Her whole concept was kinda crap tbh.
The first scene with Finn going rogue was amazing and held so much promise. Ultimately they just discarded him as an interesting character, and with it the chance to make take an amazing new approach to that universe. Like that annoying scene where he has to tell Rey something important, and then it’s just never discussed again? Terrible writing. I won’t even get started on their brutalising of old icons to make room for new IP.
Ultimately mouse corp just want to sell as many plushies and action toys and Legos as they can, so they’ve made Star Wars more attractive to kids and less interesting to adults (because it’s easier to amuse kids than adults, also times are tough and it seems most parents prefer to spend discretionary funds on their kids rather than on themselves). It’s partly why there’s loads of visually interesting new characters that have next to zero impact on the story (hello, Knights of Ren).
It’s shit but it’s working- kids love it.

Rey wasn’t awful she just was boring. No charisma or anything interesting about her. Finn should have been a Jedi. A stormtrooper switching sides would be a good story. The Rey trilogy had too many trivial characters and subplots that could have been interesting but never developed into something.
Shocking they are trying to flog the last trilogy dead horse.
Ahsoka looks very promising, the trailer was great. Zeb was already in the Mandalorian. Ahsoka, Bo Katan and Sabine Wren are all powerful females, Rey is nothing compared to them.
