​With the new Star Wars trilogy currently unfolding, we're being introduced to awesome new characters, with the most significant being protagonist Rey.





As a strong female Jedi in the making, Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, is generally appreciated and loved by viewers everywhere. She's pretty much a badass and it's not uncommon for girls to want to be just like her.

However, like with any character, Rey does get hit with criticism. The most common one? The claim that she's a "Mary Sue."





A "Mary Sue" refers to a female character who doesn't show any flaws, could just be the writer's idealized self-insertion into the story, or could simply work as a wish-fulfillment. Point blank: People hate Mary Sues.





Well, Daisy Ridley has heard this claim, and she doesn't buy it.





While doing press for 'The Last Jedi,' Ridley explained how she finds the term "sexist," saying Rey was just "trying to do the right thing."

She has a point in saying Rey isn't selfish in this whole thing, like she really didn't ask for this all to happen!





Maybe, just maybe, Rey is just an awesome person, who does have flaws, but is an overall good protagonist! Is that so hard to believe, people?
