Well, thought I would post this hear. Decided to look up some of the spoilers for "The Last Jedi" . Won't mention anything obviously but If what I have read is true, since some critics/others have watched early viewings of it, then I probably won't go to see this. You guys can probably find the spoilers on youtube if you want if you want to know what I'm talking about but all I can say is this is horrible, horrible writing. At this point I will not even go to see the 9th movie because from my perspective there is no way they can salvage this.
With that out of the way I will mention, with warning, one spoiler that pertains to Rey's parents because I think that was something people who enjoyed the character would always fall back on when people would accuse Rey of being a Mary Sue. From what I have read there is nothing in that area. Literally, you find out that her parents are nothing but Junk scavangers. In other words, theres no shes the secret daughter of look Skywalker or she use to be a trainee at the Jedi acadamy who got her mind wiped by look. She is a nobody with nobody parents. Only thing she has is that she is strong in the force which as I pointed out, and was pointed out in some of the movies, does not mean you can automatically go out without training and kick other peoples Asses. This was shown in the previous movies and in written characters (Revan, Bane, Kreia, other female force users, etc). So, the excuse of "well we don't know her background" doesn't hold any weight anymore. She is just an example of a badly written character.
Also, as a side note the actress who plays Rey after a year of the Mary Sue alegations actually responded and it was just plain bad:
"The Mary Sue thing in itself is Sexist because it's the name of a woman", Ridley said.
smh... if you want to see more about it you guys can watch this video:

Anyway, "if" these spoilers based on reviews turn out to be true I am defintely not going to go watch this film or the next one. Looks like whoever at Disney is doing a horrible job with managing this franchise and even going against rules previous established in the other movies. I really hope this is all wrong (including all the other spoilers) but if not Star Wars is dead to me now.
