Rey is just a bit too capable right now, I think

She has been on her own for god knows how long though! Having to defend herself and take care of herself did make her capable. It also kind of explains her personality; she doesn't have time to be whiny and probably doesn't see the point of it. Luke grew up with a family, and though he didn't live an extravagant life, he did have some small luxuries that Rey doesn't. That's besides the force stuff though, but I think it does explain her attitude and general strength.

Plus, who knows, maybe we'll get a little more substance to his character - if he rightly has one of his own - without Han in the next films.

I have to think that's why Chewie was saved. If they don't plan to bring him back in some respect, it would've been just as well to let him sacrifice himself.

Since the family connections seem to be such a trigger to Kylo, she seems to useful to the plot to kill off or shove to the sidelines soon.

I don't think that Kylo would be allowed to kill both his parents, lmao. Let's hope not. I would love for a confrontation between Leia and Kylo that shakes him to his core, but it better not end with Leia dead; been there, done that. Plus, what you said about the series having a 'mother' figure would be lovely.

It's a nice twist for a Star Wars villain, who are usually more cold and calculating rather than rash and emotional.

I definitely count Anakin from SW3, but I don't think Revenge of the Sith was a good film, and while I thought Anankin's story in that film had a lot of potential, I did not at all like the execution of it. Kylo Ren's instability and conflict felt more real and less sudden to me, and I guess it was a combination of the script and the acting. That's one of the reasons I like Kylo, actually; he feels less one-note than a lot of villains, even Star Wars villains. (That I love despite not being the most complex bunch.)

But by capable, I don't mean, confident and scrappy. I am perfectly okay with that. But her super skills at the Millennium Falcon, plus the Force and the lightsabers, it was too much. It's not as fun to watch a protagonist who is just good at everything, I'd rather see someone struggle, fail, learn, and get better. But agree to disagree there. :)
