Yeah, I thought it was going to be Windu.

I hated it for multiple reasons:

1. the uncannyvalleyness of the CG. Why oh why can't they get this stuff right? Disney has unlimited money and there are kids doing deepfakes on youtube in their bedrooms that look better. It's not even as good as the de-aging that Marvel did in Ant-Man and GotG2.

2. they KNEW that the CG didn't look right so Luke had fuck-all to do or say. He was basically a prop.

3. the CG body double Luke carving it up through the new battle droids was a shallow repeat of Vader in Rogue One. And it's nice to know that droid tech hasn't improved at all since the "roger roger" days.

and continuing from my response to bob above,

4. the use of Luke as a deus ex machina with a cameo from Artoo is a pathetic acknowledgement from Disney bosses that milking Star Wars for nostalgiabucks from ageing Gen Xers is now the priority. It's sad.
