I don’t think Luke is a Mary Sue, at least not to the same degree Rey is, or even Fynn. Luke takes an entire movie and a half to learn some basic stuff and then rushes in to a trap and loses a hand as a result. The only reason he survives that encounter is because Vader doesn’t want to kill him.
Rey and Fynn both know how to use a lightsaber the second they touch it and manage to wound a guy with years of training without receiving a scratch themselves. Rey literally never makes a mistake.
George Lucas naming his mary sue protagonist ‘Luke’…
How have I never noticed this?

True. Although the part that I really feel like I should have noticed earlier is Lucas > Luke.
Usually the epiphany includes the second syllable as: Lucas > Luke S.
Son of a bi…
While I anticipated some level of self-insert, I’m shocked at how blindsided I am at this
“Son of a bi” is gonna be how a strong minority contingent of male children will refer to themselves in the next 20 or so years
Y’all have to stop blowing my mind.
The moment when Han is thinking, “Wait, didn’t she kiss him? Like, on the lips??”
Ok that one got me.
