Huyang

Huyang is the Jedi Order's lightsaber teacher. The ancient droid spent a thousand generations aboard the training ship Crucible, helping younglings turn the kyber crystals they found during the Gathering into their first blades. His students included Yoda, Mace Windu, Bell Zettifar and Kanan Jarrus. His memory banks hold a record of every lightsaber and the Jedi who built it. His past is so old that younglings joked he had arrived at the Temple in a big blue box. During the Clone Wars he took Ahsoka Tano's group of initiates to Ilum. When Hondo Ohnaka's pirates raided the Crucible, he hid the students' crystals inside his own chest and kept fighting after losing his head and arms. He lived through the Jedi Purge. Years later he helped Ahsoka train Sabine Wren and flew with her as she searched for Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn. That search ended in another galaxy, where he gave Ezra a spare emitter he had made for Kanan and stayed on Peridea with Ahsoka and Sabine.
