by one of the most powerful force beings to ever live.

Hopefully, that is something she figures out in the upcoming series.

I'd cite Filoni here: Maul IS stronger than Ashoka but he is always too confident.

[@Herdatec]

Additionally: Maul was a sith apprentice. With a rule of two you don't just take anyone. Ashoka was in constant war for a couple of years that will train you. Also this scene was moCapped, thus real humans did most of the moves, it is just sped up. In conclusion their power level was adequate/realistic and worthy of a Finale.

I think Ahsoka became stronger after she quit the jedi order because Force didn’t like the jedi in that period of time). Ahsoka earned her connection with the force from her actions and decisions, that makes her more powerful then before.

[@Blaed13]

I would agree, but after seeing ahsoka stop maul's ship cold when it was fully accelerating short of hyperspeeding into the planet... I don't think the margin is as big as maul stans would like to admit. it's one of the reasons their fight is the best in star wars from my perspective. (though maul is in my second favourite fight, when he and savage get trashed by sideous...) It's not an accident that maul loses THREE different fights after gaining the total upper hand (the high ground). (obi-wan, ahsoka, and kanan-who was far less powerful than both ahsoka and maul-) dk about rebels era though. i think ahsoka caught up power-wise in a big way. maul FLED when he felt vader show up. and I kinda got the feeling ahsoka would have won if they fought for real right then. ahsoka didn't just duel vader fearlessly on level terms for most of that fight (except getting thrown from the ledge...that was awk) ...she SACRIFICED a decapitating hit to INSTEAD, confirm anakin's identity instead. and that's not even getting into 'ahsoka the white' post-rtj. she'd wreck maul. you really get the sense that while ahsoka only got more powerful, maul declined after the clone wars.

[@masonguthrie1257]

Two things one in Ahsoka and Maul’s fight Dave Filoni said that Maul was fighting as if her fighting someone of Sidious’ caliber. And I don’t think he held back until the end to give Ahsoka that one last chance. Not saying Ahsoka was the better duelist but it’s only fair to point out that maul was giving his all. Number 2 why Ahsoka was so strong in the force is most likely from her connection to the Daughter. So it makes sense why she is much stronger in the force during the second half of the clone wars. That’s all.😁

[@ShotaVtuber]

Yeah how come people say she was “too powerful”? She was never stronger than Maul, arguably, even in Rebels when they fought, though he underestimates almost all his opponents, hence she got her win. And regarding her surviving Order 66 and leading the Seige, she was a Jedi trained for war (lol I know she said they were trained to be keepers of peace not for war)

So, I’m re-watching the old Clone Wars movie and show and it’s reminding me why Ahsoka has a special place in my heart. She starts out brash, stubborn, and argumentative, but then she starts to learn how to temper her skills and personality and grows more powerful. She becomes less arrogant and more serious as each season goes on. When she does something wrong, and, believe me, she does many things wrong in the first few seasons, she gets in trouble for it, but she learns from her mistakes and slowly becomes a better, more skilled Jedi. Rey doesn’t have any growth or a real character arc, like Ahsoka does. She’s a blank slate and was used as a self insert for Kathleen Kennedy’s fanfiction.

[@daenor7807]

My perspective: Ashoka: a hero: doesn’t have much power crushes on lux, puts using what strength she has on saving the universe and helping people Rey: a girl: has enough power to save universe in her finger tip, sits around while people die to mope because she’s too crushing on emo mockery wannabe of a sith pouty boy kylo( who is NOT a sith, the sith unleash their dark passions then harness and control them to gain power, he just blows up with no control, that’s like comparing a planet destroying fully controlled super laser with a self destructing Death Star, all he does it throw tantrums as you can tell I hate kylo)

[@DarthJacobi]

Valid points to piggy back off of that I’d add that in the clone wars there are actual stakes involved in her decision making as well. Because Ahsoka is a leader when she messes up, clones usually die or almost die, which adds to her guilt she feels in her decision making. Rey is often times the most important piece in their plans but despite of that she doesn’t really seem to have anyone’s fate in her hands. When she makes a mistake the only person who “pays” the price is Rey but she usually just Mary sue’s her way out or the mess up immediately. You almost never see her actually dwell on a mistake or second guess herself because of it. She just keeps on keeping on. Which leads to a boring character with no real development.

I really like Rey AND I think she had character development AND I think she had flaws AND I accept the dyad explanation for her innate skill with the Force AND I think it's okay if others dont agree with me because certain characters and stories resonate with certain people and not others. ...which is why I resoundingly and utterly reject the opinions of people like Thor Skywalker because those opinions pretend to be based in objective fact about a subjective medium. His entire castle of opinions is built on that sand of a flawed understanding of storytelling. (And don't get me started on the subject of this video which seems to ignore the established notion of certain places and times creating a deeper well of power or stronger connection to the Force. Or the unconfirmed notion that the Force itself can "will" certain things - like the virgin birth of The Chosen One.) (I guess I got a little started!) See, unlike how Thor describes people as though they fit these conveniently flawed stereotypes which can be easily dismissed by a calmly delivered and intrinsically flawed argument, turns out people are different and exhibit myriad preferences and predilections. The same criticism he has for those who jump to conclusions about people who dislike Rey and/or the sequels can be equally applied to his description of those who defend Rey and/or the prequels. None of this dialogue soaked in stereotype (on either side) is really helping Star Wars at all.

The story telling ran so far from the lore, made the original trilogy as pointless, made the prequels as non existence, the clone wars, the rebels, everything was completely destroyed in 3 movies.

But back to the topic; everything you want comes at a price, this one is supposed to be learning how to not give up and persist on you're goal, not letting yourself think otherwise and adapting to whatever circumstances life throws at you. At least that was what Luke and Ahsoka were and technically are. Rey is just too perfect and powerful with no reason other than being an "example" for girls but they can't even manage that. I'll say this and I know I'll probably get some angry replies but, feminist are living in the past- holding on to the thought that ALL men are bad.(I know not ALL feminist hate men.) Yes, there is bad men but there also is bad women out there not just men. It's the new age nobody judges you for your gender anymore, at least not the whole population. And this is the same problem the LGTBQ community has, they keep wanting to grasp on to a example and put everyone down whom don't agree with them. Again this isn't really there fault because for so many years in the past women and gay people were demonized and now this is the outcome of that. The LGTBQ community isn't is rash as the feminist(at least as of lately-) but they get so much hate because they are so used to being put down by other people and they just want a popular figure to look up to and show them what's up. Rey is a outcome of feminist wanting a character to empower younger audiences but they harp so much on the point that she is a strong female that they forgot to giver her an actual story, personality, a point- she has no developmental arc. If Rey would've just had been less perfect and powerful at the very start to her damn story, I bet you 100 dollars this wouldn't have happened. That's why we love Ahsoka because at the start she was a bratty, sassy and naive girl who wasn't all that strong but as she grew up she began to get more and more mature and with thus more powerful. For the fans who watched Clone wars when it came out they felt like they were growing up with Ahsoka and for people like me who saw Clone wars later on it was satisfying seeing this character who was hated and then end up being loved by everyone at the end and with good reason. And another thing is that everyone else around Rey who respectively are good at certain things because they had years of practicing, training and such- but then the strong woman comes in and is great at everything although had never done anything or had experience. For gods sakes, she apparently knows more about the Han Solos ship than Han himself with the only context being that she was a scavenger for ship parts although having no knowledge out of that about the ship itself. But, anyway. I'll stop ranting because I'll end up writing a wall about why Rey is a horrible character and example. hOlY mOly- How did I get 219 likes?-

She FAILED to stop his shuttle escaping. She suffered and struggled, and was being pushed to her absolute limits. It was perfectly fine for her.

This SHOULD be his most powerful scene and it was glorious. For Ahsoka, people forget she got warned by Rex so she could defend herself. Him telling the other clones not to shoot saved her so she wasn’t shot in the back (poor Aayla). Then her dual lightsabers allowed her to deflect enough blaster bolts to barely escape. Finally, she has already been attacked by clones before (twice actually), so you could even say she has experience with that. Also, Maul has always underestimated his opponents, see his missing lower half. Filoni said Maul was better, but, as you said, let his guard down and paid for it.

[@calsalitra4689]

@@skull1161 1 year old comment, but I'll replay anyway. I would say it's less about only being able to focus it in a race, and more that he can only use the Force passively. He benefits from the enhanced reflexes and intuition that come from Force sensitivity (which he only really makes use of while piloting) but he can't make active use of the Force to enhance his body abilities or use Force powers. Still, it's enough that Anakin has obvious potential to grow. Rey, meanwhile, doesn't appear to have any Force potential, and yet she just can do the Force when it suits her needs. And then there's Luke, who took an entire movie to do what Anakin did naturally.

[@mitchellbewick3097]

Here's my take on this Rey/Ahsoka Contradiction. Ahsoka: At first immature and over-eager because she was a child (expected). Not overly powerful as a jedi because she was a padawan learner (again, expected). Over time she gains experience and forms her own views and opinions. Faces many adversities through her travels that challenges her. Fails at times and learns from those failures. Leaves the Order because she needed to find her own path. After Order 66 she further expands her knowledge and mastery of the force, making a real effort to avoid and even triumphing over those who pursue her. Lives long enough and goes through enough to become someone who can be considered a true Master of the Force. Basically: grew stronger over time and learned from everything. Rey: The same through all the movies. No character development. Magically gains force techniques on a whim where others (including Anakin, the Chosen One) had to work hard to even grasp the concept. Creators focused on "Strong, Female Character", essentially creating an already all-powerful figure, a Mary Sue, rather than "Strong, Well-Written Character", one that will work towards a goal and will face adversity and challenges that will either hamper or aid their said growth. Basically: always seemed to have the skills despite never actually doing them before.

[@rrteppo]

Rey accidentally farted force lightning killing a whole ship of people she thought Chewy was on. Then she didn't turn to the dark side?

Rey literally warped the cannon of the universe around her.

I’ll cite Filoni’s wise warning to Ashely: “They are gonna hate you” Filoni knew she’d be disliked, but also knew where he wanted her story to go. He allowed her to fail, be weak in many ways, to only eventually mature after some pretty heavy lessons including Mandalore corruption, getting hundreds of clones killed, and plenty of speaking out of term and hot-headed opinions that resulted in chiding. However, this all was a part of her journey. She grew into a very mature, yet young, padawan that would ultimately be betrayed by her own Home in the Jedi and then again by the clones. Of course, she is now beloved by so many fans and rightfully so. Thankfully for her, she has destroyed the “you just hate women” argument and is a definitive standard for other Star Wars content and shows in general to try to reach.

I know some people argue that its ok because of Luke in the first film not having training either.

Luke may be 'Farm Boy of Destiny' but he had 4ish Years of training by the end of the 3rd movie and still couldn't really beat Vader, a skilled opponent with decades more experience. In the first movie of the sequels we see Rey duel Kylo Ren, a force wielder with decades of experience (I think he's canonically 10ish years older than her). She didn't even have the day of preliminary training that Luke got in his first film. And she won.

The most important thing about Ahsoka's early problems is that they were clearly intentional. Filoni wanted her to start out as as a bratty inexperienced child who had her eyes forced open. Through constant training and war she became a warrior and a leader. Through betrayal and loss she gained a sense of compassion no Jedi could match. And the most important part is that she *earned* it.

@@PatheticApathetic I used to like this point, because it is true, they have the same time with their own master, but: Luke got his hand cut off by Vader and he gets destroyed once Vader starts to force-throw stuff at him. Rey does way better on Snoke's ship. She's still no match for him but she can hold her ground against Kylo once the fighting is over. Even tho she is AS untrained as Luke, she escape pretty much ok. She failed her primary objective of bringing Ben back and it costs Luke's life just as Luke lost his hand, the message of leaving training on an impusle and paying consequences is the same, but it isn't as apparent for Rey as she seems to get out without an actual scratch and Luke even tho he dies, still save the Resistance from compete destruction. Even tho it's a technical failure, good still comes from it whereas Luke DOESN'T save Han, get his hand cut off and is mentally weaker than he was because he learned the truth about Vader. The feeling of "Untraindness" and failure isn't the same. IDK, I don't hate TLJ or Rey but this point don't appear as good as it used too.

The only defeat against Rey is on Starkiller at the end of TFA and I don't like the argument that he should have bested her after taking the Crossbow shot to the sides. He is powerful but being able to kill two people while barely standing up would have been bad ass, sure, but a bit too much.

For me the biggest issue with the sequel trilogy is that the story didn't go anywhere. We ended up in the same spot that we did with return of the jedi. Luke is by himself and is the only Jedi, Rey is by herself and the only jedi. The Rebels won and have to create a new republic, the resistance won and have to create a new republic. While I do agree and think Rey's character is annoying and a mary sue I can get over that, Anakin wasn't the best character but I still love him. My main issue is that the story didn't move Star Wars along AT ALL. We're in the same spot as ROTJ.

[@Helbore]

This is what I keep saying. The sequel trilogy is narratively redundant. It simply undoes every accomplishment that they achieved in RotJ, only to have it conclude with a battle to defeat the same villain all over again. Its completely pointless and adds absolutely nothing of value to the overall story. Its pure fanwank and nothing more.

@@Helbore exactly, it just resets the whole galaxy to post ROtJ state, and for no reason whatsoever. I was super interested to see how the New Republic and New Jedi Order were functioning.

An actual well-written strong female character in the SW universe that recently made it to the screen is Cara Dune. Cara's character doesn't build around the fact that she's the spokesperson for feminism, she's simply there as Mando's old contact and friend who works together with him and just so happens to be a strong woman. Her fighting and tactical skills make sense, she's had shock trooper training and been one for years. In no way is she unreasonably powerful and ends up saving Mando's ass all the time, she's by his side fighting as it should be. I'm not surprised that Cara's character was originally created by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, who both worked on Clone Wars with our beloved Ahsoka Tano. They just seem to be one of the few male writers in SW who can actually write strong female characters, it seems.

[@IggyStardust1967]

That's because they just write a "strong character", and hire a female actor who fits the role. Cara Dune is played by Gina Corano, who is a legitimate "real world" badass. If a smaller, weaker person had been hired for the role, it wouldn't have worked(male or female).

Honestly I think the preeminent fatal flaw of the sequel trilogy was hiring JJ Abrams and not making him scaffold a full trilogy plan before he started. They knew he was prone to shock value twists he never can resolve and to rely on fan rapport and call backs (fine in a reboot like star trek, not in the same timeline). Rian Johnson stepped up to a half finished script and arc and tried his best, but he was torn down by Russian bots and racist misogynists alike. Both of the other trilogirs were pre scaffolded, with the ability to later fill in the gaps with novels, films, tv and flashbacks to stitch together trilogies and insert new key characters.
