In some ways, I think Rey pretty clearly does fit the original mold of a Mary Sue. Like, she's a literal badass who's also suddenly the most important person in the universe and the most important part of the plot and who everyone loves suddenly etc. Those features are definitely there.

But I agree it doesn't come off that way at all in the movie. Partly because they do a good job making a believable and likable character, partly because it's canon, partly because Star Wars is just set up to have Mary Sue-type characters who are the center of everything in the universe so it feels right.

For me I think the big definition on if a character is a Sue or a protag. is, do they lift up the other characters or put them down?

Look at how many classic Westley Crusher episodes had other characters needing the plot to make them stupid/OOC in order to make it believable that this teenage boy could totally upstage them. Rey isn't like that, the areas where Finn flails a little feel natural and she stumbles too (like telling Han she totally knows how to use a blaster, then not remembering to take the safety off)

The only character I've seen accused of making another character act dumb/OOC is Han trusting Kylo.
