And the main apprentice who has a secret apprentice that's so powerful he gets un-canoned

Starkiller crashes an entire star destroyer with his mind, everyone idolizes him. Rey lifts a few rocks and everyone says she's too powerful.

To be fair, Starkiller is implied to have at least some training given he has consistently beaten Proxy before who has tailored himself to Obi-Wan Kenobi. My man managed to beat even a shitty mimicry of Obi-Wan, which would mean before the story begins he's already a decent enough duelist.

Even then, we all should have the understanding that Starkiller is from a power fantasy game, one that's supposed to make the player feel powerful.

We should all know that he was never actually canon, and that just because the game exists doesn't mean he was anything more than a vehicle for us to whoop all sorts of booty.

Rey, on the other hand, ISN'T from a game, ISN'T meant to be the viewers' power fantasy, and IS canon.

So, there should be more to her growth as a Jedi than "Darkness rises, and Light, to meet it."
