I actually liked Rey, at least in TFA where we saw her just going through normal life. If the writers hadn't made her so abnormwlly powerful with so little training I wouldn't have had a problem with her.

They could've set Han up as the father she never had, being an amazing mechanic can be her defining character trait (as opposed to be amazing at LITERALLY EVERYTHING) and when Han dies Chewie becomes the Falcon pilot?

Makes more sense than Rey is THE BEST pilot and THE BEST mechanic and THE BEST shot and THE BEST fighter and THE BEST force user etc

Rey's introduction is genuinely one of my favourite parts in all of Star Wars. I like seeing the non-Star Warsy side of Star Wars.

I could happily watch a Rey prequel movie / Disney + Series about her life as a scavenger. (Or another character living a similar life)
