One thing about Luke and Kylo in TLJ:

Everyone’s saying “How could Luke possibly think for even a second about killing his own nephew?!” but, unless I missed something HUGE in that movie… he did not? He says he saw the darkness in Kylo and immediately turned his lightsaber on in pure instinct, which is very, very different to “wanted to kill him”. S’like… y’know that old movie trope where Person A is in a mildly menacing situation, and they hear a noise and turn around and point their gun ready to fire (or in some cases actually fire) only to have Person B yell “Don’t shoot, it’s me!” It was like that.

And even then Luke felt guilty about it!
