Fortsetzung:
„We also know that Rey is much more powerful than Luke. He tells her in The Last Jedi that he’s only seen one other person with such power, and that’s Kylo Ren. (Though obviously Snoke is incredibly powerful, too, but I don’t know if Luke ever encountered Snoke in person.) Combining this raw power with her lack of inhibitions and her emotional connection to the Force and you start to see how training is just one of many factors in becoming a Jedi.
But what about the mind-trick? Well, first of all I think this was just a way to include Daniel Craig’s cameo in that movie and intended to be more humorous than anything, but there’s actually two things that happened before it that might lend a clue. First, the vision Rey had when she touched Luke/Anakin’s lightsaber. We don’t know how much that truly conveyed to Rey. We see the montage and hear some words but we don’t know everything that it imparted in her. Whatever the case, something changes in her after that moment. A spark is lit.
Later, Kylo Ren uses his magical Force powers to try to read her mind but she resists. She doesn’t do this because she knows she has the Force, she does it because she can. And she can because, wait for it…the Force is a magical power that exists in everything and everyone and certain people are sensitive to it and can tap into it whether they realize it or not. (Broom boy at the end of The Last Jedi uses a Force pull to grab the broom but I think he does it without realizing, kind of like you blink without meaning to and never notice it unless you consciously pay attention to blinking.)
In any case, Kylo Ren uses his mind powers on Rey and this is what lights the Force fire in her. She realizes she has powers at this moment but I also think when she goes inside Kylo Ren’s head she gets more than just his thoughts. She actively taps into his abilities and consciously or subconsciously takes that knowledge with her. That’s how she knows how to mind-trick the guard (though again, I think that was meant to be a funny scene, not a scene we all argue about because we’re so obsessed with calling Rey a Mary Sue.)
In any case, Rey goes to Ahch-To at the end of The Force Awakens to get training from Luke. See, she’s such a Mary Sue that she even realizes she needs some training!
But in true Star Wars fashion, she only gets a little bit of training. We see how good she already is with her staff, and then Luke gives her some training on-screen and, we are left to assume, some off-screen also. Apparently people think that only the on-screen stuff happened, but I think it’s reasonable to assume that time passed and she received more training than we actually see.
That’s not really important though. This entire sequence mirrors the Dagobah scenes from Empire Strikes Back. We have the training, the dream sequence in the cave, and so forth, with Luke teaching instead of Yoda, though the impish Jedi Master makes a surprise appearance to help Luke out of his own quandary after Rey has left.
The whole “Rey leaving” thing is what’s important, of course, since it’s exactly what Luke did in Empire Strikes Back when he learned that his friends were in danger. Yoda tells him not to go, that he hasn’t finished his training, but he goes anyways and fights with a lightsaber despite never having used one.
Rey goes before her training is complete also, and into even greater danger. She wants to turn Kylo Ren away from the Dark Side and thinks she can because they share some kind of Force connection.
This is where the entire Rey-is-a-Mary-Sue argument falls apart into a million tiny, stupid pieces. Rey is fooled handily by Snoke. She is fooled into thinking she can turn Kylo Ren and even when it seems like she was right, when he kills Snoke and saves her life, it turns out she was wrong all along. She places herself in grave peril and barely makes it out alive, and only survives because Kylo Ren saves her from Snoke and then helps her take down Snokes guards. (Again, he fought most of them while she only barely fought off one.) The final showdown between her and Kylo Ren over the lightsaber resulted in a tie, though she wasn’t knocked unconscious. I’m not sure if not being knocked unconscious makes her a Mary Sue. Probably to some people it does.“
