I have a feeling something is being missed,
in reference to Luke's failure in the cave.
Although the apparition Luke saw might
have been Luke's dark side, it might also
have been a foreshadowing of a confrontation to
come. Then, you ask, why does Luke see
himself when the mask comes off Vader's
head? Maybe because Vader really looks
(or looked, at the time Vader maybe visited
the same cave) a lot like Luke? A clone or
father perhaps? This was my reaction anyway.
My guess is that Luke also fails to become
a Jedi, but by the same token becomes the instrument
of the Jedi's revenge (remember, "Jedi" can
be a *plural*).
