Luke Skywalker: *Spends like 2 minutes fucking around with a laser-shooting droid while Obi-wan stands there telling him to feel the force n shit, never trains in person with anyone, manages to hold his own against Darth Vader for awhile and then eventually defeat him in the final movie without having ever practiced with an actual melee weapon with anyone else*
Rey: *Has defended herself for her entire life with a melee weapon and thus, when given a lightsaber, has competence with it*
Some 34 year old who plays a Bothan Diplomat in a Star Wars tabletop RPG: “Uhh y’know I think this chick is a Mary Sue and this is fucking ridiculous.”
