But not only the audience, also the actors were dissatisfied with Johnson’s work.

He was very dissatisfied with the way his Jedi role was portrayed in the film. “He’s not my Luke Skywalker,” Hamill said in an interview some time ago. Still, of course, he did what Johnson and Lucasfilm had planned for Luke. Via Twitter However, the actor hinted that he may have changed his mind about The Last Jedi to some degree.
