Today we say goodbye to Tom Kane — a legendary voice actor whose work shaped the childhoods and imaginations of millions around the world.

Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in Clone Wars and the video games and the voice of Professor Utonium and HIM, has passed away today. May he rest in piece.

Legendary Star Wars Voice Actor Tom Kane Dead at 64

Tom Kane, known best for voicing Yoda in the Star Wars franchise, has died at age 64.

I just got done crying ugly tears after I learned about this news. This sucks so hard.

I feel really blessed to have been able to meet Tom one time when he was alive, and he was literally a class act. He was just such a kind person who took so much time to talk to me and my friends, and we kinda had him to ourselves for a while, which was an even greater blessing to get that kind of unique opportunity to chat. The people who knew him for much longer were undoubtedly even more blessed, and I am so incredibly devastated that his family, his friends, and the whole world have just lost such a fantastic guy.

Couple more little personal notes in the cut, but I hope his family is doing okay, and all the love and every blessing to them, for real. ❤️

I don’t post a lot on here about my personal life, but a few years ago, a close family member of mine went through the same exact thing that Tom did: a debilitating stroke that left her speechless and extremely frail. When I heard that Tom had gone through the same thing, I knew that it was really, really, REALLY bad. A stroke hitting you that hard is super difficult to heal from, even with a lot of therapy (your speech/cognitive abilities just get like really scrambled), yet I was kind of hoping and praying for him that he was in a better spot to get good medical care for it. But when I saw that recent clip of Tom surrounded by the girls’ voice actresses recently, he looked basically almost like my family member did, and I could tell that he wasn’t doing well. So hearing this is sadly not a surprise, but it’s still tragic. It’s a terrible, terrible way to suffer and I don’t wish it on anyone.

Tom was apparently 64, and my family member was around the same age when she passed. I think some of my younger followers would consider that to be old, but no. It’s still way too young. I really hope his family is doing okay and that everyone that was helping him out can find some peace. I truly know how difficult it is to help a family member who’s going through something like that, and it can really take a toll on you (especially if you’re going through it essentially alone like in my experience, but luckily I think he had a very large family that was able to help him, which is such a blessing ❤️). Either way, such a loss, and all the love to him and everyone who knew him.

Just also adding the autograph I actually got from him when I met him, signed in my PPG Powerzine. 💖

As someone who has made himself very familiar with this particular reboot, I can easily say NICKtendo's new video on PPG 2016 is an excellent video. He brings up everything worth mentioning about this show, I was going to make a retrospective myself, but I don't have to add anything to it that he and Shadow Streak haven't already said. He also sees some of the good the reboot has done hidden beneath all the infamous scenes the show is known for, and brings up how that one particular aspect everyone seems to latch onto is so overblown.

Yeahhhh I'm not sure how I feel about this. Honestly didn't know if I'd ever be able to enjoy the band without all 6 of the original members and now that this is happening I guess I have to come to terms with it.

I know there's a lot of controversy surrounding the new singer, which unfortunately spiraled into the internet lighting fires left and right. I don't think the band nor most fans for that matter ever wanted that to happen.

Personally I view this decision as the band moving on to continue their legacy; anyone with common sense knows that they could never replace Chester and even the band knows that. Don't know if I agree with keeping the name but that's their decision not mine. Honestly the new song isn't bad and it sure beats anything from One More Light, but it doesn't really compare to any of their first 6 albums.

I'm honestly just so unsure of the whole thing that it's too early for me to have a concrete opinion on this. I'm gonna need a lot of time of sorting through my personal thoughts and feelings before I can arrive to a conclusion on how I feel. I intend to give the new album a chance but it will probably make or break my decision to continue listening after that. This is my favorite band of all-time we're talking about here, I've literally listened to them since I was 4 years old. Not something I can just form an opinion on in a week's time.

So it's been a year and this was the greatest thing they ever could have possibly done and I love Emily as the lead singer, she's incredible. I got to see them live 3 different times this year and all 3 shows were absolutely incredible.

Words cannot describe how grand of a return this was for me, it's more than I could have ever asked for. LP topped my #1 artist on Spotify this year for the first time ever (primarily because I never used Spotify until 2019, after the band was on hiatus). I gave the new album a chance and it was absolutely worth it; From Zero made my entire year and I couldn't be happier with it, it's such a great album.

I'm ecstatic to see what the future holds for them with their future music!

I’ve never seen anybody draw these Powerpuffs specifically, so I decided to do so. Also as a kind of challenge too.

Have a merry Christmas, Shadow. I’ve always wanted to ask you 2 questions. What’s your favourite episode of Robot Chicken? And did you know that it’s the highest rated show on Cartoon Network?

Merry Christmas to you as well, 6 months later lol!

Favorite episode would probably be one of the Star Wars specials, and yes I did know it's the highest rated show on Cartoon Network, even more than Family Guy!

[ashadowstreak]

From what you recall, what was the first show on Cartoon Network you clearly remember being an upcoming show? It can be an original series, a show from another country, or a show that aired previously on another network

Well I think it would've technically been Courage the Cowardly Dog because I'm pretty sure I started watching CN in the summer of '99, but the first one I can actually remember seeing is Samurai Jack in August 2001.

Thoughts on “A Very Special Blossom”?

Good episode that I like more than 90% of cartoon reviewers because apparently that one's an easy episode to dunk on.

Hey Shadow, I don’t have Twitter I mean X. Do you know if there been any updates on Craig’s PPG reboot?

Last I saw it's still "in development" and that it's not guaranteed to be a reboot, just that it's SOMETHING PPG related he's working on that is still up in the air.

[ashadowstreak]

I was trying to do my calc homework and then remembered “I must profess, sir” and now I can’t focus 😭

I want what the PPG writers were on when they wrote that line

The first few seasons are chock full of that sort of word play--true creative writing masters honestly, it's mind-blowing just how often & consistent they were able to come up with clever phrases like that.
