Well, she was meant to be the replacement of the old crew, which I am ok with since I completely understand they cannot be the stars forever.

However, there is nothing interesting about her so far other than she being this random nobody who is suddenly becoming stronger to the level of being a Jedi master. There are no obstacles for her to really overcome other than not knowing what to do next. The main antagonist she might face has already had his ass handed to him by her in the very first movie of this trilogy with zero training.

Going to this training droid, I wouldn't be surprised if the droid exists to make a point in the movie that she is definitely beyond the need for training.

All of this might at first seem like merely reasons for being uninterested in the character. However, these same reasons make the character unlikable in this context. She is essentially acting more powerful than Vader (who was supposed to be the chosen one) or Luke. Rey is so powerful right now that I doubt even Yoda would stand a chance against her. I wouldn't be surprised if we have the Emperor and Vader come back in the upcoming movie, just to get owned by her too, and make her power level explicit! So in this way, she is indirectly taking a dump on all the beloved characters.

P.S. The only way this trilogy can be seen as interesting now is if you think of Kylo as the protagonist. We would have to root for him to finally become strong enough to beat Rey and bring order to the galaxy!
