I don't think Luke is a Mary Sue, at least not to the same degree Rey is, or even Fynn. Luke takes an entire movie and a half to learn some basic stuff and then rushes in to a trap and loses a hand as a result. The only reason he survives that encounter is because Vader doesn't want to kill him.
Rey and Fynn both know how to use a lightsaber the second they touch it and manage to wound a guy with years of training without receiving a scratch themselves. Rey literally never makes a mistake.

True. Although the part that I really feel like I should have noticed earlier is Lucas > Luke.

Usually the epiphany includes the second syllable as: Lucas > Luke S.

The moment when Han is thinking, "Wait, didn't she kiss him? Like, on the lips??"
dalekcaan@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 118d
Right before he gets a big goofy grin on his face.
I see you Han. I know what you're into.

Son of a bi...
While I anticipated some level of self-insert, I'm shocked at how blindsided I am at this

"Son of a bi" is gonna be how a strong minority contingent of male children will refer to themselves in the next 20 or so years

J.G Ballard naming his main character who finds car crashes hot Ballard.

Nice! A Ballard mention out in the wild. His stories could really creep into my mind.
