The David Tennant-voiced Huyang in Ahsoka is proving himself to be the most lovable droid since Star Wars' C-3PO.
The Big Picture One of the greatest joys of the series premiere of Ahsoka is seeing that Huyang is alive and well — and still getting into trouble. We first see him helping Ahsoka Tano escape the explosion on the planet Arcana after she obtains the map to Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger . That's his first appearance in live-action, but we know him from other Star Wars stories like the animated series The Clone Wars, the comics, and the novels.
How he came to be in the service of the Jedi Order is unknown, but he was built more than 25,000 years before the events of the Skywalker Saga. Somehow, he also survived the Jedi Purge at the end of the Clone Wars by the time of Revenge of the Sith and found his way into becoming Ahsoka Tano's aide, probably after the events of Star Wars Rebels, as, by then, she was operating as a Fulcrum agent for the Rebel Alliance.
But even though Ahsoka isn't technically a Jedi, her path is still irrevocably tied to them, and Huyang acts as a moral compass and guardian of the Jedi lore to help her. She doesn't have a droid companion of her own, so he fills that role and provides her with assistance. Right now, she acts more like a Wayseeker, a class of Jedi that was common during the time of the High Republic that didn't fully abide by the Order's doctrine and protocols.
Why Do We Love Huyang So Much? In Mike Chen's 2022 novel Brotherhood, a group of Jedi younglings mentions that they believe Huyang had somehow arrived at the Jedi Temple "in a large blue box" thousands of years before he ever taught lightsaber architecture. This is a nod to the fact that Huyang is played by David Tennant, who also plays the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who — and the blue box is the TARDIS, of course.
