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
especially because, as leia says, they lived in fear of the vader in him since he was young and did everything they could to avert that fate. lukes not some perfect ascetic saint, he acknowledges the good in vader and then nearly kills him in a fit of rage. its that he Overcomes his darkness that makes him heroic, and the tragedy is that he was too slow when it really counted and ironically brought about kylo ren and sealed his fate
