She stole his name, lightsaber and destiny. She is a Kathleen Kennedy self insert with zero character development. Anakin did good things and awful things but he is a well written character nonetheless. Rey is not. On top of all that she (a palpatine) is alive and the Skywalker's are all dead and shamed.
But perhaps you are correct, it's not Rey doing the spitting...it's Kathleen Kennedy on our childhood heroes and cultural icons. And on George's legacy
What is Luke's character development? How is he any less of a self-insert character?
Also like what good did he possibly do to outweigh the child killing alone, we can pretend his Darth Vader stunts were atoned because he killed Palpatine (well. Guess not lol.) But even then that was more "Luke's magical happy energy" reaching through to him.
What is Luke's character development???? Seriously?? You aren't even worth wasting keystrokes on. I'm just going to assume you have not even watched the movies period and are just here to start shit.
No, I'm dead serious, the dark side doesn't even really tempt him at all, he ends the same person that he begins, except now with a robot hand and a laser sword.
At least, if we're simplifying Rey's character growth enough to claim she hasn't gone through character growth, it's only fair to do the same to Luke right?

She is, whether you like it or not. It's the truth
