Yeah she was definitely overpowered in the movie, with how she randomly masters the jedi mind trick with no training is a bit cringe worthy along with the Kylo Ren fight. I don't think it was coming from some feminazi mary sue agenda or anything like lots of ppl were saying though, I think JJ just really wanted his character to be special and kickass.
That entire scene would have been great if Han and chewie were already on the falcon. It would have made more sense not to mention it would have been easier to accept the impossible maneuvers. It would have been a heroic moment that Han would have in the movie.

I'm beginning to think Mendelsohn's character my be a very high ranking ISB agent (perhaps the director?) rather then a Grand Admiral. It would make far more sense for a character that is part of ISB to be protecting the Death Star.
At first I thought this was supposed to be the Han Solo movie since I know he's getting one and he's the biggest rogue in the galaxy, the scruffy nerf herder. So when I saw Twitter blowing up about another main lady I was perplexed, same as when I watched the trailer.
Now that I know that this is different from Han's movie I don't really understand the issue. They needed a new protagonist, they went with a lady. Whether it's James Dean or Felicity Jones, anyone can be a rebel without a cause. Apparently people are worried that this hero will be perfect like Rey but that's silly. One: if the hero can do 600 different things to the point that they render their friends little more than salad dressing, then they're bad regardless of gender. Two: this Jyn Erso chick seems to have actual issues like a chip on her shoulder and a massive attitude towards people who are working for the good of the galaxy. These are faults that can be addressed in a good story, like Han from ANH(though obviously not the same).
Is the character a bit young to be doing all these things? Eh, maybe. Keep in mind that we're now used to adult males as the heroes due to Marvel being the biggest name in Hollywood. They seem to be going with a Hunger Games/Harry Potter like young hero. Got a lot of talent but a lot of teenaged angst. There just isn't enough in the trailer to discredit her imo.
So I think this flick looks fun for now. Obviously we gotta wait and see.
Except that these movies are now being made by Disney. And that company is way heavy in to is SJWness to Hardcore Extremes. They love to push their political and social beliefs down our throats with a lightsaber.
Like the crap they are pulling with the state of Georgia.

Rey was pretty much a female version of Luke. Although Rey was kinda like Han too in the pilot/mechanic aspect
Jyn will probably be a female version of Han? Wise cracking, attitude , snarky personality.
