At a certain point either you acknowledge the fact a 70-year-old man was trying to play a role he originated half a lifetime ago and just "deal with it", or you make snide remarks like a petulant child.
Honestly the only thing that bugged me was the colour of his contact lenses looked off. Other than that I'm glad the man got the chance to give the character a different, more profound send-off. The performance would have been cheapened if it was just some deepfake ####. I very much loved the last episode of The Mandalorian, but seeing an obviously faked "Luke Skywalker" deliver manipulated dialogue through a wooden computer-generated façade really cheapened the affect of the scene.

Oh Sweet Summer Child....do you not know Star Trek fans?
We're a nitpicky and self-deprecating bunch.
Maybe Data got Eye-Upgrades! They didnt even use the same actor for Bruce Maddox! So lame!!
Much like you suggested, we should 'just deal with' and move along....but thats just not how some of these people work.
