I don't think you can cut a character's story down into its constituent parts and call them a Mary Sue for only part of the story, any more than you can say that "X is a Mary Sue for the first five scenes of this movie". Anakin, as a character, obviously has an arc and has many obvious weaknesses and character flaws that he struggles with and ultimately succumbs to, leaving aside how terrible those movies were.
Luke also clearly changes and grows as a person a ton over the course of the original trilogy. EDIT: Actually Ahsoka probably has the most significant growth as a character in the current Star Wars canon and that's largely why she's more well liked among fans, who originally hated her character as annoying in many of the ways young Anakin was.
Also how can you possibly compare MCU Captain Marvel to Thor? Thor's been through some ####. He was clearly a deeply flawed character from the start - among other things, he was incredibly arrogant and entitled, and has been repeatedly humbled, and has not always responded well afterwards.
