Are you friends retarded?

In the first five minutes of the film Finn is with a landing party performing the space version of an amphibious assault. He is obviously not a POG. If they think he's POG because he had a job on the death star maybe it's because the First Order is less retarded than the US military and gives combat personnel something productive to do when they aren't on the front. Sanitation is the perfect off-job for a grunt who isn't on the front line.

I assume he was just there because it was needed for his fitrep

It is awesomely, hilariously bad. I still need to watch the second half, but the first half is funny as all hell. The evil Imperial guy staring brain-brokedly into the holo-boombox playing a terrible Jefferson Starship video delivered by an Art Carney who seems to be on the verge of breaking into a magic act is simply amazing.

Speaking of Rey, what are people's thoughts on the complaint that she's a Mary Sue?

Like I can't disagree since the movie shows her as inherently good at literally everything (often without any training whatsoever) and she doesn't have a whole lot of apparent flaws holding her back, so she checks off a lot of the boxes for "lovely fanfic Mary Sue character".

But on the other hand, she was genuinely fun to watch and even Rey seems somewhat shocked with how easily she can do some poo poo so it kinda mitigates it, and also Daisy Ridley is cute as heck.

alot of people view force powers through an rpg/video games/prequel lenses. that all the powers are slowly upgraded and poo poo. but its been shown in the first movie thats not the case.

Honestly I don't think they'd be saying that if she were a male character. Heck, she checks all the same boxes as Luke Skywalker in the OT (arguably even fewer boxes, since Luke is likely Lucas' wish-fulfillment character and I don't see which author's wishes are being fulfilled by Rey) and hardly anybody calls him a Marty Stu. Plus the Star Wars franchise and the pulp works they're based on are full of improbably-talented people, so it's a little odd to single Rey out.
