Daisy Ridley Talks 'Force Awakens': Don't Call Rey a 'Mary Sue'
Star Wars: The Force Awakens broke domestic box-office records and, in the process, launched the career of Daisy Ridley, whose lead character Rey was one of the highlights of J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the sci-fi franchise. To clarify, a “Mary Sue” is a character, usually associated with fan fiction, and generally female, inserted into an existing genre universe who immediately exhibits tremendous and flawless skills, befriends the pre-existing main characters, overcomes odds with preternatural ease, and triumphs in the end.
