I can't dissect her shitty character non-arc any better than Matthew Kadish from Medium did in his 8000-word annihilation of a poorly written, poorly conceived, poorly executed Mary Sue.
And...Grogu is literally nothing BUT a toy commercial.

"Since a Mary Sue is partially defined by her ability to upstage all other characters she shares a scene with, regardless of those characters previously established skills and abilities, let us look at how Rey does this to other characters in Star Wars:
Rey beats up Finn upon first meeting him, despite Finn supposedly being a trained Stormtrooper.
Rey is able to fly the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo, who is considered one of the best pilots in the galaxy.
Rey is able to fix the Millennium Falcon easier and quicker than either Han Solo or Chewbacca, whoâ(TM)ve flown the ship for decades.
Rey is able to shoot a blaster more accurately than a trained Stormtrooper, despite never having fired a blaster before.
Rey is able to resist Kylo Renâ(TM)s Force interrogation technique, and even turn it around on him to read his mind, despite Kylo being a trained Force user and Rey never having used the Force before.
Rey is able to defeat Kylo Ren in a lightsaber duel despite never fighting with a lightsaber before and Kylo Ren being a trained saber user.
Rey receives condolences for Hanâ(TM)s death from Leia instead of Chewbacca receiving Leiaâ(TM)s condolences, considering Chewbacca had a far closer relationship with both Han and Leia and Leia never having met Rey before.
Rey is chosen to go retrieve Luke Skywalker, despite the more sensible choice being that of Leia.
Luke becomes frightened of Rey after seeing her âoeraw powerâ with the Force being equal to that of Kylo Ren.
Rey defeats Luke Skywalker in one-on-one combat, despite Luke being a trained Jedi capable of defeating Darth Vader, arguably one of the most skilled Force combatants in history.
Rey defeats numerous Praetorian Guards and helps to save Kylo Ren during the battle, despite having very little experience in fighting multiple opponents at once.
Rey shows she has mastery over the Force on a level with Kylo Ren when struggling over possession of Lukeâ(TM)s lightsaber despite Kylo having years of training and Rey having weeks worth of training.
Rey is able to get a âoetriple killâ by destroying three First Order TIE Fighters at the same time in the Battle of Crait, despite never firing the Millennium Falconâ(TM)s guns before.
Rey is able to move a mountain of rocks from the Resistance base on Crait, despite never having trained for such a feat, and which no Jedi in the Star Wars films has ever before demonstrated. Thus, she upstages Luke in respect to being the one to actually save the survivors of the Resistance."
