Yoda was 900 years old when he died in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
He was born in 896 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and lived nearly a full millennium, joining the Jedi Order at a very young age and becoming a Jedi Master around 100 years old.
Throughout the Star Wars saga, Yoda's age is referenced several times:
- He was about 864 years old during The Phantom Menace.
- He was 877 years old during Revenge of the Sith.
- He was 899 years old when he began training Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back.
Yoda's species ages very slowly compared to humans, with 900 years roughly equating to 70 human years in terms of physical prime.
Even after his death, Yoda appears as a Force ghost in later films, symbolically extending his presence beyond his natural lifespan.
In summary, Yoda's canonical age at death is 900 years old, making him one of the oldest and wisest characters in the Star Wars universe.
