It’s hard to imagine Star Wars without Yoda. One of the few constants across much of the franchise’s sprawling timeline, every fan has heard countless Yoda impressions over the years, and they’ve probably seen his wise face on a lot of merchandise, too. In the movies, he’s voiced by Muppets legend Frank Oz, but there’s another actor who’s played Yoda on screen: Tom Kane, who portrayed Yoda (among others) in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Kane recently passed away at the age of 64, and without him, The Clone Wars would have been completely different. You may not realize it, but he’s been in every single episode.
