Luke was also a coddled, feckless teenager whose worst problems in life were being made to do some chores around the farm before going out to have some fun with his other teenage buddies. Rey was orphaned at a young age and had to raise herself while fending for herself. She'd already seen more shit than 21-year-old…

I think they can't be called dildos in sex shops. It's similar to how head shops have to call bongs "water pipes". If it's an outright ban, almost every woman I've ever dated is a criminal.

Paying homage more than once to Frank Herbert is never a bad thing.

Kylo Ren is not as strong as Vader, and they did a great job of expressing that without explicitly stating that. Rey may be naturally a more talented force user than Luke, and they did a great job of showing and not telling that too.

Dune ripoffs. Star Wars heavily borrows from all sci-fi and hero's journey tales.

She's intentionally a blank slate at this point though, isn't she? She's still trying to figure out who she is. Why would we know before her? Other than a unfleshed Uncle Owen and Aunt Veru in ANH, what else did Luke have on Rey?

They didn't with Luke until Empire.

I mean, I accept that Rey got much better in sword fighting towards the end of TFA, but none of the fighting had the fluidity of movement of long time practitioners of the craft like in the prequels (I know I know), and don't forget Luke miraculously blew up the death star by closing his eyes and turning off the…
