For the philosopher Plato, the cave represents the confusion between what is real, and what is false. It is a metaphorical journey into the window of one’s inner self, and just as Luke explores the inner sanctum of the cave on Dagobah, he must also journey within himself to face his biggest fears.

What was Luke’s failure at the cave?

He failed by taking his weapons with him and giving into fear and hatred for the man that supposedly killed his father. He saw his own evil side in the cave.

Why doesn’t Darth Vader ever appear in the Death Star movie?

Vader never actually appears there, physically. When it is shown that Vader has Luke’s face, this is to represent Luke’s own fear of becoming as evil as Vader (if this scene occurred a movie later, it would more likely represent his fear of becoming like his father).
