The idea that
Jar Jar Binks hasn't suffered humiliation is simply beyond gibberish. Jar Jar is humiliated by the Jedi, by the Gungan authorities, by the movie itself by treating him as a minstrel show character. Jar Jar is humiliated in the narrative and the meta-narrative. Just fucking stop. The "Jar Jar: Sith Master" meme is a
fucking joke because Jar Jar is a
joke character. And he's a joke character with an exaggerated black accent. He's an insulting and racist character that embarrasses everyone.
Anyway...

No. It's a moving space worm. Flying inside a stationary Star Destroyer hull is impressive, but significantly less of a feat than flying out of a moving space slug that's trying to eat you or attaching yourself to a star destroyer that is moving and actively trying to locate and attack you. Those are just more impressive things to do. Further, Han does that forcefield jump that Rey can't
in the actual movie with Rey in it. Rey isn't the best pilot in every movie, she explicitly isn't even the best pilot in the movie where she is shown being a pilot.
Now you can make the argument that Rey's piloting is accompanied by more impressive visual effects than the various shit Han gets up to. That's fairly obviously a question of A New Hope and The Force Awakens having budgets of $11 million and $245 million respectively. But Rey's piloting is very specifically not better than Han's
in world. Not between movies, and not within her own movie.
