No offence to Daisy but surely Rey’s story is done. Especially when you end it so badly.
Branch out! Pick a different time! You’ve got a whole universe to play in!

Star Wars has some exquisite backdrops and such flimsy dialogue. its gloriously tragic.
without fleshed out characters exhibiting humanity, its not a story.
You’re not alone - Disney Star Wars has being either absolutely fantastic (Rogue One, etc.) or absolutely trash (789, etc.). Rogue One had good characters with interesting motivations and growth. Jyn had to come to terms with her fathers role in the empire and make choices on how to tackle unclear situations.
The new trilogy featured Rey, who… never changed or grew or really faced any meaningful challenge? She was just… always stronger/better because she just was. It felt more like playing a video game where your character fights increasingly big bad guys but never actually changes skills or unlocks new stuff.
And c’mon… “somehow Palpatine has returned” is the laziest piece of shit you can think of. That’s some 5th grade fiction writing assignment shit.
I enjoyed the first movie. In retrospect they could have expanded better within the movie instead of the outside novelettes to explain each character more in depth. I don’t think she’s a Mary Sue any more than Anakin is, even less so, but again I read the backstories and get why it feels that way without them. The other two movies stumbled for a lot of reasons, ruining what I think could have been a good story. Honestly from the very start, when Luke tosses the sabre away, I was like “oh no…” Not what I wanted or needed from that.
