David Tennant’s return as Huyang in Ahsoka was a welcome surprise for both The Clone Wars fans and relative newcomers to Star Wars. Tennant’s voice acting and the emotive droid prop combine to create an excellent performance. Huyang’s centuries of Jedi wisdom, along with his amusingly blunt and logical approach to conversation, make him one of Ahsoka’s most entertaining characters. However, Ahsoka has so far only scratched the surface of this character’s potential for the future of Star Wars.Huyang first arrived at a Jedi temple thousands of years ago, appearing in a ‘big blue box’ according to the novel Brotherhood by Mike Chen. While this is a meta nod to Tennant’s role as the tenth (and now fourteenth) Doctor in Doctor Who, it also reflects Huyang’s unique place as one of the oldest beings in the galaxy. In Ahsoka, the droid mentions teaching 500 years’ worth of younglings, and this only represents a fraction of his lifespan. As such a long-lived character who is now recognizable to fans, Huyang’s stories could offer a jumping-off point into unexplored eras of Star Wars canon — and these stories could be told through a new series centered on the droid.In his first appearance in The Clone Wars Season 5, Episode 7, Huyang arrives to teach a group of younglings how to construct their lightsabers. The Rodian Ganodi doubts Huyang’s expertise, wondering how organics can learn from a droid. Huyang then points out that he has taught lightsaber construction “for a thousand generations” and later mentions that he even taught Master Yoda how to build his signature shorter design. He also reveals himself as a capable fighter when Hondo Ohnaka’s pirates board his ship, defying Ganodi’s doubts and proving to be one of the most impressive droids in the galaxy despite his advanced age.RELATED: Ahsoka Calls Back to Luke Skywalker’s Darkest Expanded Universe StoriesRELATED: Ahsoka: Huyang is More Important to the Jedi than Star Wars Fans Think
