Not much room to "jump as high as mountains" there.

I agree that Obi-Wan/Vader/ and Luke/Vader/Emperor in the Death Star didn't have the room to jump as much as the prequel jedi, and starts to explain the differences. But I have a problem with the explanation of "Luke wasn't as well-trained as a prequel-era jedi". If Luke wasn't trained well, then why did Yoda/Obi-Wan constantly insist that he go off and face Vader and the Emperor. Did they want him to get killed? I mean, Yoda in the end couldn't beat Palpatine. So if Yoda knew that Luke wasn't trained well and therefore wasn't really at the same level as Vader/Emperor, then why send him on a suicide mission?
