Why does Yoda always look old?

I hated the puppet in TPM, trying to make him look younger is stupid, as you guys say, whats the difference between 865 and 900. It's like the difference in looks between 85 and 88.

To be fair, it's quite possible there is a bit of difference. Yoda before the OT is living in less stressful surroundings in a more productive environment. Post-ROTS, he's been subjected to extermely traumatic stimuli and forced into less conditionable living in Dagobah's dangerous ecology. Any sort of major alteration in a person's life, especially in old age, can put enough stress on the body to make it degenerate faster.

 

yep couldn't say it better my self

 

solo77...and others...Why does yoda always look so old?...because he is old.

...I was gonna say that!

And also...they don't have Olay...fighting the seven signs of ageing in SW!...or maybe yoda uses to much radox in his bath!

I am amazed this thread is now on page two. How many different ways are there to say "Because he is old". Maybe people just want to show off their abilities with the highlight and bold functions. Or there's a debate as to which word should be highlighted/emphasized: "Because he IS old" or "Because he is OLD". I go with the former, BTW.

In any event, these pretzels are making me thirsty!
