Rey Palpatine (Star Wars)

Rey Palpatine, later known as Rey Skywalker, is the main protagonist of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (Ranging from episodes VII, VIII, and IX). Ever since she was on the big screen, there was a huge controversy.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Rey is a dull and overpowered protagonist, as she learned to use the Force very quickly as opposed to and his father Anakin, both of whom had to be trained during the original saga to become Jedi masters. It also just screams "We had a strong independent female" type character.
 * 2) *Continuing on that topic, in ', she infamously defeated Kylo Ren in just a couple hits when yet comparing Rey's fight to Luke Skywalker's fight with Darth Vader in ', it took several hits for Luke Skywalker to take down Darth Vader.
 * 3) On the topic of Anakin Skywalker, his position as the Chosen One was almost given up to her. However, it ended up failing as even the actors in the sequel trilogy films acknowledged that Anakin was still the Chosen One.
 * 4) She was supposed to be the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy (similar to how Jar Jar Binks was supposed to be the comic relief of the prequel trilogy), but failed miserably, as Rey lacked a personality.
 * 5) Rey and Kylo Ren have a rather strange relationship despite the two hating each other, especially the latter.
 * 6) *Not helping is that in , their relationship still ends up as poorly-developed and forced.
 * 7) The moment in  where she used Force lightning, which was shown to be exclusively used by powerful dark side Force-users, contradicts established Star Wars lore. Not helping is that she used it without any training, where the usage of it requires a lot of training.
 * 8) *At the same moment, she even screeches "CHEWIE!", which is laughably awful.
 * 9) The training scene on Ahch-To in The Last Jedi doesn't make sense at all, because Rey is already so overpowered to the point that she outclassed almost every other Jedi in the franchise.
 * 10) Not only is her line "I am all the Jedi" in The Rise of Skywalker a rip-off of 's line "I am Iron Man" in , it's one of the highlights of the laughable dialogue of The Rise of Skywalker.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The idea of an all-powerful protector of the Jedi legacy is decent but poorly executed.
 * 2) Daisy Ridley's performance as her is decent.
