So I have watched ESB countless times, but until now never noticed that the entrance to "cave", right before and during the confrontation with "Darth Vader", looks "man-made". I don´t mean man-made in the sense of that it is sloppy set construction and set dressing, but that it looks very much "man-made" in-universe. There are smooth walls framing Vader, there are "doorframe"-like structures visible right next to Luke.
Am I seeing things there?

A lot of (maybe already obsolete EU) backstory for the cave
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Side_Cave
but I am kind of surprised that this was seemingly never mentioned before.
It may be old age, but I can less and less easily "suspend my disbelief" when I watch movies, so I guess I just wasn´t bothered with this before and just accepted it as fact. But now I caught myself thinking about why Yoda would have a "dark side cave" so conveniently close to where he lives, did he seek it out before he chose Dagobah for his exile, or what?
IMO it would have been nice to know that it was a place already known for the strong dark side energy, which an ancient sith temple could have been. But hey, maybe I am just seeing things or wanting too much depth
