Luke Skywalker would beat Jedi Master Yoda in a fight

My opponent misunderstands; by pointing out the gap in time between Yoda's prime and Luke's, I am not saying the fight could not take place. This is a hypothetical duel, after all. All I was trying to say was, the Yoda you see in the movies was old and dying, and - compared to when he was in his prime - slow and weak. He still beat the tar out of Palpatine. "I also want to point out the fact that Yoda uses Ataru not Soresu." A typo. The validity of the argument is unaffected; and I did say it was form IV, which was correct. The point was Yoda's greater mastery of the lightsaber, since he had mastered ALL of the forms (including soresu, incidentally) and was capable of using any of them. His preferred form has advantages which cancel out Luke's greater reach and aggression. My opponent has failed to answer almost all of the arguments from last round, including: - My comparison of Luke and Yoda using Palpatine as a benchmark, - My defence of the experience point (Yoda has been far more duels than Luke, and against greater opponents; this gives him an edge in our duel), - My defence of the knowledge point (since Luke never mastered ALL of the lightsaber forms, Yoda will be able to pull tricks out of his sleeve that Luke won't expect.) - The fact that Yoda knows and can use many more Force techniques than Luke. "And I don't remember any reference of Yoda knowing Shatterpoint or any other type of technique that Luke has learned, so I need proof that Yoda used that for that to stick." Yoda is called by the wiki "one of the most skilled users of the Force in the history of the galaxy." He lived for 900 years during the golden age of the Jedi, and had time to learn every Force technique. He was Windu's first teacher, and was present for his training and career; he is not a strange to Shatterpoint, as he was the mentor of the most famous Shatterpoint-user. There are relatively few stories about Yoda, as Lucas wanted to keep him something of a mystery. There are many stories about Luke, of course; but most of them have to do with him learning Force techniques that were lost in the Purge - techniques that Yoda taught in the Jedi Temple. There is no way for me to exhaustively list all of the Force techniques Yoda knew. No doubt, most of them aren't even recorded. Luke's force lightning will be used against him by Yoda, who can re-direct it back at him. If he calls up a force storm, there's no reason why Yoda cannot do the same, or redirect it back at him. A few examples of Yoda's Force abilities: - he mastered Force Valour, which renders the user almost invisible; - he turned off Ventress's lightsabers while they were still in her hands, and took them away using the Force; - precognition, an ability he was noted for before the Sith clouded the Force. When he is listed as one of the most skilled masters of the Force to have ever lived, I expect that statement to speak for itself. If there is a way to use the power of the Force, it is a safe guess that Yoda can use it. I now return the debate to my opponent, and ask him to address my arguments. Leaving arguments unanswered is tantamount to conceding the debate, as it implies one has no answer to give.
