Dave Filoni has released a beautiful statement following the passing of Tom Kane.
“Tom loved Star Wars. Fans may best remember him as the voice of the animated Yoda, but truly his voice was the spirit of the Clone Wars. His opening narration introduced an entire generation to the Star Wars galaxy getting viewers ready for another adventure far, far, away. When I was first starting out as a director I was fortunate to have someone as legendary as Tom there to help me learn and guide me towards what the actors needed. Very Yoda like indeed. Tom was selfless, giving so much of his time and energy to the Star Wars fan community. He loved the fans, and showed up for them whenever he could. I am so grateful for all that he did for me and for Lucasfilm. I’m also glad that his characters and voice will live on in many ways. Wherever you go there’s always a chance that Tom is the voice you hear guiding you through Disneyland or a galaxy far, far away. Farewell Tom, may the Force be with you… always.”
Tom Kane has sadly passed away at the age of 64.
He was the iconic narrator of ‘The Clone Wars’ series as well as the voice of Yoda & Admiral Yularen. He also voiced Professor Utonium in ‘The Powerpuff Girls’.
Dear family,
Battlefield 6 drops Friday. I have pre-ordered DoorDash meals and will avoid sunlight until Monday. If you wish to talk, join my squad and we can communicate in-game ONLY.
If our neighbors hear screams it’s because teammates aren’t playing the objective.
