He has a lot of layers and that makes him an interesting character.
The ST isn't as black and white as the OT. The only dudes who are one note villains are Snoke and Hux, and they weren't/aren't really interesting at all. Kind of like Rose. One-note hero and a total waste of screen time.
You can't make another trilogy focusing on characters like that because we already saw it. What would be the point?
And this is why I actually loved TLJ so much. Luke is a somewhat different character and is far, far more interesting than if we had just gotten "i'm a really GREAT guy and i'm here to save you all!!!" Luke again. But at the end of the movie, he becomes that original character we liked so much again.
I just wish they had handled Rey's character a little better.

Whether he's a villain or a confused punk, I despise him. I don't identify with him, or feel his pain, or care why he is the way he is. He just sucks. He's an angry toddler with force powers.
God they ruined Star Wars. I agree with Tribal - the only saving move is to kick Kennedy and her lackeys to the curb, pretend these last two episodes never happened, and do a complete reboot. And sadly that won't happen.
