I didn't even mind this development but the problem was the outcome. Humanizing Luke and showing his weaker self was an interesting idea, the issue comes when it has absolutely no pay-off and he just dies without doing anything meaningful.

The outcome, and the set up of it equally. Yes, it could have been interesting, if it was something along the lines of "ya. originally I came here to do so and such, so I left a map, but then eventually I realised it was all pointless/for naught/yadayadayada, so now I just wanna be left alone and die in piece." Transitioning to a character arc of redemption or return to glory or whatever. That's not what we got though

He does redeem himself basically by the end. I guess what difference does it really make if he physically shows up, Kylo has to kill him physically which is just is a retread of Han Solo dying at the end of VII.

Actually the moment Luke/Leia have there is really beautiful, Carrie Fisher adding that dialogue was great and very natural, it's one of the most touching moments in Star Wars. 

Generally speaking, having the OT characters in another trilogy was a mistake to begin with. Should've just passed on that, or killed all of them in VII to make room for an actual new story to be told.
