Star Wars, and the problem with Rey

This is one that I just had to get off my chest. Rey's character is becoming a major problem in the new Star Wars trilogy, and in this video I'm going to explain exactly why.

Well, I agree, and I do think that Rey is ruining Star Wars, she didn’t really do enough Training and was not strong enough to to logically destroy Palpetine, a feat accomplished by a team of Luke and Darth Vader, (the chosen one) she did basically spend most of her life on Jakku parent-less and that must’ve thought her something

[@stunningandbrave7475]

Also... “Rey” is Spanish for King

[@calebdouglas6861]

Remember how Anakin, who was said to become the most powerful being ever, trained as a jedi for years but got his shit rocked by Count Dooku in his first real fight? Then that point carried over to the next movie where Anakin trained to become good enough to defeat him? And he wanted to kill him because he took his arm? It's called character development

[@draftmagicagain1000]

Rey Skywalker didn't need any of that. Hi Five!

Anakin didn’t kill Dooku because he took his hand. It was because palpatine said dew it

[@basic_avarage_person]

@@draftmagicagain1000 exactly rey dont have characters development,6 day of almost no training and boom the strongest jedi in that era

[@Blood_Thirsty_AJ]

Actually, in my opinion (what I think), Palpatine wanted Dooku to be killed by Anakin, because he cut his arm, like this, Anakin would have developed his rage, his thirst of power, and his desire for revenge, easier for Palpatine to play with his mind by saying things that would convince the young Jedi, and turn him to the dark side, he knew that having Anakin in his side will make him win the ULTIMATE POWER. And for Anakin, killing Dooku wasn’t what he wanted, because he wished to be a great and respected Jedi Master, and kills is not part of the Jedi way, like he said. But I really think the pression of Palpatine about killing his nemesis was so tough and influenced that he finished off the Sith. I’m clearly not saying that it’s exactly this, it’s just a theory I had in mind.

[@laughmouth]

Me to prequels after watching sequels: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly."

[@apreviousseagle836]

@Phelan Prequels were terrible due to Lucas incompetence. Disney sequels were purposely constructed attacks to destroy the mythos.

[@apreviousseagle836]

@Phelan Well, at least The Last Jedi was. It was Roundhead Johnson's deconstruction (badly done) of the SW mythos. Who's actually good in the SW universe? Who's actually bad? Apparently both teams buy their weapons from the ultra rich anyway. Who's a hero and who's a villain? Apparently neither, and both. Who was Luke? A good guy or a bad guy? Apparently he was somewhere in the shades of gray. There are smaller problems in the other movies as well. TFA basically had a female protagonist that could not possibly have an arc, because it would be insulting that she would actually been a novice as something, but.....gasp.....have to be taught something by a male? Perish the thought!! And Finn? Hmm, well the idea was to have diversity, so let's have a black guy be the 2nd lead? Oh wait he's basically comic relief, and all he can do is shout Reyyyyy because he fell for the first chick he ever met. That's kind of insulting. If I were a black person I'd be annoyed this is how the movie treats that character. Hell I'm annoyed now. He had so much potential to be great, as did Rey, but no no no!! we need a comic relief to play off Ms. Perfect.

[@apreviousseagle836]

@Phelan 100% I am reading into it. This is why we have intuition in the first place. It's a useful instinct that sometimes is wrong. Can I prove it? unless I could find a specific place where KK or RJ say that their goal is to destroy what SW was about, then I can't provide what you want. No one may ever know. But we can use intuition with a bit of logic and compare the zeitgeist and the source of it, and put 2 and 2 together?

[@PrincessLockette]

thank you 😊

[@Howlingburd19]

Well you see the main difference between the two is that the prequels actually had some sort of plan or structure. They were far from perfect but they answered a lot of questions, there were some arcs, and for the most part, everything made sense. Most of the puzzle pieces fit together. I believe the main flaws of the prequels were the screenplay and execution. Meanwhile the sequels had no plan, and no vision of any kind. There’s so many writing errors and plot holes, barely any arcs (and the characters that did have arcs came off as disappointing), and it feels so sloppy. The puzzle pieces don’t fit together. And it doesn’t help that there was a lot of PC-influence. The sequels have lots of flaws, but I believe the biggest one is the writing.

[@CaptSaiyaman1941]

She never goes on a hero's journey because shes not a hero.

[@InfernosReaper]

Which is why it was weird how after the showdown in the throne room Rey didn't just punt Kylo out a window and seize control of the First Order with Commander McManchild bowing to her overwhelming power and assuming Kylo was dead. Think about it, she's basically Anakin Skywalker, an orphan from a desert hellscape that's too old for Jedi training, but does it anyway under the guidance of an incompetent mentor. Except, even Anakin lost fights, even if it wasn't many.

[@NoOne-fe3gc]

@@InfernosReaper But Anakin had an arch, and he had training, he was "too old" at like 8yo. She is fucking 20 - 30 something, 0 training, 0 anythingm and uses the force. Even though the jorney of Anakin was known and thus couldn;t provide many surprises it still existed and was 100X better than Rey's, then again, it is easy to be better than something that don't exist anyway

[@theblackcatvieweraccount5402]

@@InfernosReaper during the 10 year jump between episode 1&2, Anakin had been training in the use of the force. He lost a couple of fights in that time. When he finally got good he was filled with arrogance about his improvement, leading to his loss with count Duku. He was humbled by that in episode 3, but his impatience and aggression had the Jedi Council concerned. So they withheld the rank of master from him in order to see what his path would be. This inadvertantly drove him to the dark side. His character flaws played out. Rey has nothing like this. Anakin was literally born from the force, and he still needed years of training before he had a grasp of the force. Rey just shows up out of know where with master level force skills, no personality, no character flaw, but totally isn't a Mary sue... Right. And I'm the queen of England.

[@Maladjester]

I've had weapon training in martial arts class. You want to find out how clueless, clumsy, and ineffectual you (and everyone else) really are? Pick up a sword for the first time. It's quite embarrassing. I always thought of the Force as an extension of existing skills, i.e. you still need to know something, it just makes you faster and better than anyone with your level of training could possibly be. But if that were true, Luke would have beaten Rey even without using the Force, because you don't pick up a foil for the second time and defeat an Olympic fencer, full stop, end of discussion. Since that didn't happen, the only possible conclusion is Rey gets not only extra speed and precision from the Force, but the expertise itself. This means she's like a Matrix character, artificially implanted with impossible mastery of every skill in existence. The question then becomes, why can she do this but no one else? All I can come up with (besides MUH FEMINIZUM) is she somehow contains all the Force ghosts that have ever existed, absorbing all their power and experience. It's why everything is easy for her. It's why "a thousand generations live in you now." Mind you, I doubt it will be anything that interesting. There will be no explanation, she's just stronger than everyone because vagina.

Rian Johnson could have saved the entire movie and even made it awesome if Rey had have joined Kylo Ren in the throne room scene. I was, at that point, cheering for her to do just that. It made so much sense for her character. Think about it, she was left out disappointed by everyone she had ever met except for Kylo. He was the closest thing she'd ever had to a family at that point. He was promising her the ability to change everything, to rule everything. She had no reason to have a moral compass to say no. I genuinely would have respected the "subversion of tropes" meme if she had have fallen. Episode 9 could then have been about the redemption of Kylo and the destruction of Rey, who was the supreme leader.

@Grapthar's Hebrew Hammer well it gives the first 2 more of significance and character build, tho they still aren’t great. Honestly, those movies kinda suck as a whole. Alone, they’re good, but there just isn’t nearly enough info in between, Clone Wars (especially a specific select of episodes) gives that much needed filler to explain everything unexplained or not built upon in the prequels (mainly ROTS). For example, the clones are introduced in AOTC, they fights a talk a bit, then betray the Jedi. This has no significance and is mainly just confusing, until you watch Clone Wars and realize how it works, and how the clone troopers aren’t just boring robots who are actually working for Palpatine. It also makes Anakin a much better character, with a more believable turn to the dark side. Also, with the addition of new characters who end up being some of the best in Star Wars (Ahsoka, Rex, Maul, Hondo). Listen, I’ve always loved the prequels, but my dad always hated them. I had him watch like half of the storie sin clone wars and now he really like ROTS (he still doesn’t really like the first 2). Trust me, watching Clone Wars will change any prequel hater’s thoughts on the prequels, especially ROTS.

The Empire 2.0 in 7 was the stupidest thing. It states that the legacy characters were completely inept and how formulaic the new movies planned to be. Episode 8 could have shown Luke in the role of Hagrid protecting and whisking away families to a completely isolated planet. Creating a secret planetary mecca of learning and safety would have been a fulfilled arc for the young Luke and Anakin who wanted to leave Tatooine, the crappy planet. Star Wars today is infected by too many narcissistic parasites. It is going to implode under their weight. They all want their smudgy fingerprints all over the greatest franchise to have ever existed so they nuked all lore and replaced it with their own "genius". Because of their pride and incompetence, every successive movie is a relay race for course corrections. For the 9th, it's too late to build the non-existent lore enough where the actions of the characters seem interesting and impactful.

But (2) more importantly... We never got to see Han, Luke and Leia together again. If you could ask any original trilogy fan what their most basic expectation for a new trilogy would be... It's that we see our old heroes join up again for some new challenge. Yeah, sure, forty years later would would also damn well expect to see them all killed in the process...

The feminist answer: because she's a woman. The realistic answer: she wouldn't. She'd get her ass kicked.

[@BL4KBE4R]

Because the Force is Female. *duh

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

The power of VAGINAH!

Didn’t watch yet, so I’m curious to see if my opinion is shared in it. My problem with Rey was that she instantly became a master with the force. Minimal/no training, no personal growth or hardship to overcome. Even Luke seemed to have years of training and adversity to overcome before facing Vader and Yoda still didn’t think he was ready. Rey with zero experience in TFA is like “yeah imma destroy Kylo in the woods now.”

I think my favorite Uber skill she has is the ability to pilot a boat on a water planet when even the people that live there say it's impossible. But she does it no problem at all even though she was from a DESERT planet and had probably never even seen a boat! You go Mary Sue!

"the force is female". starwars and marvel are dead to me.

[@Mortred99]

Keep that, I shall claim gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear force as male!

[@jcm3732]

Dune is the new hotness. Be excited!

[@JackFrostIsHere]

Always knew that Marvel would definitely one day go to shit. That's why I've always had much higher preference for DC universe over the Marvel douche

[@enriquealexander4435]

Jack Frost EWWW WHAT???

[@beastvader]

Apparently it's a Nike ad campaign - nothing to do with Star Wars

[@mikeeone5649]

Ya she is magically the best Jedi and pilot with Zero training.Politics killed star wars.

[@LordCaedus-bl7wi]

Mikee One she is all the Jedi !!!

[@mikeeone5649]

@@LordCaedus-bl7wi lmao she is a big fat piece of doo doo

[@mikeeone5649]

She aint shit

[@prosplays3443]

Are you braindead. Cuz I can see 99% of everyone here has the biggest ego. Star Wars was always political. Yes it's for kids, but it references a lot of political and historic things. Like the whole Bush administration thing, or how the republic turned into the empire, kinda like how Germany turned from the Weimar Republic to Nazi Germany.

[@mikeeone5649]

Prosplay You people are dumb.Well we can all pretend whatever we want now.Rey is pretending to be the greatest jedi lol.

[@jedediahgordon4064]

It all makes more sense when you realize that Rey was the antagonist and Kylo Ren/Ben Skywalker was the protagonist.

[@dillond9599]

After watching the 9th movie. It looks like they followed some of your advice. Rey lost a fight, Luke showed up as force ghost to offer mentorship, Rey used her power too much and regretted it, and the story very much treated Kylo as the main character instead of Rey

[@luciesimpson6437]

It's funny how the strongest female character in hollywood is still from a film out of the 80's

[@killallnight9831]

Revan and that’s just one example, there’s plenty of well thought female characters from the past, think about lara croft

[@deanasaurs]

Ripely all day

[@johnwendland7908]

The movie Aliens had very strong, believable female characters...Ripley and Vasquez...not this SJW crap
