    Some sad news about Tom Kane a legendary voice actor and Star Wars veteran known for voicing Yoda in Star Wars: Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well as Yularen in the latter, Ackbar in The Last Jedi and many more roles. Hope he recovers and doesn't have to retire.

    This is absolutely terrible to hear.... I am wishing Tom Kane all the best on his recovery, and taking a moment to really appreciate all of the work that he has done.

    Even if he does have to retire it’s good that they said he is still there completely. So that good, but will be wishing him the best

    Ugh, I mean he's done so many voices. Professor Utonium was probably his best. Hoping he bounces back as well as he can.

    After what he's given us here's hoping he... at least... has a good quality of life. At best, full recovery.

    This. If he has to retire from voice work, that's sad. But the important thing is that he gets better and that he and his family can get through this without too much suffering. My best wishes to him and his.

    Yep. If he can’t do voice work anymore it’s to bad, but I do hope he recovers enough to have a good life.

    Jeez, 2020 couldn't hold off on one last jab to the heart, that's awful. I hope he recovers exceedingly well.

    I think he did the best non-Frank Oz Yoda, I hope he's able to recover, but strokes are pretty brutal.

    Just plain awful news. I wonder if Tom was doing the narration for The Bad Batch and Admiral Yularen. I hope he fully recovers.

    It’s possible but unlikely. Yularen might have shown up but chances are all that would have been voiced a bit ago. So before the stroke.
