Rey is a Mary Sue

>b-but she's a scavenger on a desolate sand planet, of course she would be an expert pilot, mechanic, linguist, warrior and sharpshooter

And how does she suddenly teach herself several advanced Jedi abilities?

>SEXIST!!!!

Except SHE IS EXPLICITLY SHOWN TO KNOW QUITE A FUCKING BIT ABOUT HOW SPACECRAFT ARE BUILT AND OPERATED. That's the whole thing you retards are fucking complaining about. She spends the entire fucking film demonstrating her skill as a mechanical engineer and her adequacy as a pilot. You can't complain about how she is a Mary Sue who knows too much and is too skilled, AND try and disregard all the times she actually demonstrates that knowledge and skill as somehow not counting.

The fact that we are shown multiple instances in the first act that provide exposition that explains WHY she knows these things is how screenwriting works.

>She is not an engineer nor a pilot.

She clearly is. Her whole livelihood is established on being dependent on her mechanical engineering skills working in and scavenging from spacecraft, and she wouldn't have survived had she not been able to defend herself. Her abilities in TFA are overwhelmingly better established and plausible than Luke's in ANH. She worked on spaceships for a living by herself and homeless, he farmed moisture in a cozy family compound.

The only reason this complaint is occurring is because Rey is a female, and it's apparently offensive to internet dipshits that she would know how to do stuff. Nobody complains when Mad Max uses his fighting skills, or his mechanical knowledge, to NOT DIE in the story where he's a protagonist.

Dude. Just because I can take a car apart does not mean I know how to drive it. Hell, I could read a book called "How to drive a car." But I still won't be able to know how to drive it.

Also, the comparison to Mad Max is stupid as fuck. Mad Max isn't a perfect can do no wrong character. Did you not see Fury Road??

Have you ever driven a car?

"Retards"? Ableist shitlord.

Anakin is a slave and builds a fully functional Protocol droid from spare parts, and a pod racer, and can compete in a sport that no other human is capable of and speaks multiple languages.
"But but but he has the Force! And he was working as a slave in a junkyard! It's totally believable!"

Rey - Can pilot ok and knows about the changes she saw made to the Falcon and speaks multiple languages.
"Who cares that she's a slave working in a junkyard? MARY SUE! SUEEEEEE SUUUUEEEEEEE"
