"Sometimes it takes courage to stick to one's beliefs, young Padawan."
―Aayla Secura, to Ahsoka Tano — Listen (file info)[10]
Aayla Secura ( pronounced /'eɪlʌ sə'kʊrə/) was a Force-sensitive Rutian Twi'lek female and a Jedi Master who served as a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Prior to the Clone Wars, Secura learned the ways of the Force as the Padawan of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. With the outbreak of civil war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Secura and her fellow Jedi supported the Republic by becoming officers in its newly-formed military. As a general, she commanded the clone troopers of the 327th Star Corps, with Commander Bly serving at Secura's side.
Throughout the conflict, Secura fought alongside her soldiers in multiple battles across the galaxy, from Geonosis to Quell, Coruscant, and Felucia. As the war drew to an end, the clones were instructed by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, to execute Order 66, resulting in a sudden purge of the Jedi Order at the hands of their own troopers. As a result, Secura was among the first casualties of the purge, having been shot in the back repeatedly by Bly and several other clone troopers.
Early years
"It's forbidden for Jedi to form attachments, yet we are supposed to be compassionate." "It is nothing to be ashamed of, Ahsoka. I went through the same process when I was your age with my own master." "Really? You?" "He was like a father to me. I realized that for the greater good, I had to let him go." ―Ahsoka Tano and Aayla Secura[8] Aayla Secura was a Rutian Twi'lek who was born on the planet Ryloth during the Republic Era.[1] Secura had an uncle.[11] Secura came from the disreputable side of her homeworld, until she was rescued by Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos who brought the Force-sensitive youngling to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Vos personally saw to Secura's training in the Jedi Order, taking her as his Padawan.[1] Secura was close with her mentor during their time together;[8] under Vos' guidance, she ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight.[1] She was also an associate of Kit Fisto and Tholme,[12] who had trained Vos.[13] At some point, Secura's uncle was murdered. In rage, Secura nearly fell to the dark side of the Force by launching a hunt for the man who killed her uncle. The guidance of Jedi Master Yoda and her own courage, however,[11] led her back to the light side of the Force.[14] Secura once encountered an Anzati, who was dressed in robes[15] that resembled those of a Jedi or Sith,[16] that took hold of her head and neck,[15] but she survived.[16]
"Don't lose a thousand lives just to save one."
―Aayla Secura[8]
An athletic and agile[5] Rutian Twi'lek female,[9] Aayla Secura had blue skin, hazel eyes,[3] and stood at 1.7 meters[9] (5 foot, 7 inches).[5] Intelligent and occasionally mischievous,[34] Secura was also compassionate and sympathetic[8] despite what Confederate propaganda would have its citizens believe.[12] She displayed her compassion when talking with Tano about her bond with her master.[8] She compared it to her own bond with her own master, Quinlan Vos, who she saw as a father figure.[4] However, knowing she had to let go of him for the greater good, Secura told Tano that she would have to let go of Skywalker for the same reason. In addition, Secura prioritized the safety of the majority over the few, warning Tano to not jeopardize a thousand lives in order to save one individual.[8]
Like any Jedi, Secura grieved over her homeworld, Ryloth, when it fell under Separatist occupation. However, she was raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant from a young age, and as such, lacked a deep connection to her home planet. As a member of the Jedi Order, Secura felt duty-bound to serve not just Ryloth but all worlds within the Galactic Republic.[1]
Hailed as one of the Jedi Order's most skilled fighters during her time, Secura possessed skills in martial arts and was a capable lightsaber duelist[35] who was a master of Form IV. Her style of fighting included combining her exceptional athletic skills and lightsaber skills to outwit her opponents.[34] Secura was also known to use the nexu-stanc...
She wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber during her time as a Jedi Knight[3] and later Jedi Master.[16]The lightsaber had a durasteel hilt.[37] The hilt itself was designed for durability during long missions and so that its inner workings were easily accessible if Secura needed to repair it in the field. The hilt's upper portion sported a ridged grip section and controls for adjusting the blade's length and intensity.[37]
Secura had her own Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, which was blue in color. She flew it during the Battle of Felucia.[38]
Aayla Secura was portrayed by Lucasfilm Ltd. employee Amy Allen in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. She was voiced by Jennifer Hale in Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series with a French-type accent in order to resemble a post-World War II veteran's speeches, as per the request of Dave Filoni.[source?] Another source states that, according to Dave Filoni, George Lucas specifically requested Secura to have a French-inspired accent.[39] Hale reprised the role for a vocal cameo in Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker as one of many voices that give Rey encouragement.[33]
Unlike many Jedi Knights from the prequel trilogy, Secura wasn't originally created for the films. She was created by artist Jan Duursema and writer John Ostrander for the Star Wars Legends comic book series Star Wars: Republic.[40]
In early concept art for the character by artist Dermot Power, she was a fish-like creature rather than a Twi'lek, but the concept later evolved into the character of Kit Fisto.[41] After seeing a piece of comic book cover art of the final character, George Lucas decided to place her in Attack of the Clones.[42]
Secura's cone-shaped hearing organs were made from foam rubber so that they would be malleable in a way similar to earlobes.[39]
While Aayla Secura made non-speaking appearances in the films, the illustrated screenplay of Revenge of the Sith shows that Secura was meant to have at least two lines of dialogue during the Order 66 sequence, where she assured her troops of the stability of the area before asking Commander Bly if he thought there were hostiles nearby, only to be shot at by Bly and his troops moments after.[43]
On May 4, 2015, a costume of Aayla Secura was added to The Sims 4 for playable Sims to wear in-game. The costume is purely cosmetic and offers no gameplay changes.[44]
