@vaas: True that he had help but he wanted to help the rebels stop the empire, he doesn't need army to bail out a handful of people, and in every occasion he was going against overlwhelming odds even with help, Luke never went "nah we'll never make it" and peaced out.
Him knowing that they were there doesn't have to be far fetched at all, they could've given an explanation for it if they wanted, I mean compared to Finn and Poe who happened to land exactly near Rey's village out of all places, Rey knowing Jedi mind tricks randomly, Rey being having a better force pull than Kylo, the Alliance letting the First Order freely build their uber death star. Rey randomly stumbling into Luke's lightsaber in a cantina, "lack of explanation" is seemingly Ep7's least important concern.
Instead of what happened, Luke might have a droid feeding him information so that he can keep away from the FO but he won't stand down and let his friends die like that if he found out, maybe he just felt a disturbance in the force, wouldn't be even be in the top 5 of most idiotical things that happened in TFA. Just a random example of things could've been, not that it would have fit perfectly the movie that we actually got. Don't know I guess I just can't get behind Luke being turned into such a coward in the sequel, letting all his friends die and the galaxy go to hell while he is brooding in his cave...
