but Lord Haseo, my point about Rey is that the film gives me the impression that she is awesome at everything

I have always held the contention that she is competent in many areas but the only thing she excels at is her mechanic skills. I also think that there is a big difference between competent and awesome.

and hardly makes any mistakes or has any flaws.

She does make a couple of mistakes whereas Luke (even in SW) made quite a few more and Rey’s flaws are naivety and reluctance/fear. Fear actually being a flaw I don’t remember Luke having but in general he has more flaws as well. But Rey’s story isn’t over so there are many strengths and weaknesses that could become part of her character as she is developed in the sequels. Maybe like Anakin before her she will become pompous and and that could lead her to either turning to the Dark Side or her getting curb stomped by Kylo Ren…which is happening regardless.

And my comment about people disagreeing being objectively wrong, that was obvious sarcasm.

Hell if I know in 2016…

AOTC sucks, but I’m interested in discussing similar and opposite opinions.

I am too but there is a certain level of strange behavior PT fans exhibit when it pertains to them defending their viewpoint that makes real discussion almost meaningless.
