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.
At the beginning of the film he’s shown playing with a model of his T-16 while his full size ship is in the background:

He tells Han, “I’m not such a bad pilot myself.”
He mentions during the briefing his experience with his T-16.
Although cut from the theatrical release, Luke is questioned about his piloting skill and Biggs vouches for him, “Sir, Luke is the best bushpilot in the Outer Rim territories.” This scene would later be reinstated in the SE.
As for expert piloting, in the opening moments of the battle Luke almost kills himself after flying too close to the surface.
Later he’s almost killed by a Tie Fighter until Wedge swoops in and saves him.
Luke is a flawed character that makes mistakes.
Rey on the other hand, never makes a mistake and is the best at everything she tries.
That’s the difference between the two.
