This article is non-canon within the canon continuity.

This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

"Your wait is over. I have been here the entire time."
―Juro, revealing he was the Steward Droid[1]

The Steward Droid was a droid disguise utilized by Margrave Juro of the planet Hy Izlan. In reality, the Steward Droid was a mechanical armored suit that Juro controlled from a seat inside its torso. When Juro summoned a number of Jedi without masters to Aerial Temple of Hy Izlan, Juro assumed the disguise after he learned that a number of the Jedi had been killed and Sith operatives sent in their places. As the Jedi and disguised Sith arrived at the temple, Juro greeted them as the Steward Droid. The Sith acolytes revealed themselves after Lah Kara, the daughter of the sabersmith who Juro tasked with creating lightsabers for the Jedi, arrived with the weapons. Juro walked toward the group of Sith wearing the droid suit before opening it up and revealing that he had been there all along. The margrave subsequently dueled the Sith, and with the help of Kara and the Jedi Ethan, defeated his attackers.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

"He is a surprisingly large droid, perhaps even taller than Chewie! And while most droids like C-3PO or BB-8 are known by their metallic tones or bright colors, this one is oddly dark, which adds to his mysterious aura. Will the Jedi uncover his secrets?"
Kanako Shirasaki[2]

The Steward Droid appeared in "The Ninth Jedi," a short film in the Star Wars: Visions series directed and written by Kenji Kamiyana, produced by Production IG, and released on Disney+[1] on September 22, 2021.[3] The "droid" was revealed in an article on StarWars.com on September 15.[2] Both Juro and his droid disguise were voiced by Tetsuo Kanao in the original Japanese and by Andrew Kishino in the English dub.[1]
