However, a more serious tone emerged among Reddit discussions regarding the nature of Yoda\u2019s illness and his eventual death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Reddit user pdjudd, Yoda himself acknowledged that he had become sick, and his frail body ultimately succumbed to age. Some fans speculate that he may have contracted a simple illness, which, at his advanced age, proved too much for him to combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">George Lucas originally wanted Yoda to be played by a monkey in a mask for \u2018THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\u2019.<br><br>This plan fell through after they couldn\u2019t train the monkey to not pull off the mask &amp; use the cane. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YDWliu5KOD\">pic.twitter.com\/YDWliu5KOD<\/a><\/p>&mdash; DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DiscussingFilm\/status\/1343680975356776451?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, user Martel732 suggested that Yoda had likely been leveraging the Force to maintain his life long enough to fulfill his destiny of training Luke before passing on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, it seems Yoda\u2019s life was a journey leading to a singular purpose\u2014ensuring that Luke Skywalker had the skills necessary to confront the looming threat of the Empire.
