Heck, I with a blonde wig, that hat and my face covered would look like Britney Spears then! (J/k man .. but still, Britney? *shudders* ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Originally posted by Hannibal Only the hot ones with nice bods. Possibly, but still ... I talked to Ms. Allen, she's actually a nice person and seemingly quite bright and intelligent. So all possible comparison with Britney Spears can no longer hold true then. I'm not feeling to well. Need an ambulance? But I guess a bad analogy would be saying that me with my head shaved, covering up my face (or any other caucasian male with bald head) would look exactly like Vin Diesel. -I wish! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Some sad news... Kebco toys reported that the new Star Wars toy cases for the 2003 figures will be featuring a couple of shortpacks. (Meaning figures that will at their release be available only in a limited number, with less available than other figures of the same release period.) In one of the 2 pre-order cases that Kebco toys will offer for Star Wars Collection 2 there will only be one Aayla Secura figure. (But multiple of other figures, though Barriss Offee and Lama Su will also be shortpacked.) The Aayla Secura is highly anticipated and sought after by fans, but now there is a real risk that since the figure will be in high demand and short supply not everyone will be able to purchase one right away. (Which will attract many hoarders, scalpers, and speculators buying the figures and selling them on eBay or through other means at high prices. Hence taking adavantage of the fans.) (Thanks to Bucman55 from theforce.net forums for the heads up on this one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks for signing guys! Well, I don't know but when looking at Twi'lek females they are always colorful, sensual, shapely yet slender and sometimes if not often enticingly dressed. Kel Dor wear breathing gear and ... are generally wrinkly faced? (Just teasing. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmjedi Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 The link that you gave me worked man. 20 people? WTF? I think that you should post this at the Swamp so that you can get some more signatures man. Hopefully it won't get filled with spam but it's worth a shot.

AgentSmith Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I was able to read the story "Tides of Terror" in 'Star Wars Tales' issue #14. It features Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto as Jedi generals on Kamino, where they investigate a mysterious nano-virus that is killing the Clonetroopers. The artwork was nice and enjoyable, Aayla and Kit were well done and a bit flashy. (Though it doesn't come near to Jan Duursema's awesome artwork.) I do have some reservations in how the characters, Jedi and the Kaminoans were portrayed. That was the weakness of the story in my opinion, the art was good, the story as well but the characters weren't rendered very well or true. Kit Fisto was portrayed as a macho man, Aayla as being a panicky and dependent airhead. (Aayla has never been portrayed as panicky. At least not for something as 'little' as what she faces in "Tides of Terror" compared to the events in "Rite of Passage" and the Arena battle on Geonosis.) The Kaminoans too were portrayed as being a bit of a vain, stuck-up and panicky race, they didn't seem like the Kaminoans from Episode II. But that's nitpicking really, it was an enjoyable tale, nice artwork and it makes me all the more anxious to see 'Star Wars Republic' issues #49 & #50!

leXX Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Wow, I leave this place for a few days and all this happens, usually this thread is dead! lol I signed the petition, only 23 sigs so far! I think some more advertising is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I think so too. I'm going to post it at the Swamp and Echo Base (permitting off course if that's ok). And hey, we're in a spiffy new SW forum! This thread may get quiet for a few days but it seems to be the only character related thread that has made the transition alive!

AgentSmith Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Star Wars Insider issue #65 was just released and sent to all subscribers. What's interesting however is that the next Star Wars Insider issue, #66 will have a full page Aayla Secura illustration done by Jan Duursema and an Aayla story written by Mike Stackpole. Sounds awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Thanks man! It's from an original artwork made by Jan Duursema that she sent me a scan of. I used it on the back of my custom Aayla fanshirt, it's a beautiful artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmith Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 "Star Wars Republic #49: Sacrifice" is scheduled to be released on January 22 (next week) and will feature Aayla Secura in it. The final cover image has been posted at Dark Horse: I love the added question on the cover, "Will the Clone Wars change everything?". I think they will, in an epic fashion, even more then what we already know from the OT. This is the short content: "With the Battle of Geonosis, the galaxy is officially plunged into war. As the Jedi Council struggles with their new role as leaders of the Republic's clone army, other Jedi operatives have taken on the job of intelligence gathering. On a vast space station known as "The Wheel," Jedi knight Aayla Secura is searching for a notorious gun-runner who can help her intercept the Separatist's latest secret plans. But spying is a dirty business, and operatives are often more expendable than the information they possess. Is this what being a Jedi has come to?"

AgentSmith Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Thanks man, I do my best. Funny interlude ... or not so funny depends ... On theforce.net Jedi Council forums someone again posted a thread asking "Who do you think is hotter, Padme or Aayla?". The responses are something ... most people vote for Aayla, but most that do vote see both Aayla and Padme as 'hot pieces of meat'. That's rather disrespectful isn't it? Towards Nathalie Portman and Amy Allen as well, who portray the characters. Oh well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
