Star Wars - SPOILERS INSIDE

A character you can get invested in.

Until the Palpatine bit i was on board with her no matter how vacantly written she was. Daisy Ridley is cute and has a ton of charisma. When she's on the screen she has a big time syar quality.

I dont know how you salvage the Palpatine issue. It undermines the entirety of Vaders arc. Its a massive slap in the face to 40+ year of story telling. Asking the fanebase to just be ok with that...i dont think thats the path to box office success.

I'll say this though, aside from Palpatine, the character is totally salvageable mostly because she basically a blank slate. Becauae she was a mary sue she doesnt have a defined character at any level. You could do anything with her. Clean break. Fresh slate. Jedi wonders the galaxy and gets into wacky adventures. With decent writing i dont see how you cant get something out of it.

Ridley isnt a hack, Rey's writers were.
