A very learned essay on the matter.LUKE...USE THE FORCE...
Those words were always uttered by Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan who was the best of the order of Jedi. He discovered how to communicate with the ones who had died. He had talked with and learned from the oldest and best Jedi masters. He even spent some time learning from his own departed master Qui-Gon.
Obi-Wan taught Luke how to do the same thing, and became Luke's mentor and inner voice of reason. But Luke was special, he had the potential to be vastly more powerful than Obi-Wan due to the high midichlorian content in his body. Vader recognized how much more power Luke had than himself and he wanted to turn Luke so that the two of them could get rid of Darth Sidious and rule the galaxy from the Dark side.
Obi-Wan had seen Anakin grow up and knew how powerful he could be, but he also knew Anakin could not keep balance and tended to the Dark side. Which is how Obi-Wan defeated Anakin and cut off his legs. He also knew Luke from childhood and saw how much greater Luke's power was compared to Anakin. And he saw Luke's ability to maintain balance was also much greater than his father.
Obi-Wan couldn't defeat Darth Vader later in life because he wouldn't allow anger to guide his lightsabre. And he knew Luke would learn from his death the importance of remaining on the Light side of the force.
After Obi-Wan's death, Luke's progression and training was intense and deep. He had access to Obi-Wan through meditative contact and access to Yoda for his final training. Yoda makes clear in his own words how much greater Luke's power was to Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, or any other Jedi who had ever lived.
Luke is like the Superman of Jedi. He has the greatest control, the greatest power, and the greatest potential. He is the "Neo" or the chosen one who alone has the power to restore balance in the Force. No one realized or knows for sure what that really means. But there are several possibilities.
Yoda's fighting style was called Form IV. here is a description of it from another website;
An aggressive style, Form IV was fast-paced and effective against single opponents, though weaker in prolonged combat and confined spaces. Also, it was not recommended for use against opponents wielding blasters. Ataru was characterized by Force-assisted acrobatics, such as somersaults and leaping strikes, both for attack and defense. Another characteristic of the form was its fast, powerful strikes from multiple directions. Notable users of this combat form during the Old Republic included Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn.
A nice style but it would be no match for Luke's use of Form V. And ability to use the Force to defend against Yoda's attacks.
The Luke of the early movies is not the Luke who would fight Yoda. But even if he was the early Luke he would still likely win the fight.
I'd argue that Anakin/Darth did restore balance to the force. Eventually. By throwing the Emperor into the energy shaft or whatever that was.
Is there doubt? . . Yoda
Yoda, Yoda, Yoda!!!
Yoda, the contest he would win... hmmm!
