TLJs' Luke was entirely consistent with his OT character given what we know happened to him between the OT and the ST. And how did TLJ mess with how space travel works in Star Wars?

Except it wasn't. Luke is the guy who ultimately forgave Darth Vader. Why would he set out to murder a kid just because he had a bad feeling about him?

And the whole space ship kamikaze. Light speed doesn't work that way in Star Wars (not to mention they could've just stuck a droid in that pilot seat to avoid unnecessary casualties but whatever).

He was tempted to murder him, and then he didn't. That's a very important distinction that you're completely overlooking. It makes every difference.

And the whole space ship kamikaze.

Who gives a shit? Hyperspace is a complete pointless handwave that works however the space opera plot needs it to work. It has no scientific basis and no real internal consistency.

[(Anonymous)]

And before Luke ultimately forgave Darth Vader, he spent a long-ass time planning to and working towards killing him.

In contrast, he spent 0.5 seconds considering killing a kid who was giving off some serious eldritch horror vibes, ultimately didn't, and hated himself for that split second of weakness for more than a decade.

There's no contradiction there. If you think there is, you should really re-watch the OT and absorb some canon to offset the fanon kool aid you've been chugging.

For me, it's not OOC for Luke to consider killing Kylo when he sees the darkness inside of him. It's that, when Kylo then runs rampant, killing the other students, and going on to kill anyone and everyone who gets in his way - the idea that Luke would not clean up that mess, THAT is what's out of character to me.

I can see him exiling himself and cutting himself off from the Force after he'd taken down Kylo Ren. But I can't see him running away before dealing with Kylo. I can't see him just running away, knowing that he is letting Kylo kill innocent people left, right and center.

That's the part that's OOC to me, not the fact that he considered killing Kylo.

I know right? That moment when he looked at his father on the floor and the lightsaber in his hand and chose to throw it down, to refuse to fight even knowing exactly what he was facing, what would likely to happen to him and all the people he loved if he did... that was the moment that Luke decided what kind of man he was going to be. To have that walked back on in TLJ was not a great choice. I can buy Luke screwing up and accidentally pushing his nephew away, or saying the wrong thing with good intentions, but I could not buy that he would go so far or lose control of himself to the point of drawing and igniting his lightsaber over someone lying in their bed, no matter what he saw in their head.
