I guess space magic works in mysterious ways...but it's extra mysterious when it's a girl, of course.
Luke Skywalker didn’t destroy the Deatj Star by himself. He was helped by his fellow pilots and Han Solo. He also didn’t master the force in a span of the day and move tons of boulders and perform Jedi mind tricks. In the second movie he challenges Darth Vader and gets his ass kicked
Sonyou’re one of those “but the original trilogy was bad too” folks
Speaking of Han Solo, his hairy buddy shooting Kylo Ren in the torso with a bowcaster probably played a hefty part in Ren's defeat. When fighting an opponent that's NOT significantly wounded, Rey got her ass kicked in the second movie as well. Whoops.
The main character having unrealistically special abilities simply because they're the main character is only bad when you deem it so. I don't consider it a bad thing because I realize this is a fantasy series and that's a basic fantasy trope. I love the original trilogy, I just don't despise the sequel trilogy because the wish fulfillment character happens to have a vagina this time.
