I think people forget (even the movies themselves sometimes) that Luke is not and never was a fully trained Jedi. He is powerful with the force and has strong command of it, but his personality is still full of holes and his discipline lacking.

Also it fits Luke's fear. In the cave with Yoda in empire he sees Vader and shoots him and it's himself.
Luke's biggest fear was falling to the dark side. So as a trainer of Jedi his fear is losing his students to the dark side. And in classic Star Wars poetry the actions Luke takes to prevent his conversion to the Dark Side leads to his conversion to the dark side.
That sequence was the classic path to the dark side.
