The Burden of being 25,000 Years Old

Professor Huyang is one of the oldest droids in Star Wars lore. The amount of knowledge and experience he possesses in his memory banks makes him far more important than when realize. Pay close attention to him and you might be able to get a glimpse of what wisdom actually looks like.

The relief he must have felt when he saw ahsoka alive and to hear that Sabine is still alive must have been overwhelming. But then to be told to get into a space whale’s mouth and trust that it will travel to where you want must have really made him question why he works with Jedi.🤣🤣

A droid who lives 25, 000 years with so much knowledge of the Jedi order and Saber only explanation is his heart is a living Kyber crystal.

If we include the legends stories, that means that Huyang has witnessed 2 Jedi purges, 4 Great Jedi Schisms, 2 sackings of the Coruscant Jedi Temple, the destruction of the Ossus, probably thousands of students falling to the dark side, the order geociding the Sith species, and dozens more horrific things. He has watched the Jedi order at the points where it held the entire together galaxy and the points where it numbered at less than 10 individuals.

I never really cared for Huyang that much in Clone Wars, but this show has made him one of my favourite droids in all of Star Wars. He's just so... human, and that shot of him looking off into the sea holding Sabines helmet almost brought me to tears.

"They never listen"

I don't think Huyang was just talking about Ahsoka and Sabine, I think he was talking about every Jedi he ever went on a mission with that went horribly wrong.

[AdmiralStoicRum]

Im glad he stuck around, he has a lot of important knowledge.
His age has shown just how stagnant technology has become in Star wars. There's improvements on existing tech, but not much innovation in new tech.

[Brinelious]

I think they should talk more about his 25, 000 years of experience in Ahsoka. He has such a unique... point of view.

[AceHufflepuff]

The way David Tennant says the line "They never listen..." I...I mean.
I know droids aren't human but what else do you call that except heartache?

[kemsatofficial]

If I can be honest, the moment he told them to stay together I knew they were going to split off.

After reading Huyangs Wiki page on wookiepedia, I can indeed confirm that he is goated with the sauce. Huyang was not a character I was really familiar with, having not read many of the books and not really watching the shows. But Taking his age into accound that does put a lot of what he says into context into Ahsoka. The part where he says the hes still
"75% original parts" imagine training jedi in combat for close 25 thousand years (probably taking part in a bit of combat himself due to some time periods of political turbulence.) and still being mostly OEM. Thats insane.
Also when he pretty much says that Sabine is the crappiest Jedi hes ever seen... just lmao hes taking into account 25k years of jedi...
Hes officially one of my favorite characters of starwars.

That scene in the Droid bar where he says serving humans was the least they could do was incredible. I didn't think the writers still had it in them to make the droids so much deeper, and honestly, it was grating on me. I was dying to hear what their thoughts were. Their personal OWN thoughts on the matter and the universe they inhabit doesn't get nearly as much attention as it ought to

[travcollier]

Filoni seems to love mystical weirdness and mythology the way Lucss loves politics and old WWII movies. ;)

BTW: When Huyang is being sassy/insulting to Sabine, he is being very emotionally intelligent. Sabine is the type of person who, when told she can't do something, will be motivated to do it just to prove the doubters wrong. She's onery like that

[OverworkedITGuy]

Not only is Huyang an incredible character, but David Tennant just breathes so much life and emotion and personality into the character. <3

[jasonmcintosh]

Hearing David Tennant's voice as Huyang is saying that he told them to stay together reminded me so much of his days as the 10th Doctor bemoaning his companions wandering off when he told them to stay with the TARDIS. I just love the emotion he brings to this ancient droid.

[sundragon]

An important function of droids in Star Wars stories is being the chorus, a trope uses often by Shakespeare. Droids also function as a symbol of discrimination, often treated as second class, often ignored, commonly thought of as expendable. Inequality/inequity is the another pillar of Star Wars. (Professor Huyang and a few others are more the exception rather than the norm.) Also, droids can mark time as well as be as constant as mentioned in this segment.

[fazbrogaming]

When we first meet Huyang he mentioned past events like the battles of Rashfond to the Peace keeping of Polion. I would love to see those events take place in a novel or comic.

Wow this is not only a great commentary on the last episode, and also a deep commentary on real life. Thank You!

[tufab]

Imagine the trauma of having witnessed 25k years of prosperous Jedi history just to see 4 years of sheer incompetence and arrogance-induced blindness cause the ruin of such organization, both physically and ideologically. Worst of all: having witnessed those 25k years of Jedi victories over the Sith just to see the Order being destroyed for taking DIRECT orders from an infiltrated Sith Lord. Even a droid can understand such emotional punch, it's too much for anyone.

post note: that Koala pic got me rolling 😭🤣

[dscat]

Thank you. I really liked this episode. With the breakdown of Huyang. It shows the brilliance of David Tennant's acting. Even in voice.

[Obengh]

Huyangs dismay at his squad getting wiped out because stupid resonated too deeply.
