I remember watching TFA when it came out and thinking "Imagine if Rey fell in love with this crazy mass murderer. Lol there's no way that would actually happen. That would be so stupid"
And it happened. SMH --- Fammy fam ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was for sure there "I am your father" moment was going to be Kylo telling her, "No, I am your brother!
Instead it was, "You're nothing. You're no one." Which I thought, cool, fine, not everybody has to be related to somebo- "You're Palpatine's granddaughter!" fuck --- "Freedom is the right of all sentient beans" - Optimus Pintobean ... Copied to Clipboard!

people really think it would have been better if mary sue rey literally had no connections to anyone important because "it shows anyone can be hero"
even though the fact she was so strong with the force without any training whatsoever was supposed to imply she wasn't just anyone. at least her being Palpatines daughter explains her powers and connection to the skywalkers, like why lukes lightsaber reacted to her --- Fammy fam ...

I don't necessarily think it's better one way or another whether Rey is a nobody or a super special lineage. But what we got - where the trilogy couldn't decide one way or another - was definitely the worst of both worlds.
TFA very clearly was trying to build up hype and mystery around Rey's background. Tons of speculation and theories. Is she the brother of Kylo, like Jaina and Jacen? Is she related to Obi-Wan, since she also inexplicably has a British accent when other characters like Boyega's Finn were specifically not speaking with a British accent (evidently it's just totally random whether you speak American or British). I think there were already Palpatine theories around during TFA too, but with little evidence to go on it's as random as any other theory. Then TLJ says "nope! all of your little nerd theories were wrong. her family is no one. surprised u". Which is ok.... Most people think midichlorians in your blood and Shmi Skywalker having a literal virgin birth with the Force with Anakin is stupid anyway. So it's not a bad message that Rey's blood doesn't matter. I think some people reacted a little badly though because TLJ also did a dozen other "surprise! you expected an interesting answer to this question from TFA? the answer is nothing! bet you feel real silly now expecting something interesting" . So instead of that twist being really interesting it's just one thing on the pile of nothing twists. Then RoS walks it back and soft-retcons TLJ. And we don't need to get into that. Because obviously every single thing about Palpatine's involvement was unplanned. And it basically brings us back into midichorian territory. If they had just committed to one message for the entire trilogy then either side, Rey being nobody or Rey being somebody, could have worked. I guess you could say the same thing for every other narrative hook in the sequel trilogy though. --- https://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I personally really liked the idea that Rey was a no one who had just been kind of thrust into that position.

Her coming from a special lineage explains why she's so powerful.
If she doesn't come from one, then there is no explanation. She's powerful for no reason, which makes her more of a Mary Sue. When you make a character a nobody, you have to also make them completely unremarkable with no special abilities to go along with it. If you're gonna make them powerful, then they have to earn it through training and hard work. Rey didn't earn shit; she was freakishly gifted from the start, so her being a nobody doesn't work. The message isn't even that "anyone can be a hero"; it's "anyone freakishly gifted from birth can be a hero", which isn't inspirational when most people aren't prodigies like that. If she was going to be nobody, then there should have never been any mystery about her. She should have literally just been a regular person with no special abilities like Finn and Poe. The only reason people wanted Rey to be from a special lineage is because they were led to think she was from one. Subverting expectations for the sake of it, especially after encouraging people to have high expectations, isn't clever writing. It just opens other cans of worms. --- Fammy fam ...

He being no one meant that she was The Chosen One of the Force.
Her just being a Skywalker/Kenobi/Palpatine means she just inherited her powers, which is way less interesting. --- "Freedom is the right of all sentient beans" - Optimus Pintobean ... Copied to Clipboard!

Didn't Scotty make a topic a few weeks ago claiming that he had never seen the ST before and was watching it for the first time? If so, that might be the most believable thing he's ever said, because it really feels like he's trying to make up for almost a decade's worth of missed shitposting since then.

It wasn't a casual audience , it was twilight fans that the Disney was trying to get too. An abusive asshole with some doe eyed women. That is why they hate right more then the Dude Bro. She she isn't falling into his arms or when he does something just horrible to her. Besause Rey is strong and they have to find ways to weaken her. That is why they were literally calling her Rey Nobody . They are more racist and sexist then the Dude bros. well my be not more . But a close to it. --- Biden is the greatest President ever. ...
