    I respectfully disagree about Luke being a mary sue. Empire is literally him training, abandonding said training, and losing a hand and getting his friend frozen; all as a direct result of his established character traits

      Conveniently ignoring a new hope I see. Because he was able to hit vermin for fun he is able to take a military aircraft and pilot it perfectly, avoiding all turbolaser fire and hitting an insanely small target. Because he killed vermin as a kid.

      He’s a Mary sue.

        Which makes literally zero sense and is the most overwhelming evidence of Star Wars fans being unhinged and ignoring reality to fit their own narrative.

        Luke was a nobody raised in a rural environment with no threats or signs of harm. Rey on the other hand raised herself on a desert planet by herself where no one protected her and she has to protect herself.

        Yet no one has a problem with Luke piloting a military aircraft perfectly a couple days after his aunt and uncle were killed and every problem with Rey swinging a weapon.
