The part that makes me laugh at the complaints about Phasma is that she's pretty much just exactly like Boba Fett - who people loved in the original trilogy.
Cool looking and overall inconsequential to the story line. Hell Fett didn't even have a speaking line in ROTJ, and really his only role was to get Hans from Cloud City to Jabba.
Both were removed from the movies in similarly cheesy ways too.

Nah - Luke was portrayed fine.
He was always whiny in the original trilogy too, and had trouble resisting his worst urges from day 1. Hans was always the better character.
I think this trilogy has a lot of the same cheese and plot holes that the original trilogy did (Death Star plot holes, Ewoks using rocks and sticks against storm troopers) - people are just less willing to overlook it because of nostalgia, and not having the emotional attachment that they do to the original trilogy.
