[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8876333, member: 5889"] I agree. While I had some beefs with aspects of RoP, this was never one of them. Galadriel is established as a long standing warrior that has been killing orcs longer than some of the mountains around you have stood. And she's one of the early generation elves, and in Tolkien everything early is just plain stronger. She should be utterly dominant in most fights. I can respect the argument of "how does this galadriel become the more serene lady we see in LoTR", and to me that's one of the things the story should show me over time....but I have no issue with her being awesome at the beginning. So the real issue with Rey is not only is she badass (for seemingly no reason but its a fair critique that luke is a pretty great pilot without training himself), but she also never really has a big challenge or issue to overcome in her main story. Luke in the first movie lost both of his adopted parents and Obi Wan, and then in the second movie suffers several more setbacks and losses. In comparison Rey just kind of keeps getting stronger and winning, she never really suffers much in the way of setbacks. That's the main beef people had with her. [/QUOTE]
