Tom Kane, the veteran voice actor best known to Star Wars fans as the voice of Yoda and the narrator of The Clone Wars, has died in the United States at the age of 64, his representative has confirmed, with the cause of death given as complications from a 2020 stroke.
News of Kane's death comes more than three years after his family first revealed he had suffered a 'life-changing' stroke. In a Facebook post shared in late 2020, his daughter said the actor had been left unable to 'efficiently communicate verbally, nor read or spell,' even though he remained mentally sharp and in what she described as good spirits.
