How come y’all have a problem with this but not Luke’s expert piloting and his ability to use the force to target a laser torpedo into a narrow exhaust port with like ten minutes of training from Ben?
Edit: the only difference between the two characters that would make Rey a "Mary Sue " but not Luke is that Rey is a girl, and it’s really hard to pretend otherwise.
I don’t even buy the “Rey is a Mary Sue” argument, but that is not a very good analogy. Those are two very different things that can’t even be compared. Believe me, if Luke was able to best another lightsaber user in a fight after 10 minutes of training with Ben, I’d have just as much of a problem with it. But he didn’t do that, he used the force to guide a golf ball into the hole.
That said, I don’t have a problem with either situation, and I think “the force” is a sufficient explanation for both.
