It’s actually Lukes love for his father that stops him from killing him, and Anakins love for Luke that pulls him back from the dark.
How Luke wouldn’t have looked to take a whole new approach right away is weird to me.

I loved that it was done this way because it feeds into the Sequel Trilogy. Luke redeemed Anakin, but I don't think he has the grasp on the whole situation of how attachment is what brought Vader into being. He is focused on being a "Jedi" without stopping to consider not only the Vader attachment, but even his attachment to his friends and ultimately the trip to Bespin was the right action but against the Jedi way.
I feel he gains that insight with Kylo, and his understanding of the damage of attachment (or lack thereof) is part of the reason he feels the Jedi should ultimately die. He flees the galaxy because he understands his strict adherence to a hooky religion was what lead to his downfall. This Luke is still young and very much naïve, while bearded Luke has seen some #### man.
I know a lot of people hate the sequels and would want them just developed out of existence by Filoni and Favreau but I appreciated that they are giving us the optomistic Luke we remember, but also how his attempt to follow the way of the Jedi leads to the rise of Kylo and his realization that the Jedi way may not be perfect.. I just wish Yoda hadn't waited 25 years to tell him they are just books.
