What is Rey's most ridiculous Mary Sue power?


For me it is always going to be her perfection of the mind trick before she even realizes she has the force. I mean this is something that Qui-Gon Jin (a trained Jedi master) failed to use on Watto and Luke Skywalker in his prime failed to use it on Jabba the Hutt.

Yes I get it, women are strong, they don't always need men to protect them, blah, blah, blah I've heard it all before I don't need Star Wars to force (no pun intended) it down my throat.

It will be interesting to see what Mary Sue powers she develops in The Last Jedi.

The thing that makes MaRey Sue stand out as a Mary sue isn't just one thing but her plethora of talents and skills she possesses to deal with pretty much any situation. She's a "jack of all trades", master of all kinds of highly valuable, specialized skills despite living a very improbable menial life as a scavenger. The biggest Mary Sue offence still has to be the the inexplicable & spontaneous mastery of the force. I mean she one upped a seasoned, apparently very powerful "sith" big bad three times in the first film alone.
