The Leia moment I get came out of nowhere. But considering who her father and brother are it would be much odder if she had no force skills at all even if they are usually dormant. And surely at that final moment that's exactly when you'd expect instinct to kick in and do whatever it takes to survive.
As for Luke... I can imagine the absolute overwhelming horror and fear with in him as he realises he may have created a new Vader. The temptation must have been overwhelming as you can see by Mark Hamill's powerhouse acting. But even with all that he realises he can't go through with it.
I thought it was a great movie with lots of humour, action, and fresh and surprising plot developments. Exactly what I wanted in other words.
I don't think anyone realistically expected it to match Force Awakens at the box office and I doubt anyone's thinking it was a mistake as it will probably end up taking 1.3 billion dollars or so.
For me if you want everyone to be exactly as they were in the original trilogy, go watch that.
Not dissing anyone by the way just my thoughts on the film :)
