It's possible that ROS and the upcoming Marvel series will possibly add more context to the inciddent. I think it's hinted that Ben was already sort of on his way to the dark side, but Luke's actions may have been the breaking point.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

So there's been some rumors about Colin Tremorrow version's, including that Rey was the daughter of Leia's maid and that's how she and Kylo vaguely know each other. However, Colin has stated the rumors are not true (and honestly that would kind of be lame. Almost like having Luke and Leia being the daughters of Padme's handmaiden or something).

Looks like Lando + Wedge aren't the only guys coming back.

That's an interesting take. I've always felt like Obi-Wan was the only one holding Anakin back from the Dark Side for as long as he did, and that Palpatine specifically manipulated events to keep Anakin and Obi-Wan apart as much as possible.
I'd go so far as to argue Obi-Wan was the model Jedi. He wasn't as dogmatic as Yoda, Mace and the rest of the Council, but he wasn't undisciplined either. If he'd been given another twenty years with the Council under normal circumstances, he probably would have reformed it from within.
Obi-Wan came across as much more empathetic than the Council, and I think he could have explained some of the things they tried to in terms Anakin might have accepted (if there was ever any hope of his acceptance). Yoda's 'rejoice for friends who pass into the Force' speech, for instance, was a terrible way to approach the problem Anakin came to him with. As far as Anakin was concerned, Yoda confirmed the validity of the vision and told him the Jedi didn't care if his friends and loved ones died.
Had Anakin come to Obi-Wan instead, he might have warned him of the dangers of reading too much into the vision, or explained the Jedi's philosophy on attachment in more grounded and less callous terms.
People tend to give Obi-Wan a lot of crap over his 'from a certain point of view' line but I think it's just another example of his flexibility (in a good way). If he had told Luke who Vader was early on, he probably would have felt the pull of the Dark Side a lot sooner, and been unprepared for it. As it happened, things fell into place at the perfect time. Obi-Wan's biggest mistake in the OT is his conviction that the only way to end the Empire is for Luke to kill Vader--a holdover of sorts from the more dogmatic approach of the Jedi Order (and his own guilt for failing to kill Anakin).

It's not really a take per se but "a certain point of view" looking at it from the Jedi's perspective. I'm also trying to contextualize it with Luke's action leading up and in the ST.
Obi knew about Anakin's affair with Padme well before the Twins. When you look at it from that point of view, it vilifies the Jedi in a sense, for being so dogmatic. It also puts Obi in the camp of aiding Palpatine in his plan to turn Anakin, but not on purpose.
Hence Luke's speech to Rey about the Jedi being blind and it sheds more light onto why he is bitter. Luke learned the truth and while Vader's sacrifice was monumental, Luke discovered the Jedi, which is something he wanted to be for years, were not much better than the Empire in their dogma. Which then leads him into doubt, doubt leads to fear, fear leads to suffering, and he makes the same mistake as the Jedi of old would have with Ben.
Luke realized the Jedi way needed to die but Rey wants them to survive, which is why I think the new Force users (at least the good ones) will be known as Skywalkers. They will be what Qui-gon was moving towards, what Obi wanted before it was too late, what Yoda realized they need to be after it was too late, and what Luke learned after his new Jedi Order was destroyed and everything he fought for was lost.
In my mind, I never could accept Luke as the plucky super Jedi he became in the Bantum stuff. Even without the knowledge we gained in the PT, Obi AND Yoda lied to him ... a lot. And to me, once he started digging into the past, it would make him bitter. Add in all the PT stuff and it really makes sense as to why he would be bitter and a loner. Then you have his Jedi Order being wiped out and his own nephew going down the path he avoided. There is no way he would be the OT whiny, plucky, naive Luke. I think Rey began to change his heart, though, and we'll see that in RoS.
I think you're right in that if Anakin went to Obi, he might have talked some sense into him.
I'm sure when RoS is out, we'll know even more.

Thank you we think alike. As for Rise my theory is that Rey IS a Skywalker and Kylo's twin she is also ""The Other" that Yoda mentioned not Leia but a future Skywalker. It stands to reason that she was spirited away much like Luke and Leia to protect them and Luke thought by training Kylo that they would stand a chance if ever found out.

I will always be mad about how they screwed Finn.
Kylo is 10 years older than Rey. I don't think twins work like that.
Not really? The Jedi were conscripted to fight by the senate/Sidious. They did not willingly join and fight in the Clone Wars just to destroy the dark side.
So in some of the latest trailers you can see the U-wings from Rogue One also in the big battle scene. Some also seem to be spotting PT-era ships too. Lot of fans seem to be comparing it to ENDGAME, but for ships.
