History
Edit
As part of his training, Yoda sent Luke Skywalker into the Dark Side Cave to confront the spirit, which took the form of the Sith Lord Darth Vader. After a short duel, Luke defeated the spirit, severing its head and unmasking it. When he looked at the unmasked head, he saw his own face behind the mask, and realized that although this construct had been defeated, he still had much training left to do before confronting the real Vader.[1][2]
Powers and abilitiesEdit
The spirit could move unhindered and nearly undetected through the swamps of Dagobah, only being noticed by strong Force-sensitives. In battle, the entity radiated an aura of fear that could unnerve and even paralyze an opponent and it used a phantom lightsaber that could cut like a genuine saber.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
In the games LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, the duel with the dark spirit is very different for gameplay reasons. For example, Yoda takes part in the duel.
