Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy have spent 34 years dreaming and wondering about what happened to their childhood idol after the events of Return of the Jedi. They read comics, stories etc throughout that time to give them their own interpretation of what happened. In these stories, Luke was very powerful and rightfully so. Now, even though those old stories are no longer canon, lots of people still believed and hoped that Luke would be a strong figure whom would show off the jedi abilities that he had learnt in all that time.

When Luke became a hologram the nostalgoa was unbelievable, a lot of people really thought he was going to take them on, even though Disney had made him a hermit figure (which a lot of people were dreading). Then when he disappeared at the end into a force ghost this was the last straw for many fans. It means that they would never get to see what they have wanted to see for decades. How strong Luke had fully become.

In the entire film there was no Lightsaber to Lightsaber combat at all. Which is extremely disappointing for fans of the franchise who enjoy watching lightsaber combat which has been in every star wars film, except this.

Many are saying it's a great Movie, I agree. A great Star Wars film? No. The characters could have been handled better, especially Luke who Ryan Johnson decided to pop-off because he believed he was interfeiring with the new main characters.
