You know I was just thinking about this and I realized something. The people that hate TLJ's characterization of Luke, some of them at least, do so because they've already given up, or perhaps they never cared to begin with. They don't want a character that experiences their same disillusionment and overcomes it. They just want to be distracted and entertained. They don't want to be inspired. They just want to escape.
