Luke only did so because Palpatine was goading him. And even then, he refused to go through with it and managed to help his father destroy the Darth Vader persona, turning his father back into Anakin Skywalker. He never wanted to kill his father, he always believed that Anakin could be saved from Vader, it's why that meeting in the second Death Star took place to begin with.

He also never gave up or surrendered during the entire Original Trilogy.

Luke is defined by his courage, and his compassion.

Trying to murder an innocent in cold blood just because of the possibility of said innocent going evil is unlike him.

Turning his back on his friends, his family, and the rest of the galaxy when war breaks between the First order and the Resistance is unlike him.

Refusing to fight Kylo Ren in person is unlike him.
