Anakin and Luke both have a fairly standard hero's journey style relationship with their respective antagonist/foils (Dooku and Vader respectively), where they decisively lost their first encounter. Both of them end up losing body parts over this. Rey on the other hand comes out swinging and beats the shit out of her antagonist/foil (Kylo) immediately with girl power. Weirdly, without a scratch on her, and barely even a scratch on him, despite the fact the fight is supposed to be happening with plasma blades, and he takes multiple, full force swings. But the awful fight choreo in the sequels is beside the point.
If you want a Gary Stu in the OT/PT era, it's Obi Wan. Defeats his antagonist/foil (Maul) in their first fight (and then repeatedly does so in varying degrees of cannon every time he's endlessly brought back in comics and animated tv shows), defeats the protagonist of the PT trilogy in the climax of the last movie, and even when finally outmatched by said protagonist, who was so thoroughly devastated by his loss to Obi Wan it shapes who he is as a villain in the next trilogy, he manages to make Vader's victory an empty, and pyrrhic one, continuing to humiliate him from beyond the grave. Face it, Obi Wan is the biggest Gary Stu/Mary Sue of the entire series, Rey included. He lies to anyone he wants about anything he wants to, even if it will lead to incest or fratricide, and he only loses when he decides to.
Thing is, unlike Rey, he has personality, so he can be forgiven.

Luke didn't even dare to fight Vader in 4 and lost to him in 5. Rey fucking beat Ren during their first fight without any prior training

the fandom -is- largely mysoginistic and fundamentally libertarian (like most nerds), the problem with Rey is that her character traits are downplayed by the movie, and the conflict (which characterizes her) is likewise toned down (because Disney is afraid of politics).
This results in the movies being unclear, and no one knowing what the fuck they're watching.

Both of them lost limbs.
How many limbs has Rey lost?
Oh right….

It’s mostly understood and acceptable that the hero is gonna be op and have plot armor. That doesn’t mean it’s ok for them to seamlessly be good at literally everything with 0 practice right out of the gate and never have to really struggle for anything. In both a new hope and Empire strikes back a decent chunk of the movie is Luke training. I think it might’ve been like half the movie in ESB and he gets his fucking hand chopped off and loses hard. As well he had his ass handed to him by palpating in Return of the Jedi and had to have his dad save him, and that’s when he is a fully realized Jedi.
Anakin bordered on Rey status in phantom Menace with how he’s somehow an amazing pilot as a little kid. Kid heroes though do get special plot armor. Him winning the pod race was perfect acceptable and within bounds but I will say him blowing up the station was fucking bullshit. Still he’s just a really good mechanic & pilot and doesn’t have fantastic Jedi & lightsaber powers unlike Rey. As well he has had tons of experience piloting whereas Rey can fly the milennium falcon at an expert level with literally no pilot experience. In the other 2 movies anakin has had years of Jedi training so that’s self explanatory why his feats in those are acceptable, plus even with that he gets his hand chopped off in Attack of the Clones and he burns to crisp and kills his waifu in Revenge of the Sith.
What a Rey can accomplish with really no experience or training at all goes far beyond either of the feats of Luke or Anakin. It’s not at all within the realm of believability for the universe and the story greatly suffers for it since all her victories as our main protagonist feel unearned.
I know this was b8 but I just had a bunch of caffeine and felt like going into it. I’m not even a SW dad and I know this shit.

Star Wars was for boys but they tried to make it for girls and that didn’t work so now we are all shemales

Anakin, like Paul Atreides, are about why being treated like a Mary Sue sucks
Jacob Johnson
rey = cute
Joseph Thompson
Chosen One.
Mary Sue has no flaws & is loved by everyone.

Moore got injured and, excuse modern lingo, dabbed on more than any Bond except for Craig. Connery also got almost every ally he recruited killed.

Anakin’s first duel was on Geonosis. Also Luke was on Dagobah for a long time
Angel James
>Also Luke was on Dagobah for a long time
Think it was 3 weeks, The time in ESB is kinda wonky.
Dominic Harris
>Anakin’s first duel was on Geonosis.
Did he or did not have years of training before then?
Ryder Collins
Anakin and Luke do and say cool shit. This bitch doesn't do anything. KYS pedo sympathizer.
Christopher Ramirez
The way I always understood it was he was there for a few months. Idk what the actual canon amount of time was but I’m fine 3-6 months being my head canon.
Liam Torres
Correct, add that Anakin in TPM is genuinely a good kid and that the Jedi are the space-KGB with even more retardation and hypocrisy. It's obviously not going to turn out well.
Frankly, Reys whole deal is that she's an -absurdly- gifted killing machine, and that she's essentially manipulated into working for the bad guys (resistance) through her desire for a family.
As the logical conclusion of this, it turns out she was the literal granddaughter of Satan (the antichrist), and metaphorically Satan all along.

anakin was left to die in a lake of fire hiw is that a gary stu

Beat me too it they're both flawed whiny assholes who had to grow into who they became not just magically git gud because vagina power
Landon Clark
I agree but the comic hairstyle implies it was in ROTS
Charles Cooper
Anakin's first real duel may have been on Geonosis, but he had thousands of sparring sessions with Kenobi and other Jedi. Luke had zero saber training and beat Vader, the greatest Jedi hunter ever. Not trying to defend Rey here, but Luke's power creep is wonky.
Lucas Bell
Y-yeah
Owen Gomez
They both lost arms as a result of their arrogance and grew from it. Rey never faces any consequences for her actions.
Ian Hernandez
He didn't beat Vader.
Ian Morris
His saber training was losing to Vader
Grayson Sanders
Luke trained with Yoda for a good while and wasn't prepared to face Vader and lo and behold got his shit kicked in and lost a hand.
Rey never had that humbling experience most heroes have that lights a fire under their ass.
Connor Scott
He beat him in ROTJ. He had no additional training between ESB and ROTJ.
Nathaniel Young
>Luke had zero saber training and beat Vader
What movie was this?
Unless you mean that illusion in the tree. Totally kick that guy's ass.
Liam Richardson
On that subject user...
Have you had your dose today?
Ayden Taylor
Don't forget that Rey can somehow fix the Millennium Falcon herself better and faster than Han and Chewie combined can even though they've been using that ship for longer than she's been alive
Jose Flores
Yes he did stop lying.

Not on screen you dumb faggot

You're a fucking retard, and I don't need Jedi training to sense that from you.
Ian Campbell
YOU HAVE BEEN VISITED BY REY’S DAD BIOCULUS (Formerly Trioculus). FUN TIMES WILL COME TO YOU, YOU WILL BE BASED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK, BUT ONLY IF YOU REPLY WITH “DARK GREETINGS.”

The nu-series was never redeemable. They should have made proper sequels in the 90s when the actors were alive and middle aged, but instead they went with a cashgrab remaster like idiots.
Isaac Myers
>What movie was this?
Return of the Jedi.
Or off-screen. He didn't go back to Yoda until after they rescued Han, and Yoda died right after.
Not canon.
Jackson Bennett
>Luke literally says to Yoda he came back to continue where he left off in ESB
>NO BRO HE GOT TRAINING
Ethan Morales
The discussion about "muh training" goes in circles because it doesn't matter at all for the purposes of the film.
No one would suddenly be satisfied if someone used force-time-chamber-from-DBZ and she trained for 10 years offscreen (Isweartogod).
The problem is that Anakin and Luke have actually good characterization, that ties to the overall political conflict between the different factions.
Rey has absolute dogshit characterization as a result of Disney upgrading her from a supporting character into the main character in TFA, and a pathological aversion to actually explaining the Star War in the ST.

People hated Anakin in the prequels and basically spent three movies waiting for him to become Darth Vader.

You're the type of person who thinks characters just sit in a room until they're on screen again because you lack imagination.
The same type of brain dead dope who needed a film about Han Solo's past.
