And Han's experience with people like Luke and Slum planet cannibal dog monsters made him realize he was probably wrong to instantly judge anyone that knew what the fuck they were talking about (See Solo and a dozen other clips out of canon).
Han wasn't wrong...Luke didn't know what he was talking about. Luke knew how to fly, not jump through space. He had a FEW skills, but not a wide variety. That's what I'm showing you. Luke sits down and makes an ass of himself constantly. Rey constantly shocks the people around her with her competence.
Again do you even watch these movies?
Luke was raised as a moisture farmer by a couple of old farmers. Rey was left alone to fend for herself and learned much earlier how to be self-reliant, aggressive and take what she thinks she deserves. Of COURSE Luke is going to get his ass raped by natives. He barely knows anything about them. Rey however has been totally solo since she was a young kid scrapping around the planet shit-talking other alien junk hoarders. That is literally the entire intro to her.
So, Rey is this aggressive kick ass woman who TAKES what she deserves. And she works really fucking hard collecting parts to trade in for meal packs,
HARDCORE--and remember, she fucking TAKES what she wants. Just like she's going to say fuck this droid because he's worth more food than a year's worth of work will get her.
Oh..no, she empathizes with the machine she just met, is kind to it and then refuses to help herself in order for the machine to follow its dream of being returned to its master (But...but Lithose, she was waiting for her family too! That's where the Empathy comes from!!!! LOL.)
Remember when Luke, who is as you said,
much softer than Rey, had a chance to "empathize with droids"? Yeah, he didn't. He was too busy pouting. He instantly agreed to wipe the R2 unit, and R2 had to
trick Luke to get away. Luke didn't help out of the kindness of his heart--he was already showing the
flaws which would haunt him through the next film. His mind was not on what he was doing, he was impatient to get where he THOUGHT he wanted to be. Yoda was watching him, remember? Another reason he wouldn't take him as a student.
"This one, a long time have I watched. All his life, as he looked away, to the future, to the horizon..Never his mind on where he was, WHAT he was doing."
Luke's flaws were constant through the first two films. He was a dreamer, naive and impatient, and sometimes angry. Many times the answer to problems were right in front of him but he couldn't see it. Half of Yoda's lessons were about that flaw.
Now compare that with how wise and benevolent your hard woman is--who somehow has been scrounging for food all of her life, and is able to fight to survive but would surrender enough food to eat for months because of a fucking machine she just found (Which, everyone in this universe treats machines like garbage...Which is just another damn contradiction we're going to ignore.)
In the end this part of your post may as well be writing 101....
"Look at all these off screen excuses I have for the character I'm defending being able to take care of every problem she confronts with ease that impresses the older veterans who have a shit ton more experience!"
But sure, Rey is a junk rat, that's why Rey can defeat the sand guys. Because of a montage which shows her going down a zipline to get machine parts (Unless its a droid, then she doesn't sell it. It also explains why she can....Repair the Millennium Falcon better than Han can.....Fly the millennium Falcon better than Luke or Han could.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!" (That incredible piloting that seemed almost impossible and was by far the best piloting ever seen in a SW film.)
"I DO NOT KNOW!" (Actual fucking answer.)
It's also how she could use the mind trick, fight like an expert with the light saber, repel a mind invasion and then invade another person's mind, use telekinesis and defeat another Jedi's telekentic powers. Because those are things a junker learns right? Her hard life probably had Jedi training...oh nope! She didn't! She just KNOWS this stuff.
Meanwhile, Luke struggles to pull his lightsaber
out of the fucking snow after an entire movie of development. After getting his ass kicked for 10th time by a god damn yeti. (Oh and this is after he's been fighting in the rebellion for a few years. Hmm, odd. I guess being a soldier for a while doesn't actually make you instantly into an unstoppable beast for some people? Only people who collect junk for a living.)
In a way, yes. That is EXACTLY the point of why Luke is the Last Jedi and not wanting to further that system anymore but reluctantly training someone he see's exhibiting the same mistakes as his last major fuck up.
And he does just that.
What mistake? The only thing Luke was scared of was Rey's power. What mistake did she make? (You know, one example of a "flaw" hack writers give Mary Sue's, and go look this up--is that if they are flawed, its that they are "too powerful" or "too kind" and it hurts them in some way..Like Jesus. LOL. )
And yeah, time to throw out everything Luke learned. All those clearly wise lessons from Yoda and things that have toppled an Empire and saved countless millions of lives--all that, means nothing! Because bad things happened recently. lol...
They went sideways enough in the OT to literally destroy that entire order...so yeah. Maybe time to rethink and step back. Anakin was the CHOSEN ONE. How did that wisdom work out? Did it create more war and strife? I forget.
Oh come on. Luke went from " i push buttons on a water evaporator to "I just shot down an Imperial Combat pilot on my first go around and feel confident enough to clap back at Obi-Wan in the middle of him stroking his beard.
.
Stepping back doesn't mean ignoring all the wisdom acquired. It doesn't mean every old person has nothing of value to offer. Are you really arguing this? What an absolute joke. No wonder you can't connect with audiences. How about you guys have Rey write a fucking App that measures Light/Dark and show off how innovative it is as the method for replacing those fossils and their thousands of years of observation, peace and prosperity. lol.
As for Luke being a moisture farmer. The audience can suspend belief for a couple jumps into the implausible. Heck they can do that for a lot more--even I was willing to wait for Rey's abilities to be explained. But what Luke traded for that ONE fucking thing he was good at, being a pilot, was competency in nearly every other area a character can be competent in.
Tell me the area Rey is weak in, Scream. Go on. Is she a bad pilot? No. Is she a bad duelist? No. Is she bad with her use of the force? No. Does she get angry too easily? No. Is she kind of a jerk off at times and make people mad at her, like say the first droid she meets? No (Droid loves her), as does nearly everyone. Hmm. Does she make any stupid or selfish decisions, like say trading a droid she never met before, for food she REALLY wants and clearly works hard for?
Or maybe as pretentious as a farm kid that has quickly seen enough of the world early on or just have a big enough ego to be a cocky fucker and have little to no use for authority trying to "Keep Me Down". You know, like Luke and Rey and Kylo and Anakin and Han and every other character in this made up world
It's probably as pretentious as that. Which again, is why EVERY character Luke meets tells him to shut the fuck up and that he's an annoying cunt. Which is EXACTLY what he is.
I can not teach him, the boy has no patience and is angry.
"You want the impossible." (Rejects Yoda's teaching.).."I don't believe it!"
"That is why you fail."
(Remember, Luke uses Han's greed to get him to come with him half cocked--but doesn't have a plan to get out, Leia has to save them both.)
Again, and again AND AGAIN, Luke's naivety and his NEED to learn from those with more experience comes up. Its a constant theme. We watch him deal with these flaws and grow. But you...You are actually praising naivety and being pretentious as a GOOD thing. And what's worse is clearly the movie agrees with you, because a strong, powerful innovator like Rey don't need ANY old fossil corrupting her vision of the future. (She's planning to pitch her app to Empire Venture capital soon.)
