Star Wars, from the beginning, has a lot of basic elements that are basically magic - BEFORE you get to mystical stuff like The Force and Mortis Gods and whatever. Gravity, for example. As far as I can tell it's never been explained how all those flying vehicles defy gravity...they just...DO. Accept it. Move on. I would say it's like gravity isn't a thing, but most people don't float off of the ground .
Rey is not a Mary Sue. She may be a flat character, or a poorly written character, or have elements of wish fulfillment or enable audience projection or whatever . . . but she's not a Mary Sue. Neither is Luke.
You Can't Watch the Star Wars Holiday Special (Legally), But You Can Soon Watch Its Documentary When she was on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, Carrie Fisher said that before she agreed to do something for Lucas in the '00s, she made him send her a videotape of the special because she couldn't remember any of it.
With Dave Filoni now in charge I wonder if this project gets scrapped or do they go ahead with an actual plan this time?
