The character Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens has received a lot of criticism for being called a Mary Sue - a term for an idealized female protagonist that is unrealistic in her qualities. Actress Daisy Ridley recently responded to those accusations, stating, "The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it?s the name of a woman. Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [capabilities]. I think Rey is incredibly vulnerable, and nothing she?s doing is for the greater good.
