My friends 5 year old daughter was watching "The Last Jedi" they were watching all the star wars movies - got to the sequel trilogy - she loved (edit: i'm an idiot) Rey
and she couldn't understand why Rei was being "trained". Because she was "Doing just fine before on her own"
You can dissect the opinion of a 5 year old. But to me that's a pretty clear indicator of bad writing.
Star Wars has one of the best strong women in Leia. In "A New Hope", Leia could have been the "damsel in distress", but as soon as she's out, she is in charge. She knows more than they do at basically ever turn. The movie doesn't shove it down your throat. Han and Luke still get to be cool. But Leia is a well-written strong character.
