RE: Why Disney knows EXACTLY what it's doing with Luke Skywalker
I respect your opinion :) I still think the movie is really good. There were things shoehorned into the movie which I think hurt it a bit (casino scene) but nothing will convince me the movie is bad. The humor was okay for star wars standards, and you gotta remember who is actually making the movie. Disney...who is also trying to market these films to children. As for the "anti-climactic" ending you speak of...Luke very well could have a very good reason for merging with the force. The story isn't over yet! We saw Yoda conjure force lightning and interact with the physical realm. Coils that be a hint of a greater power waiting for Luke in the beyond? I guess we will have to wait and see :)

I think they shoehorned the casino scene in for a reason. But they could have likely cut it some. I think there was a lot of foreshadowing there. With the previous stories, there were a lot of scenes that seemed pointless, but weren't. There were at least two obvious foreshadows that they are likely to do something with, the annoying idiot thief, and the children in the stables.
I dunno about if they will have Luke back though. It's a def possibility with the whole projections and interacting...but I kept hearing how much he didn't want to do any more movies, just like Han. He was all for killing him off. Though, I suppose he might be convinced to play a few cameos in future movies, occasionally taking part in a battle or some such.
Well it has been confirmed that Luke will be in episode 9 in some capacity, and the rumor is that he will still play a huge part. Leia was supposed to fill that tole, but since she isnt here anymore, Luke will have to do it instead. It's why they forced the "Leia flying" scene into episode 8...they didn't want to end the trilogy without showing her use the force. I get why people hate it...but I also understand why they chose to include it. My personal belief is that Luke in force-ghost form will have a major impact on what happens next...and not just talking to Rey like old ben in episode 5...but actually interacting with the real world.
