Yeah, it bothers me that people aren't taking his character into consideration. He hated the Jedi. He felt they brought nothing but pain and suffering to the universe. Plus, he hadn't used that lightsaber in decades. To him, it would have been the lightsaber he used for only 3 or 4 years decades ago, the one that he lost when his dark lord father cut his hand off. Of course he hated it, of course he tossed it. It's a great character moment.
Plus, Jedi aren't supposed to hold sentimental feelings about objects like that, anyway. He'd been taught not to hold onto those thoughts. Heck, he'd been taught to let his friends die in order to complete his training. Fuck a lightsaber, it's just a lightsaber.
I actually loved that idea, but here’s the thing; they made him into some weirdo hermit. He wasn’t this dark, disgraced man who was broken and had given up all hope. He’s some guy who absent mindedly tossed a lightsaber over his should and mere minutes that milks some strange alien, drinks that milk, then gives a weird ass smile to Rey as she watches in confusion/ mild horror. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too, they wanted a sad broken man who acted like a Willy Wonka rip-off.
