I heard it was the other way around. She was originally an EU character, who GL liked and put into the movies. Edit: Here we go http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/aaylasecura/?id=bts.

jedispy Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 This list is wrong in many places. Oh what? It's based on other people's opinions? Well they are all wrong in many places. Best moment of all time: Darth vader = Luke's Daddy. Runner up: Leia's my sister. These are CENTRAL concepts that Lucas based much of his plot on. Luke to Obi Wan "How did my father die?" This is not just a kid who wanted to know some history. He's a soul that is tormented by never knowing his father. Like the old cliche of "I will avenge my father's life by killing his murderer," George Lucas leads us down that dark and often trod path. However, he slips us the fast one. "What?! The one who I believed killed my father; the one who I have vowed to kill, is my father?" That's grade A material right there. "Leia's my sister" is totally huge, way more than "D-Star go boom." Luke was in love with her from the moment he saw her hologram. All of a sudden, he finds out that the intimacy was for his own sister. WHOA!! That sort of thing either only happens in ancient Greek literature (ref Oedipus Rex) or on Jerry Springer. Best EU char by far has to be Mara Jade. She's intoxicating to the reader. A dark side disciple of the Emperor (though not a sith), holding a position that commands power and respect among even the grand admirals in the Empire. Her hopes and dreams dashed when the Emperor dies. Her vow to kill Luke. Her unwitting allegiance to him. Her eventual Jedi tutoring by him. Her marriage to him. This is not just a story about a silly girl. Mara is a deep and passionate character, spanning MANY novels and authors. Her's is a story of redemption and life. Aayla Secura, while being a hot twi'lek, isn't that interesting. Best Fight: It was a good duel, but I think we've not seen anything until Palpatine opens up his can of Sith whoop @$$. I wish they had brought back Ray Park for something else (Jedi this time?) Best Special Edition Tweak: Mm....a good one, but I think the best was Docking bay 94, putting Jabba in. Considering what they had to work with, I think it was the most impressive. I have "From Star Wars to Jedi" and they play that entire scene as it was originally. They had some silly scottish dude who sounds like Fat Bastard talking SW gibberish. To take existing live action footage, and superimpose a completely CG chracter....my..that's brilliant. Best use of force I agree partially...but only because of how cool DM was. It would have been the best ever if instead of the debris hitting the door controls, that Jar jar was standing in front of the door controls, the debris hits him, goes through his fUgLy gungan face (making him die a horribly painful death) and then hitting the door controls. THAT would make it best force use ever. Instead I like Yoda firing absorbed force lightening back at Tyranus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoM Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Best ultra Star Wars mega moment in any movie ever made by GL in this galaxy Darth Vader killing the emperor. It's just the fact that he did it, he actually had a heart after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
