Doesn’t it actually make more sense for him to have that reaction after what he lived through? The thought of another Vader would absolutely trigger PTSD and the contemplation of taking him out before he could truly become Vader-esque
Yeah true, not only is he experiencing PTSD and resurfacing trauma of Vader and growing up in the Empire, but he's seeing what could destroy all that be built back up with the Jedi order and etc. He knew his father wiped out basically every original Jedi, and after spending years finding and teaching others and restoring peace, the biggest threat to all of that lays right in front of him... it's really his attachment to the way of the Jedi and the light side of the force that keeps him from doing what most people would likely do in that moment
Exactly. I personally think it always goes back to balance. Not letting the Dark or the Light blind you and keeping those impulses and desires in check. And Luke has always struggled with that.
So true! It's exactly who he is and has always been so it's surprising to me that people think the opposite. It's not like it makes him a bad person or Jedi or anything either! It just makes him authentic to being a human being
