Ummm..
Darth Vader murdered hundreds of billions of people with super weapons and probably personally killed thousands if not millions with his own hands/force powers. Luke threw down his weapon rather than kill him. Vader was already FAR worse than Hitler, he blew up planets as an intimidation tactic, but Luke thought he could save him because he had a sliver of good in him.
Now he'll act on fear and try to murder his sleeping nephew because of something he MIGHT do? What he MIGHT do makes him so irredeemable that he's gonna kill him... in his SLEEP?!
I'm not Luke Skywalker. This isn't about what I would do. It's about following what you've established as a character, and in my eyes (and in the eyes of many fans) this movie absolutely botches it. It goes 100% against what has been established.
