All I could think of is the dozens of times that would have come in handy in episodes IV-VI, but he NEVER USES THEM AGAIN (what's their excuse for that? They just broke at some point and Anakin, Obi-Wan, AND Luke were ALL too lazy to fix it??). Anyway, I personally wasn't bothered by it too much, but I get why it pissed people off or they thought it was lame.
