Every single bit of setup in TFA about Rey got swept under the rug in a very very unsatisfactory way. That's one issue.

Rey Skywalker was never more than trolling the audience with some ambiguous language and wishful thinking. For it to work, would require that Luke and Leia be cruel to abandon her, force-blind to not see the relationship, and cruel again to not acknowledge it. All of which would be extremely out of character.

Luke Skywalker, Mr. "I won't kill my father" just up and letting fear consume him to the point that he nearly killed his nephew, is another.

Luke lets his emotions get the better of him in every single movie he appears in, usually with disastrous consequences. Luke wanted to kill Vader, kicked Vader's ass, and maimed Vader while Vader was down. It's only by an act of God/The Force/Lawrence Kasdan that Luke had second thoughts about committing patricide.

So yes, for Luke to consider killing a person who, in all probability, was going to kill billions including Han Solo is entirely in-character. For him to refuse to do so is also in-character. For it to blow up in his face is typical Star Wars melodrama.
