The name "Mary Sue" comes from the 1974 Star Trek fanfic A Trekkie's Tale. Originally written as a parody of the standard Self-Insert Fic of the time (as opposed to any particular traits), the name was quickly adopted by the Star Trek fanfiction community. Its original meaning mostly held that it was an Always Female Author Avatar, regardless of character role or perceived quality.
Often, the characters would get in a relationship with either Kirk or Spock,
turn out to have a familial bond with a crew member, be a Half-Human Hybrid masquerading as a human, and die in a graceful, beautiful way to reinforce that the character was Too Good for This Sinful Earth. (Or space, as the case may be.)
It's like you guys are begging on your knees for me to shot down every half assed pathetic attempt to disprove that Ahsoka is a mother ****ing an Mary Sue.
Just accept it already, idk why you guys are so up and arms about it. It's not like you can't like a Mary Sue...

Seriously guys stop an wanking ahsoka until you learn wtf is an mary su
The prototypical Mary Sue is an original female character in a fanfic who obviously serves as an idealized version of the author mainly for the purpose of Wish Fulfillment.Fav character =/= wish fulfillment. Which would be creepy to say the least.
She's exotically beautiful, often having an unusual hair or eye color, and has a similarly cool and exotic name.OK fine, but just cause she ain't ugly like Shaak Ti and has a cooler name doesn't make her a Mary Sue.
She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting.She has above average Jedi skills, several defeats, and her one Thrawn moment of tactical ability is largely off-set by her many blunders, like the one just before that.
She also lacks any realistic, or at least story-relevant, character flaws — either that or her "flaws" are obviously meant to be endearing.Hardly, see DMB's tl;dr response. As for endearing, seeing as so many people found her annoying in the initial seasons I wouldn't say that.
Often, the characters would get in a relationship with either Kirk or SpockCan't think of anything remotely similar, seeing as her love interest with minor character b goes nowhere.
turn out to have a familial bond with a crew memberErrr...
be a Half-Human Hybrid masquerading as a humanUmmm....
and die in a graceful, beautiful way to reinforce that the character was Too Good for This Sinful Earth. (Or space, as the case may be.)Too good for deez haters at least. 🙂
So how is Ahsoka a Mary Sue exactly?

Ahsoka's not a mary sue becauseI like her. Basketball is dumb, Ahsoka is great. She has stories about her, so she's not a mary sue. She's just good at literally everything and appears out of nowhere to save literally everyone. She's not a sue though. If she were a sue I'd be real about it. you just hate strong female characters. Everyone knows Anakin is perfect in literally every way, even when he has a tone of flaws that no one likes, and no one hates that. Bigot.-this thread
