in a way yes. before luke goes in the cave yoda says to luke that he will not need his weapons. but luke thinks he can not go in unarmed. this is a sign of luke's fear and anger. so after luke defeats "darth vader" in the cave he sees that in the helmet is his face.that is a warning in the force telling luke about what might happen if he joined the dark side of the force.

This is one of those "Maybe I shouldn't smoke so much weed" moments.

@DarthStarscream1138 i know. I looked closely to lukes face and the face in the mask then I knew it was luke (mark hamill) in the mask

[DarthStarscream1138]

@Walkerandstuff Nope. It's Mark Hamil's face.

Can anyone tell me what your thoughts about the meaning of this scene are? i would like to hear it.

If there is a meaning to this scene i would say it represents what Luke is afraid he'll become, that's why he couldn't go into the cave without a weapon, he might actually be scared of that fact subconciously from a long time ago.

This reminds me of a story from Joseph Campbell. “In New Ginea, there’s a wonderful, wonderful, event where this poor kid has to stand up and fight a man with a mask. They say he’s fighting a god! The man lets the kid win, takes the mask off, puts it on the kid. Now the mask is not there defeated and simple said ‘Aww, this is just myth’. It says ‘The mask represents the power that is shaping the society and has shaped you and now you are a representative of that power’, that’s a big story.”

This kind of vision happened to me when I was playing WoW. As a normal video gamer, I thought that I could fight against the temptation of addiction but my emotions raged on; I thought I could beat the game. Lo, I saw my face on the most fattened, pimply MMORPG addict; I have become what I've fought so hard against.

This might be the only scene in all of Star Wars that qualifies as true art.

When I first Watched "Empire" at age 11, I didn't understand this scene, because I was new to Star Wars. Now that I'm Older, I understand it. It's like something out of a Bad Dream. I guess not understanding it is a Little Kid Thing.

One of the Most Trippiest Moments In the Entire Star Wars Saga.
