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.

MCU not comics.
Anaikin the child in Phantom menance compared to Leia the child in obj wan that was brought up in Matata’s girl power video.
Rey grew and failed in the 2nd two movies in almost the identical fashion to Luke.
I agree Ashoka is a much more developeme characters.
Remember I’m not arguing that these female characters arent poorly written Im arguing that society selection of who is a Mary Sue is based on gender of characters rather than traits of characters.
