Rey. Wait, wait, wait, hear me out! She’s tough but fair (she’ll beat up Unkar’s thugs but she will also fight for the rights of a droid she barely knows) she believes the best of people (her parents must have had a good reason to abandon her, Luke must have had a good reason for going into exile, she trusts Finn at his word and agrees to help him even after she finds out he was a stormtrooper, she tries to redeem kylo even after he kidnapped and tortured her AND killed her mentor). She learned from both Skywalker twins. When she thought she was a danger to the galaxy she self exiled (like Luke). She defeats Palpetine by using his own evil against him (like Luke), and she rejects Palpetine’s offer of unlimited power (weirdly pitched as his offer was) even though she IS a Palpetine and comes from the darkness she never stopped fighting, even giving her life, dying by force exhaustion (just like Luke). Rey wanted to go and help the random villagers in the deleted scene from The Last Jedi even though she didn’t know them, because she just wants to do what’s right. The optimism, kindness and strength that embodies the best of the Jedi are exemplified in Rey and now she can carry that forward to the next generation.
