Dark Side Cave

The Dark Side Cave was a cave on Dagobah in which Jedi Master Yoda confronted a Dark Jedi during the Clone Wars, and defeated him. As a result, the cave started to emanate Dark Side energies. Yoda lived near the cave, whose light side energy compensated the dark side energy of the fell Dark Jedi which hid Yoda's presence.

In 3 ABY Luke Skywalker was given a task to enter the cave. He confronted an illusion of Darth Vader there and defeated him using anger and aggression. It was there when he realized what would happen to him if he turns to the Dark Side of the Force. He saw his own face behind the mask of Darth Vader.

The cave was later deprived of its Dark Side power.
