- 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.🤣🤣
Programming, a blessing and a curse lol
Like Marlin in Finding Nemo.
To be fair, he's been hanging out with Jedi for 25 millenia. This probably doesn't even make the top ten crazy stunts he's been involved in.
IT is a Droid, a talking toaster. Feelings? Ha, one memory wipe will fix that. Attitude? One reprogramming with CORRECT that nonsense.
@@xxxlonewolf49 Yeah sure, memory wipe the droid with a 25,000 year old operating system and codebase. I see no way in which that could go wrong.
As for emotions, have you seen Star Wars droids? They're rife with emotions! The number of droids who don't exhibit distinct emotional responses to situations can be counted on one hand and they're invariably HK or IG-series psychopaths. Emotions as a feature would be very important for people doing deep space exploration, since organic companionship would be resource-intense and limited.
For the gender assignment thing, my bad. Went to school in France, where gender gets assigned to anything and everything. Bed? Male pronouns (le lit). Car? Female pronouns (la voiture). It's still an automatic thing for me even 20 years on. Robots carry male pronouns by default in French.
Also, anyone or anything voiced by David Tennant is automatically associated with him in my book, so Huyang got a he.
I didn't intend offence by assuming pronouns for a droid, my bad.
A droid who lives 25,000 years with so much knowledge of the Jedi order and Saber smithing......My only explanation is his heart is a living Kyber crystal.
The Force was with him all along.
That would be interesting. Maybe when he started to serve the Jedi Order, he got an upgrade to his power unit with a kyber crystal, because he'd have to store an ungodly amount of data, which would require more power to access quickly. Would be cool.
i really hope droids have a soul, like a essence of sorts created from their circuts and can come with us to the after life
Sentient holocrone
Technicaly every holocron have some amount of sentience, so maybe indeed Huyang has holocron as main databank?
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.
He knew personally many people who became Sith Lords, Revan, Exar Kun, Malak, etc., he knew each of them personally, helped raise them and later saw the atrocities they grew to commit.
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?
That scene made me wanna put my hand on Huyang’s shoulder
An AI with 25,000 years of experiences must have developed some strong emotions. So glad we have David Tennant to deliver the character for us.
@@isaackim7675 A hug, too.
Heartache not just for Sabine and Ahsoka, but it kind of felt like he was talking about all the Jedi. They never listened...any of them, and look at what became of them.
@shakeelali3794 that was my immediate thought too...in particular Anakin. I wonder if he felt like he was responsible for Darth Vader too. He knew what went on in the temple halls, he could've said anything. And didn't.
"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.
can't imagine how many tragedies he has watched...
With all his experience you’d think he would know that telling them not to split would result in them splitting since they never listen. I wonder if splitting also has a marked increase in mission success that Guyana was banking on.
The previous line being "I told them to stay together" suggests he's talking specifically about Ahsoka and Sabine.
Bordering on pedantry, though, and doesn't really matter.
@ReeveProductions he sounded too distraught for it to be a thought he was banking on their success. Plus, yes Ahsoka is alive, but they think Sabrine was forced as a prisoner to accompany the baddies on the eye. Which does not give off success vibes
like that time in The Clone Wars when that youngling decided he was though enough to fight Hondo and ended up putting everybody in risk
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.
Booyang
@@jeremiahkivi4256no
Plus he can throw down
Huyang sounded either severely pissed off or about to cry, and I can’t tell which would be worse.
@@SamaritanPrime I'd say it's more like patience,or being really old
I think they should talk more about his 25,000 years of experience in Ahsoka. He has such a unique... point of view.
The problem is, the writers don’t have such a point of view to pull it off!
From a certain point of view
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.
I mean, there are things in our world that are old but are made deferent, yet better. Remember, Huyang is as old as the old republic. We as a species forgot many technologies just in the span of 3000 years, and that's on Earth alone. Imagine a society that's been on the verge of collapse multiple times over tens of thousands of years. Stuff are bound to be lost to time.
And Huyang is proof that they made things deferent back then.
It's still bit strange that he managed to survive the purge.
If I was to give the sequels credit for anything, it’s that they’ve at least tried to introduce new technology into Star Wars (like hyperspace tracking)
@@DeadHaremGuy Not really. The Purge went after Jedi and Force sensitives specifically. I'm sure for a time he was on his own and the Empire had no reason to look for him, much less even remember he existed. And considering his age, he would have "lived" through all kinds of dark times and wars between Jedi and Sith. Someone that old would know how to not be found, as well as places in the galaxy long forgotten by most.
@@Kelnx Very true he propably just found a cave to hide in and turned off and charged or was one his ship just in statis the entire like 30 years or something
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.
Even if he 'only' had the 500 years of experiences to go off of... it's *_still_* profound!
I was hoping Huyang would follow up with a "Try to prove me wrong" after telling Sabine is the worst.
@@Boomblox5896 that woulda been cool
He beat Anakin on 75 percent original parts
@@ironfist7789 Or, is it _because_ of Anakin that he's at 75%?? 😏
_(Naw I don't think that, but I felt it had to be said... lol)_
If I can be honest, the moment he told them to stay together I knew they were going to split off.
Yep. And the Moment Ahsoka ignites her saber first against Baylon you knew she was going to lose. Classic hero's journey: major setback before eventual success.
A little bit more of Doctor Who crossing over there.
If The Doctor says something like 'don't wander off' and leaves them for a bit, it practically compels many companions to disobey and complicate things.... no matter how much previous experience should warn them what will happen.
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
wonder if it has anything to do with his voice actor, maybe he is a timelord 😏
I like the idea of exploring how Droid's long lived impacts the way they see things, but I was disappointed to hear it used for a "But they LIKE being an underclass" excuse, especially when the alternative is still being scrapped. One day...
It hurt me when I realized that except for Gungi, all those younglings he took to Ilum were killed by Anakin. They survived pirates only to be taken out by someone they trusted. 😢
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
Not only is Huyang an incredible character, but David Tennant just breathes so much life and emotion and personality into the character.
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.
I don't think people really understand just how old Huyang is. In all of Star Wars, both legends and Canon, there are 4 people older than him. These are The Father, The Daughter, The Son, and The Bendu. In other words, the only people older than Huyang are literal gods who have been around since the dawn of creation. Not even Abeloth, the greatest threat Star Wars has ever faced, is as old as him. Huyang can claim to have outlived Gods too since The Father, Son, and Daughter are all deceased.
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.
maybe in something like Tales of the Jedi or other mini-series/anthology.
@@draagax tales of huyang
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.
Wow this is not only a great commentary on the last episode, and also a deep commentary on real life. Thank You!
If you pay attention he does that with so many of his videos. He has lived a life that has brought him to the point where he wishes to share what Wisdom he has learned to others freely. Hopefully there are those that not only listen to it but learn from it.
@@williamjanak2013 i often wonder, assuming he went to college, what Alan studied. philosophy? economics? sociology? he seems to have a good grasp of all of these fields, plus a few more
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 😭🤣
To be fair he did see the order shrink and grow many times over specifically during the time of Darth Revan when the republic and order were nearly destroyed entirely
@@Spacemarine658 but never as "pathetic" as taking direct orders from an Infiltrate and then be extinguished by the hands of their supposed "own" soldiers
You have various Jedi turned Sith with Exar Kun, Revan, the great hyperspace war, the over 1000 years of war of the New Sith Wars culminating in the battle of Ruusan, and the Ruusan reformation.
The Jedi Civil War saw the death of Jedi across the galaxy, from the death of the Miraluka home world to random assassinations. The Jedi were completely eradicated down to a handful of "Lost Jedi" trained by the exile, Jolee Bindo and Bastila Shah
@@tufab3494 plenty did but you are right nothing on the scale of the clone wars
Palpatine and his master for decades corrupted the Jedis' mission more and orchestrated a clandestine takeover. There is of course Jedi incompetence and the fact they haven't prepped for fighting Sith.
Huyangs dismay at his squad getting wiped out because stupid resonated too deeply.
Thank you. I really liked this episode. With the breakdown of Huyang. It shows the brilliance of David Tennant's acting. Even in voice.
Huyang has so much value that it’s easy to overlook, because he has such a wealth of knowledge with wisdom that spans thousands of years while organics can barely grasp the extent of a couple of years for they forget what it’s like to be young and few can only plan a few years ahead and think they know better. But instead of being bitter about young organics he tries to help them. He has probably learned all these things the hard way so that is why he will say things like stick together, hoping that they might just listen for once.
He knew exactly what the Jedi Order _should_ have been when it decayed before the War. But he probably had to keep pretty silent on the matter; they wouldn't want to hear or believe they were wrong, and might have frozen him out entirely if he pressed the matter instead of giving little nudges.
I am so happy that Huyang was brought into Ahsoka. What little screen-time he had in the Clone Wars, he still made his way into my heart. Love this android, and I absolutely love that he has not had a memory wipe in 25,000 years (if any wipes at all). It's an amazing fictional case study of a droid that has not only been around for thousands of years, but has not had a memory wipe, too. The effects it has had on his personality and knowledge are clear to see, from a certain point of view, of course. 😉
His stability is also astounding. There are much newer droids that go for only a few years without even partial memory wipes and develop terminal processing glitches, let alone psychotic character traits. It may have something to do with when he was manufactured, or that he may have been a one-of-a-kind experiment that just got it right. Are there, or were there, any of the same model existing?
@@ckl9390 YES! This is a point I forget to bring up. Thank you for reminding me, I forgot about that. I remember, I forget which Star Wars show it was, I think Clone Wars the animated series when R2 was kidnapped (I believe) and I think someone was giving Anakin a hard time because he never wiped his memory, and it was brought up how if routine memory wipes were not performed that it caused irradicate and unpredictable behavior in droid's.
Thanks for the reminder, apparently my memory has been wiped, haha.
As a grandpa with three grand kids.....my job is to pass down the things taught to me, to help raise them to be better than me. As a parent you get a diamond in the rough that you cut....as a grandparent you polish that diamond. I think Professor Huyang is much like a grandfather to the jedi......he has seen the story replayed over and over and tho you can point out the right path to a youngling.....in the end the youngling has to be the one to choose their path.
polish and spoil hehe
I like to think that due to the jedi programing and life experience he has truly retained a good portion of their ability to process the hardships of life. he has learned to apply the knowledge of the jedi, not just recite or teach it, but to partly live it.
that would truly humanize him
This is one of the most heartfelt episodes for a droid ever.
For a droid being 25,000 years old, you would expect him to have better hands in a fight.
Would love to see Huyang in (Tales of the. Jedi) season 2 depicting how He assisted padawan (Tar Vizsla) getting His kyber crystal for The Dark Saber. 😂
David tenant is one of my favorite actors . And he pulled this off amazingly
7:37 So, if Huyang’s name translates from Chinese as “protect” and “raise”, does that mean that his name could literally mean something along the lines of “guardian”? Not literally in Mandarin, but in a sort of “Filoni-poetic” way. Just a thought…
“It’s like poetry, it rhymes” George Lucas
It's a little more clever than something like Savage Opress
Who else think Huyang needed his own series after this? Of course, it can simply focused on the certain important events in the galactic history. But what is great about this is that it showed us how he always survived what the galaxy threw at him. To be exact, how the heck did he survived the Sacking of Coruscant by the end of the Great Galactic War anyway? I wanted to know about that because that might be also how he also survived the end of the Clones Wars and the even the Galactic Civil War as well.
When the camera panned to show huyang looking at Sabine’s helmet heartbroken fuckin hurt, then when he said “they should have stuck together, they never listen” broke me. Even though he’s a droid he’s one of the most human characters
David Tennant has absolutely knocked this role out of the park into the lot across the street
I've always loved the way Hu yang spoke and acted, but this just gives me so much respect for him. It's so easy to forget that he is in himself the history of the republic and star wars as a whole
Such an awesome concept and opportunity a single individual.
He's never had a memory wipe, has a solid personality overall, much like Artoo, albiet far older.
This guy is a droid who feels old, not by the appearance of rust or any broken pieces, but rather, his very viewpoint and outlook on the galaxy. Such ancient experience and Wisdom is quite something with regards to a very influential mentor.
If he dies... imma be mad. 9:45 lmao, bro, that diss😅
I'm hoping Huyang keeps a backup of his memory, so that all of that won't be lost if he dies.
As a diehard fan of the Jedi. Knowing that Huyang survived the purge, brought me so much joy its unreal.
Alan, I can tell you’re a much deeper person than the internet sees while you make Star Wars videos. Hope life’s treating you good man!
Edit: the philosophical tidbits in a lot of your videos make you one of my favorite creators.
Your content isn’t just about Star Wars, you actually teach people important information
Love your ability to put everything into perspective with your star wars videos
Ngl I wasn’t the biggest Old Republic fan - mostly because I never got to play those games. But honestly after this show, it’s making me want to actually play those games and start getting deeper into the Old republic/High Republic Lore. Crazy how we have the same opinions on our expectations coming into the show - as well as with your recent video on Teva Carson
Your content is incredibly thoughtful and dare I say, inspired. Very much appreciated. Keep it coming.
Alan, really enjoy your content and observations. In a fandom full of loud noise you’re a fan in the best sense. Keep it up and thank you!
Writing this out makes me wonder if there could be a "long lived" droid in the service of the Sith. Thoughts, anyone?
I'm so glad you made this video because I was having similar thoughts as you about his longevity without a mind wipe. My head canon is such that he can (or has) go/gone so long without getting wiped because of the very nature of the people surrounding him. If a droid picks up traits of the people around it, then a droid to the Jedi order would surely be pretty level headed and thoughtful. This is the way.
Thank you for this masterful character study.
That was really good man. Best video yet! Alot of heart!
Indeed, Allen. One of your best and most insightful examinations to date!
I guess Huyang will appear in the Dawn of the Jedi. He's only created 24 years after the first Jedi Order was founded.
maybe if the Dawn of the Jedi is the start of a new trilogy or saga he could appear in a sequel.
Love y’all! Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
Hey Allen, I popped onto your channel when COVID hit. Hadn't been on for a few months because of life, thought I was subscribed and just watched a bunch of your content, love the direction you've taken the channel and subscribed! Keep it up.
So insightful as always brother I really appreciate your content it's a nice change of pace from the events of the really real world but mirror them so beautifully horrifying
Great video! As per usual an insightful and thoughtful look at the galaxy far far away!
Outstanding video, great job!!!!
Yo how did Sabine's helmet fly off her skull when she got thrown against a tree? Did she not have it sealed and locked like ANY other Mandalorian? Hell, Din Djarin has been thrown around alot worse and his helmet stayed in place.
There was no sealing hiss sound. Wonder if sealing it is an optional thing? Or just a feature needing to be built into the helmet?
Sabines armor seems to be highly customized, she might’ve removed the seal/chinstrap to make it more comfortable
@draagax One would think it's a normal thing for Mandalorians to do or have though right?
that's probably symbolic, as a mandalorian she should never take off helmet during fight, so now she tried a jedi way, no helmet only lightsaber
@@kahtyman7293 Ironic, as she tried the jedi way once and failed. Should've used a verpine launcher
Thank the maker for Generation Tech. I must say my favorite channel. There's nothing on RUclips to watch today.
That moment when Huyang said "They never listen." when ahsoka and sabine disappeared, at 11:53. That scene hit me hard in the episode. Huyang is definitely my fav character and disney be damned if they let anything happened to him in this show.
I need to take a moment and let you know I really dig your lighting background in your videos; not so much this one in particular, but many many of your others. You keep picking hues and shades for the ambient light that make my eyes feel happy in some weird way. Strange sounding I know, but thanks, dude!
To have immediate recall of every moment in such a long life would be amazing and terrifying at the same time. I have so much more respect for this character after considering all this. Outstanding video! Thank you.
Hi! I love Huyang, thanks for making this video!
Alan, do you write this stuff yourself? Your videos are so thoughtful and spot on, both inside and outside of Star Wars.
Huyang would also make a good mentor for Jacen Syndulla, who is going to need training. Ahsoka is already training Sabine
once again, a fantastic video!
Good analysis! The show is progressively getting better. I'm excited for each new episode. Not Andor excited, but excited!
Love all your work. From your friends across the pond 🇬🇧
Honestly, before Ahsoka released. The most interesting thing about the droid was he was voiced by David Tennant. (The 10th/14th doctor, for those who don’t know who he is)
Most important question is:
How Huyang manage to survive? With his ennormous memory about Jedi Order we should assume he would be very important target for Palpatine and Vader. How he evaded whole imperial machine? Fact he, as droid, cannot be sensed throu Force of course helped, but still professor was too important for Jedi to let him tunning around. Not even mention knowledge obsessed Palpatine definitly would want to get acces to Huyang memory.
I really respect you know. Found some deep and wise words for starwars
Your dislike of Chopper is palpable. My favourite droid.
Who doesn’t love that little metal war criminal?
Allen from Generation Tech, that's for sure!! Though I appreciated that he did a piece on Chop that wasn't entirely negative not too long ago. @@isaackim7675
Best video I’ve ever seen keep it up I love what you do ❤
This made me both sad and happy at the same time and gave me a new perspective droids in the Starwars universe great video
Aka, you made me choke up a bit in this one. I would never write this to content creator--especially on RUclips but you ARE my favorite channel. Please, keep the good work.
I'm really enjoying these extrapolation videos. I think you have some really useful and interesting things to say.
Huyang is like a protective grandpa
Great insights! Thank you.
Very good assessment!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It is the worst feeling when you give your wisdom to those you care for only to find out they did not listen to you. That is one experience throughout my 43 years of life I can relate to Huyang's grief.
It is to my regret that there is so little crossover fanfiction between Star Wars and Keith Laumer's Bolo stories and novels.
A Bolo would fit right in. They would fit in with no problem at all.
This is so intrespective. Nice video bud.
One of your best yet!
Huyang, the voice acting, the writing makes sure a compelling character i want more
Always high-quality commentary, but this was especially good.
Huyang is easily Top 5 Star Wars characters for me, and I've only known about him a fraction of the time compared to most others.
You might have noticed that Huyang has a roman centurion vibe going to him.
It occurs to me that huyang is probobly so stable specificly beacuse he interacted with jedi for so long and is able to use some of there techniques for self control. At the same time he was probobly also insane at some point due to shear entropy.
In the Mandalorian, it was nice to hear the droid side of the service. The gist: organics created them and are fragile, they might as well serve to the best of their abilities.
Unfortunately I never watched all of the Clone Wars or Rebels, but when I saw what this droid was capable of (ship repairs, analysis, sparring and actual fighting, as well as right and proper ADVICE), I knew he was a real one. Better than C-3PO and any other droid companion to date. I love the amount of genuine wisdom and care he shows for others unlike the other droid companions. I've only known him for 5 episodes and I already love him as my favorite.
You should definitely watch all of Clone Wars at the least
@@CasualInTheTrees Easier said than done. That show is 7 seasons long and I don't really have the time to be watching all of that before I can really get to know Huyang's original appearance. (Actually I saw clips of it on RUclips so I know how he first appeared)
Enjoyed your interpretations... Thank you.
We need a show with grogu and HuYang
He is also a lot better built than most. Still has over half his original parts!
We need a story ark going through his memories and through them the history of both Jedi and Republic. Maybe Huyang could play a role in Luke and later Reys new jedi order.
I've been wondering why Huyang wouldn't be residing at Luke's Jedi Academy as a droid dedicated to helping raise Jedi. Glad to hear a perspective on it, but I feel it's something worth exploring more.
a gift from the Doctor..... especially if he originally came in a blue box
Maybe he built Huyang 😂
I am in love with this pov, great vid as always but idk I love this
They should make a Jedi Data book that has little anecdotes from Huyang
This is a great script, well delivered. Bravo!
Data was always my favorite TNG character and R2D2 was always favorite Star Wars character. I think he saves the day more than any other character.
Huyang was made to be a servent of the Jedi acrchive and for light saber designing. Plus he has never been forced to do things against that original purpose. For that reason he has never had a need to be "wiped" from conflicting instructions.
Your into just reminded me of how amazing Andor was. Cant wait for next season.
great content! and yes , we love huyang... he definitely has elements of C3p0 in the myth structure.
Dude you are so deep, I rather now think about Star wars as a Droid story
In grew up watching both The Clone Wars and DuckTales (2017), so it was fantastic to hear that Scrooge McDuck and Huyang have the same voice actor.
I liked the droid bar scene because he was talking to Bo Katan, who in another life fought against the Cylons, which were also created by organics, but turned against them.
I strongly suspect that Huyang's sassy attitude toward Sabine isn't just to be brutally honest, but also because he likely has the best grasp of human psychology in the galaxy. He knows how bull headed Sabine is and knows that if he tells her she can't do something, she will dig her heels in and focus on the task. Some truly genius writing.
I never expected Huyang to be one of my favourite characters but damn he became an mvp. I think everyone would want an uncle like him.
