I found that a good watch as well Logos. To all the people who scream that we're sexist for thinking Rey is a weak character, watch that.

Even I have to admit that this video makes solid points all the way through.

The highlights about Rey made a lot of since and I agree with most of the video.  She was just a character who popped up and started to kick butt without any form of training other than the small amount that she mainly did on her own in TLJ.   

Didn't care for that Boba Fett video, it was more of a rant than facts and info

I'm not sure that really counts as training. Compare what she did to your own training videos. You both are physically working alone, but you have had Masters Resolute, Graestar, and Venturous and a few others to give you tips and pointers and you have progressed magnificently. Rey, on the other hand, picked up a saber, swung it at a rock for 20 minutes or so with Luke watching in the background, and could suddenly defeat the most elite soldiers in the galaxy.

Agreed and you're too kind in regards to my spin and progress. I have great Masters and teachers to help guide me.  Samhain and Silenoz has also been ones to help me get my form and spins correctly too.   Rey on the other hand, just like you mentioned, practiced for a bit and then defeated guards that were trained to protect the Supreme Leader... There's no story into her progress

When talking about Rey's lightsaber skills I love showing off this little video I found. (quite enlightening)
Really shows how bad Rey really is.

What's really sad is that the 2D heroine has less character development than the 2D villain. Cry

I've got absolutely no problem with the way Rey was in TFA. Abrams set her up for a ton of character development in Eps. 8 and 9. Unfortunately, Rian took the potential she had and instead of keeping it as potential, he used it as a way to show how powerful she is. Not how powerful she could be. I'm hoping Abrams can find a way in Ep. 9 to redeem all the characters that Rian ruined. I don't remember where else I said this, but the only character Rian actually improved was Kylo. Poe did nothing, Rey was ruined, Finn should've died saving the Resistance (would have actually redeemed a character that I didn't care for from the beginning), and Rose just annoyed me to no end. I will still enjoy TLJ (because that is who I am), but it most certainly has it's problems. TFA too. I wish that Abrams had been willing to (at the time) direct the whole trilogy, because it would have been a much better overall story had he been allowed to complete his vision.

I saw a vid that elaborates a very conceivable plot to resurrect Sidious. The main point was that this would be the best course of action since the character doesn't need to be set up. He's already long established.

Well where is this vid you speak of? I would like very much to see it.
