Anakin is a Mary Sue

>>64485133
People aren't angry at Rey because she's a Mary Sue. They are angry because she's a strong character who is a woman. Most of the stars of the OT and the prequels were pretty much "Mary Sue's" if you think about it.

I feel sorry for Jake Lloyd. He got white slaved by George Lucas.

>he's a slave and needs someone else to win his freedom

They helped him gain his freedom but he helped a Queen, two Jedi, and their entire fucking entourage get off of Tatooine. He did more for them then they did for him.

>he didn't design the droid, just put the parts together, something a hairy-handed sasquatch can do

That's retarded reasoning and even then he still built the pod racer.

>the starfighter was on autopilot, blowing up the space station was sheer luck

Which is even more retarded.

actually, that was the first podrace he even finished, much less won, but no OP, even back when it came out, no one pretended anakin wasn't a stu in tpm. Of course, then they overcorrected and aotc Anakin was basically nothing but failure and flaws.

No one called him that either. And they certainly weren't lining up to blow Max Landis over it.

Seemed like most people had a problem with Jake Lloyd being a bad actor.

That is a terrible explanation for what happened, they were manipulating basic building blocks trying to create a powerful force sensitive being and essentially one of the experiments succeeded but not how they intended

Because it wasn't controlled, or because the will of the force won't allow for that kind of manipulation, a being was created in the force but outside their direct control, in shmi skywalker.

In was more a backlash effect instead of something on purpose.

Space jesus was essentially a galactic mistake.

They didn't though. We already know from the OT the force has a genetic element.

>>64486239

They're merely a way to get a rough estimate as to how force sensitive you are

makes no sense for the old and powerful Jedi Order to have no figured out a way to correlate Force sensitivity with some property, wait it does

ITS FUCKING GENETIC

>>64486318
why would i watch a shit movie when i can go to my local theater and experience the best star wars ever put on screen ?

Because you're trolling for (You)'s.

>>64485894
Anakin, the supremely arrogant padawan gets his arm cut off fighting one of the most skilled duelists the Jedi had (before he left obviously).

Luke, the guy rushing off in the middle of his training gets his hand cut off by the guy who wiped out the Jedi order practically on his own, who was supposed to have the greatest connection to the force anyone had seen.

Rey, the girl who had enough proficiency with melee weapons to fend off two attackers, wins against a guy whose training is explicitly incomplete, who just got shot with something shown to be powerful enough to blow up cars if they existed, who just killed his father after days if not weeks if not years of struggling with the prospect, who just finished fighting a stormtrooper, and who wasn't even trying to kill her anyway.

Whoa it's SO weird that Rey didn't get fucked up as bad as the other two.

>>64486398

>comparing Dooku and Vader to Kylo

This has to stop. The movie made in painfully clear that Kylo's training was incomplete. Comparing him to two fully trained Sith Lords is unfair.
If you wanna talk unrealistic, talk about how Maul lost to a padawan after just killing a Jedi Master.

>>64486419
>Rey, the girl who had enough proficiency with melee weapons to fend off two attackers

Using a staff =/= using a lightsaber. Also Kylo had the upper hand over her until she activated force super saiyan mode, where she got instantly skilled

>wins against a guy whose training is explicitly incomplete

Who could freeze a blaster bolt for years and trained under Luke for years, while Rey just figured out the force was real and could overpower him mentally and beat him a force pulling

> who just got shot with something shown to be powerful enough to blow up cars if they existed

Like I mentioned before, Kylo was still having the upper hand until Rey goes super saiyan. The injury meant jack shit

>who just killed his father after days if not weeks if not years of struggling with the prospect

That would make him more dangerous, not less

>who just finished fighting a stormtrooper

Because he sure did have a hard time putting down Finn

>and who wasn't even trying to kill her anyway

Neither was Vader

Yeah Anakin sucks and is a mary sue. But everyone knows the prequels suck and Anakin is a meme. The problem is people try to act like the Force Awakens is a great movie and Rey is a great character when she's an even worse Mary Sue than Anakin.

>>64490833
The Mary Sue-posters do have a point, but the only part that felt really unrealistic regarding her character to me was the mind trick she pulled.

>>64485133
Because he wasn't created by a fan. Mary Sue is so often misused that when it is actually used correctly those using it are still criticized for using it wrong.

heu

>>64492390

if George Lucas had made Anakin kill Darth Maul the first time he picked up a lightsaber in TPM he would have been assassinated

In terms of plot probably, but they spent 3 films building his character up.

What people are reacting to is that they just dropped in this character out of nowhere who is literally the most powerful person in the universe.

THIS.

rey is 100% perfect. and they hammer her in so bad. the whole thing where she's like "why u holding my hand", she does it like what, 3 times? she gets involved in the story ONLY because of bb8 but apparently now she's a force sensitive amazing (allegedly) descendant of luke?

she uses force powers that she couldn't know existed, she beats up stormtroopers, she flies the millenium falcon with perfection, better than han solo, knows about secret stuff in the ship he didn't, and has to tell him basic shit like whatever button in the front panel han somehow didn't know about. and the fucking lightsaber vision...and then everybody loves her. when han dies (allegedly), leia hugs her like they were lifelong friends and chewbacca stands there like a dope and leaves. WHAT THE FUCK?!

then when fighting ren, she just goes "...the force..." and beats him?! the kylo was injured argument is fucking bullshit. how can we have a main villain be obliterated by this NOBODY in the first movie?!

she is the DEFINITION of mary sue. jj said it himself in interviews, he wanted boys AND girls (equally) to be into the movie, so what does he do? a black dude with a NONSENSE story being almost reduced to comic relief and being bad at pretty much everything, and a whiney am-i-supposed-to-believe-ford+fisher=that-face poser. also poe who is allegedly gay and has a few minutes of screen time.

there are no normal men in the movie, let alone perfect hero men, but they are still the best part of the movie. boyega, driver and isaac are the highlight of the movie (ford doesn't count)

rey is infallible.

i think JJ is ok but they fucked it up with the script big time.

coming soon, Ep VIII when Rey teaches Luke how to use a lightsaber

>>64493340

I related to him almost entirely growing up

he even looks similar and I had a big thing for Padme
