Now that I find much more plausible. (SPOILER)NEW Skywalker falling from grace I can see. Someone whose character we haven't seen develop over the original trilogy. I could see Luke, for example, a lone Jedi, trying to teach the force to either his or Leia's force sensitive kid, and they turn to the dark side. With only the guidance of Yoda and Obi-Wan to go off (both of whom had pupils that turned Sith), I wouldn't expect him to be the perfect teacher to the new Jedi Order. It makes sense that some of those he teaches will turn.
