Remember Yoda told him that what was in that cave was what he took with him. Luke decided to take his weapons which would mean that he expected a confrontation and was also afraid to be without a form of weapon to protect himself. A true Jedi would need only the Force.

Luke took his fear of Vader with him
--> that fear turned to anger when he saw the image of Vader
--> the anger turned to hate when he fought and destroyed the Vader image
--> the destruction of Vader's image showed Luke what fate he would suffer if he continued to be have his fear

a perfect example of how fear leads to the dark side and suffering

Yes.

Dark siders. It may be the site of an ancient temple of some kind.

Accoridng to the EU, it was the site of where a Dark Jedi fought with Yoda (Hand of Thrawn Duology)

Although, if you bring the EU in, Kyp Durron has a similar encounter and doesn't fight, and 'Exar Kun' turns into his (Kyp's) dead brother...

Reading my own post I wonder why Luke feared Vader in the first place.
Can anyone explain this?

Vader killed Ben, tortured Leia, and (as far as Luke knew) killed his father.

Could he redeem Vader without entering the cave?

^ ^ ^ Goraq, if you mean: Would Luke have been able to draw his father back from the dark side without having had this experience in the cave, I would say "Yes". Luke's failure here was instructive toward an understanding of himself. His love for his father and wish to redeem him was a separate matter.

Okay, how did Luke actually fail in the cave. Yes he took weapons in, but he was faced with an armed opponent, a Sith Lord. He did, as Obi-Wan has done, and battled with him, and managed to chop 'Vader's' head off, how is this different to Obi-Wan slicing Maul or Anakin/Vader? How is it a failure?

Daft-Vader



I wish I could give you a concise answer, but it took me over a decade to understand what the hell that scene was about. And to this day, I'm not completely sure.

If you're confused, DRush, may I suggest reading page 1 of this thread? The explanation is pretty straightforward.
