About the reason for Lukes exile, he probably considered he failled as a jedi master and that the world would be better off without him training ppl just for them to fall to the dark side, its not liek he went in exile out of fear of Kylo Ren.

 

Yes, I agree. But does he leaves just because Kylo falls? Movie strongly suggest Kylo did something terrible to Luke's foundation, which can be seen in Rey's flashback of Kylo standing (with what seems to be another group of people) next to a lot of bodies; which again means Kylo is no pushover when it comes to getting his hands into a fight.

My guess is Kylo Ren murdered Luke's wife and he hid his daughter Rey on Jakku to proctect her...he then went into hiding just like Obi-Wan in A New Hope. The old guy who was murdered at the beginning holding the map was there to look out for Rey. Just my two cents for what it is worth.
