Another motive could be related to self - sacrifice in a very extreme way. He might think that his death could prevent a greater evil. For example, if he discovers that he has some sort of connection to a powerful dark side entity that is using him as a conduit to spread evil, he may choose to end his life to cut off that connection and save the galaxy.
One possible motive could be extreme guilt. In the Star Wars universe, Luke has faced many challenges and made some tough decisions. If he were to make a huge mistake, like accidentally leading the dark side to a major victory, the guilt might be overwhelming. He's a character with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, and such a blunder could make him feel unworthy of living.
One possible motive could be his complete fall to the dark side. The dark side twists his perception and makes him believe that Padme has betrayed him in some way, even if it's just a false notion in his corrupted mind.
One possible motive could be to explore the darker side of the Tails character. Maybe the writer wants to show that even a seemingly positive and energetic character like Tails can have internal struggles.
One possible motive could be self - defense. Morgana had turned to the dark side and was constantly causing harm to Camelot and its people. Merlin, as the protector of Camelot, might have seen killing her as the only way to stop her reign of terror. For example, she was plotting against Arthur and trying to bring down the kingdom. Merlin's loyalty to Arthur and Camelot could have driven him to this extreme decision.
One possible motive could be that Sakura is brainwashed. Maybe an enemy uses some kind of mind - control jutsu on her and she becomes a puppet to kill Sasuke. Another could be extreme jealousy. If she felt that Sasuke was slipping away from her in some way, in a very dark and twisted version of the story, it could lead to her killing him.
A possible motive could be that Naruto discovers some dark secret about Minato that makes him feel betrayed. For example, if he finds out that Minato was involved in some unethical experiments that led to the suffering of many people. Or perhaps Naruto is tricked by a powerful villain who manipulates his emotions and convinces him that Minato is the root of all his problems.
One possible motive could be mind control. Maybe an enemy manages to take over Kakashi's mind and forces him to harm Naruto. Another could be a misunderstanding. For example, if Naruto was thought to be possessed by a powerful and dangerous entity that Kakashi believed could only be stopped by killing Naruto.
If Luke were kidnapped, in the context of fanfiction, it might be the work of a new, unknown group. This group could be after the knowledge Luke has about the Force. His kidnapping could be a way to force him to reveal secrets. The Jedi Order would be in chaos, and his students, if he has any at that point, would be left without their master. They might try to find him on their own, leading to their own character development and adventures.
One reason could be that he's in deep meditation as a Jedi. Jedi often fast during their meditative periods to enhance their connection to the Force. So, in the fanfiction, this could be why he's not eating.
One possible motive could be revenge. Bellatrix killed Sirius, who was very dear to Harry. So in the fanfiction, Harry might be driven by the intense desire to avenge Sirius' death.
One possible motive could be extreme jealousy. Maybe in this fanfiction, Hinata is insanely jealous of Sakura's relationship with Naruto or her skills, and that drives her to the unthinkable act of killing.
