The alterations in the new canon feels like a direct contrast to that. If you're functionally immortal as a ghost, can appear anywhere in the galaxy you feel like, and you can still physically interact with people and objects, why isn't how to become a Force ghost the first thing a Jedi learns? JJ Abrams didn't bother thinking about that. Your line perfectly encapsulates my biggest issue with JJ, and I say that as a dude that likes his movies. Examples: his use of transporters in the new Star Trek Movies basically breaks the universe. The moment you can transport moving people/items a kabillion miles with pinpoint accuracy it makes most situations where it's not used look completely stupid. The Force Awakens, Han is able to come out of lightspeed basically in the atmosphere of a planet and bypasses the planetary shields. The issues with this are so long listed and universe altering it's hard to even know where to start. And I'm not even going to get into how the entire movie is played as if every planet is located in the same solar system. Or how Han can jump into lightspeed from inside another ship without performing any calculations. Or...ok I gotta stop before I start drinkin' blue milk straight from the titty before 8am.

If people have to choose between Hayden Christiansen, and Jimmy Smits, Hayden loses. Every. Single. Time.

Don't forget in the latest one how Poe Dameron does something similar, just blind hyper jumping about the galaxy always landing right in the middle of a storm of things while avoiding colliding with any of the countless things in between. Oh, and all the TIEs chasing him are able to accurately follow him... You know despite one of the major plot points of the previous movie being that you needed a capital ship with a special tracking device to do it before. JJ often seems more concerned with what makes a plot expedient for him to write quickly and simply than to make sense.
