8 Years Ago, One Voice Actor Defined An Era Of Star 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. Yoda's Clone Wars appearances were memorable."
"Lucasfilm Kane played Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, and many others in The Clone Wars, but his most prolific role is actually not a named character; it was his voice that provided the newsreel-esque narration at the beginning of every episode. He also voiced Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and contributed additional voices to The Force Awakens, Solo, Rogue One, and The Rise of Skywalker. He didn't even confine himself to canon, as he also voiced Yoda in Robot Chicken."
"There's no better example than the last arc of Season 6, "Voices/Destiny/Sacrifice." At the time, this was thought to be the final arc in Clone Wars as a whole, and it has the lofty story to match. The episodes follow Yoda as he encounters the Force Ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, who sends him on a mission to Moraband, the Sith home planet. Across the three episodes, he sees visions of what's to come for the Jedi, including the events of Order 66."
"These episodes do what the Star Wars movies never had the space to do: show a nuanced, mystical Yoda, exploring the character beyond just the wise sage he was in the movies. H"
Tom Kane voiced Yoda and many other characters in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and his most prolific contribution was the narration at the start of every episode. He also voiced Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and added additional voices across The Force Awakens, Solo, Rogue One, and The Rise of Skywalker. He portrayed Yoda in Robot Chicken as well. In The Clone Wars, Yoda’s role was smaller than the focus on Ahsoka and Anakin, but he remained important. The Season 6 arc “Voices/Destiny/Sacrifice” follows Yoda meeting Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force Ghost and being sent to Moraband, with visions including Order 66. These episodes expand the Force into a more metaphysical, mystical dimension.
