He could've been using a mind trick or illusion of such magnitude and for so long that it was literally draining Obi-Wan of his vitality. Another theory suggests that Obi-Wan began aging quickly because of a fight between him and Darth Vader in the Disney+ series.
Many are often shocked to find that Obi-Wan was only 57 years old when he died fighting Darth Vader in A New Hope. For many, the issue of Obi-Wan's age is a plot hole, as he was initially seen as this old solitary man, but Star Wars made him younger than he looked in the original trilogy.
We're making it easy for you, so all you need to know is that 'BBY' and 'ABY' mean 'Before the Battle of Yavin', and – you guessed it – 'After the Battle of Yavin', referring to the blowing up of the Death Star at the end of the original Star Wars, aka Episode IV – A New Hope.

Although Order 66 greatly depleted the Jedi Order's ranks, with an estimated less than 100 Jedi surviving it, it was only the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, which stretched on for years and claimed the lives of many of the survivors of the initial onslaught.
On Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader had been operating for ten years, making him 32 years old when he encountered his old Master, who had been hiding since Order 66. The pair fought twice, but it was during their second clash that Vader uttered a harsh truth.

Yoda then peacefully dies at the age of 900, his body disappearing as he becomes "one with the Force". He leaves Luke with the knowledge that "there is another Skywalker."
