I think we better just heed Wook’s friendly suggestion. Not worry about what side has more firepower or something.

Literally the whole point of my post was that whenever the term gets brought up, someone will take issue with it, so we just shouldn’t bring it up, which is pretty much exactly what Wook suggested.

Moving on: I think one of my favorite quotes from TLJ is, “Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.”

I also liked Yoda’s page turner line.

What are yours?

The single best line in the film (a lot of which has to do with delivery, as with most great lines) is from Kylo Ren:

“Blast that piece of junk
OUT OF THE SKY

Use of “Mary Sue” is discussed here.

Why is it so hard to discuss the legitimate question of Rey’s abilities without using an offensive term to do it?

Because there’s nothing inherently offensive about it! I’m sorry, Frink, but I really strongly disagree on this one.

Words don’t exist in a vacuum.

There’s nothing “inherently offensive” about any word. It’s the way they’re used over time that makes them offensive.

Speaking of vacuums, I still didn’t see a problem with the Leia scene the second time around.

I liked the significance he put into that line also.

Cue 10 pages of someone arguing he thought it was Ric Olie’s starfighter.

Just there huh?

Lol.

I know that it’s been discussed in other threads; this is just the freshest instance.

I’m still not sure how I feel about it.
I think I’m ok with her discovering emergency force powers. Even normie humans can do all kinds of things under duress for survival purposes.
I still have issues with them not giving her a beautiful death, which this clearly could have been, but can come to terms with her saving herself.

What bothers me the most is the delivery of the scene. The way she is mostly vertical. It honestly looks comical.

If she was horizontal people would complain she was Superman. Instead they complain she’s Mary Poppins. #cantwin

A few things although one doesn’t really count. First of all Snoke says to Ren “Theirs been an awakening,Have you felt it… Theirs one more thing, the droid we seek is aboard the MILLENNIUM FALCON WITH YOUR FATHER”. Also there was a deleted scene of Ren searching the Millennium Falcon (Doesn’t really count). Plus in the Force awakens it would of taken time for Rey to get unconscious Finn on board the MF giving time for Ren to maybe see it. One last thing, Han might of talked about it, described or even drawn it to him before Ren turned when he was younger. These are only inferences but its worth doing them. It makes you think about it more.

They should have made her diagonal.

There was talk about angles a few pages back that might be relevant. Maybe yhwx can link to it.
