[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7877143, member: 4937"] But Luke isn't marked by competence. But Rey has vastly broader and deeper skills than Luke. Of course you won't, because you can't. I didn't make one attack on Rey's character at all. I made no disparaging comments about her at all. Indeed, I attributed to her wisdom, power, cunning, martial prowess, technical competency, and heck even likability. She's the full package. This is so demonstrably backwards of everything, that you are obviously emotionally overwrought. The argument I developed didn't elevate Luke at all. My entire argument was based around showing just how immature, unskilled, whiny, and well wrong Luke was again and again in the OT trilogy. I wasn't creating an argument around building him up, but on showing how weak he really was. How many times does Han Solo save his life? How many times does Obi Wan Kenobi save his life? Yes, Luke has some core competencies, but one of the classic complaints you will hear from people who don't like the OT is just how unlikable Luke is through much of the trilogy. "But I wanted to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters" is a meme. [/QUOTE]
