Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
A malevolent entity, the Dark Spirit was a powerful protean manifestation of the dark side of the Force that dwelt within the Dark Side Cave on the planet Dagobah. In the years that followed the birth of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, a number of individuals confronted the Spirit. Those included the Jedi Master Yoda, who faced an apparition of the Galactic Emperor Palpatine.
Twenty-two years later, the young Luke Skywalker also dueled the mysterious entity during his apprenticeship under Yoda, where the spirit assumed the form of Darth Vader, his father. However Skywalker was able to defeat it and the apparition vanished once more.
