Does anyone know how old Yoda is?
When Yoda speaks with Luke in Return of the Jedi, he says, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not.” Even if we assume that Yoda is exaggerating a little, or is rounding to make his point, he should be in the range of the late 800s to early 900s by Episode VI. According to The Echo Station Timeline website, Yoda is born 869 years before Episode IV: A New Hope, and dies 4 years after ANH, meaning that he lived to the ripe, old age of 873. I guess when nine hundred years old you reach, care too much for exact counting, you will not. Sources: http://timeline.echostation.
