*Waves his hand.* You will give me your Gamecube and Xbox. :D

 

Nah, I'm just kidding. :p I could get them if I really wanted to but I'm considering getting a Jan Duursema artwork of Aayla plus I am trying to save up some money. :p

I just got my hands on Dark Horse comics Star Wars #43 'Rite of Passage 2', I'll post an full review sometime soon, it's a bit of a late hour for that now. :p

Just plenty of our beloved Aayla Secura in it! :D And I'll give you these spoilers ... Aayla wears her Episode II outfit and has her blue lightsaber! :D

 

*Is very exited now. Goes around yelling 'Wheee! Aayla!!!' Yeah ok I might be a little crazy cuz it's late, too much sugar ... :p*

My thoughts on Dark Horse comics Star Wars #43 'Rite of Passage 2' after reading it for most of the day. :D

 

First off, there's plenty of Aayla in this issue again! :) Aayla wears her 'Darkness'/Ep II outfit again and it goes her well, very dynamic and better than her previous outfit (The one she's seen in 'Twilight' and 'The Stark Hyperspace War' .)

We even see her wearing a standard jedi cloak over it at one point. (She makes it look good too ... :D)

 

In this issue again it's confirmed how Jan Duursema changed Aayla's look slightly, she's now a spitting image of Amy Allen's Ep II version. (The facial expressions are astoundingly similar.)

 

'Rite of Passage 2' starts off on Ord Mantell with Quinlan Vos, he's attacked by dozens of bounty hunters. But even when he's cornered and outnumbered, he flashes an unnerving smile and charges the bounty hunters.

Aayla shows up in the nick of time to lend him a hand and the pair meets up for the first time since the past year.

(Yes, it's been a full year now since 'Darkness' that Aayla's been traning with Tholme and Quinlan Vos has been letting the Force drift him through the galaxy.)

 

She informs Quinlan that Tholme (as well as the prime heir of Ryloth's Securca clan leader) has been kidnapped by Morgukai and that Villie (Vilmar Ghrakh the Devaronian smuggler) provided transport for them. Unfortunately Aayla lost their trail.

 

Quinlan helps Aayla track down Villie. Aayla demonstrates her strong Force abilities with a Jedi mind trick on the way.

They find Villie gambling, here it shows Aayla's become a mature padawan, she's calm, focused. Though she holds Villie responsible for Master Tholme's fate she doesn't lose her cool.

I found she even subtly uses her beauty and smile almost as a weapon, to not let others see her true strength and make the more lenient.

 

Villie being a worst case Han Solo doesn't sway without a reward, Quinlan uses the Force to help him win a dice toss. (Mhh ... where have we seen that before?) As Villie's hilariuos droid says 'This is highly unethical I'm very dissapointed in you Quinlan' the next drawing showing a silent Aayla's face is just breathtaking. You can see she's thinking what the droid said, she seems disapointed in Quinlan and his use of the Force for somewhat 'darker' purposes.

 

Villie sends them to the Nikto homeworld where we have seen Tholme being tortured by the Twi'lek Fenn who instigated it all, manipulated by ... Dooku ... As Dooku and Fenn both leave, the Jedi head towards the fortress where Tholme is being held. (Huge Ep II plot buildup I see!)

 

Those pages are just great, full of many levels of detail.

Aayla is uneasy about Quinlan. She hasn't seen him in a year since they reconciled after having both lost their memories.

 

Aayla however has recovered all her memories, they were stored in her lekku. She found herself again and grew and matured. She's as good as full Jedi Knight.

Quinlan has no memories that have returned, though he has made peace with that, Aayla tells him 'I knew who you were, I'm not sure who you are.' Quinlan knows something else is troubling Aayla too, but they never get to that as they arrive and get attacked by Morgukai and their ship crashes.

 

This is great stuff and intrigues me for the rest of the 'Rite of Passge' plot.

Why? Aayla clearly has evolved, knows who she is and used to know Quinlan, their bond was strong and he meant a lot to her.

Now she sees Quinlan, a shadow of who he was. Though he claims to be at peace, he does unorthodox things that most Jedi wouldn't. And throughout the comic he has this smile, more smirk ... makes him look almost psychotic, sadistic.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up wanting to turn to the Dark Side again. Because he's a lot 'durtier' than he used to be. No more goody-two-shoes Jedi ...

To what else is troubling Aayla, I can only speculate but I think it's going to be plot related and have an impact of Aayla's and Quinlan's relation towards each other, perhaps also with the Dark Side. (Maybe also why Aayla's lightsaber is now blue? - Besides an Ep II reference it could be a plot-related symbol.)

3.3 Megapixels is a good quality level. :)

 

I don't need to buy love either. :p

 

But I think you're bluffing. :D I call your bluff, I want ironclad proof that you are indeed married to the Amy Allen that plays Aayla Secura in Episode II. :cool:

(Have you even met her honestly? :p)

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

 

:confused: I don't know what that means either.

Pudding is good though. It should be "The goodness is in the pudding" or "The pudding is good."

 

You're sounding a bit jealous there AgentSmith.:D

You're bluffing and I call your bluff. :p

 

 

Seriuosly:

No, I'm not jealous. :) I'm in a relationship with a lady I love, truly and deeply. I want to build a future with her. :) I don't seek to be with someone else, I couldn't be happier with my lady.

 

As for Amy Allen, I am a fan of her work on Episode II, how she portrayed Aayla Secura (my favorite Star Wars character) and added a whole dimension to this character that only made it into an even greater character that inspires me even more. :)

I would love to get a signed photograph of Amy Allen as Aayla, or have my comics signed by her. I'd love to be able to meet her and express how I like her work and thank her for her great performance as Aayla. (Not unlike as I would like to meet Jan Duursema who pencils Aayla.) Maybe even chat and all, people who met her say she's 'supernice'.

Do I want a relationship with Amy Allen? No. Why? Because I don't know her. True she is pretty and physically appealing but that's not what makes me want to be with somebody. Hearty and soul are far more important, it's a whole that has to be 'right', that has to fit. :) How could I want to be with someone I don't even know? (After all she could be a really nasty person. or even more, she could be a great person but just not for me.)

 

If that made any sense? :p I just wanted to say that seriously so no one would get an unfortunate wrong impression regarding my being a fan of Aayla Secura and Amy Allen -as Aayla-. :)

I agree with you. I didn't even know what she looked like until someone here put the link to the article on starwars.com on this thread. I just thought the character was cool. Though I'd be interested in hearing her experiences making Ep2, I have no interest to really meet her. I'd rather meet some behind the scenes people who actually helped in designing the film or Lucas himself to hear about the aspects that us common folk will never learn about.

 

Oh yeah, she is majorly attractive and would turn my head(and more) if I saw her walking down the street.

 

What does all this mean? It means we're seperated.:D;)

Yeah. :)

 

I'd like to meet several Star Wars involved people, mostly Amy Allen (who played Aayla in Ep II as we know), Jan Duursema (who penciled Aayla in the comics), George Lucas (yeah a real longshot that is but hey :p), Jon Foster (does cover art and for the comics), Harrison Ford (you can't beat Han Solo :p), Jon Ostrander (writes for the comics), Timothy Zahn, Kevin J Anderson, the ILM crew and people who did the concept work and CGI art and input, the Lucasfilm people who made the props such as armor, blasters, lightsabers... :) That'd be really cool if I could meet those people and all, get a chance to talk to them. Some must be fantastic to learn interesting things from. :)

A nice fyi for everyone.

 

At http://www.theforce.net they have forums at their Jedi Council (the jedicouncilforums :p) and in their Episode II Attack of the Clones section they have a pretty impressive Aayla Secura thread as well.

 

There's a few fans of Aayla there too but what's more is that Jan Duursema, the artist who penciled Aayla sometimes posts there too, like 'one of the guys'. (Though she's a woman, but you know what I mean.) A really nice person it seems. :)

 

Not meant as competition or to underrate you great people and all, I just thought since you're Aayla fans though you might want to check that out sometime. :)

Great news!

 

Amy Allen (Who played Aayla Secura in Episode II and works at ILM.) had a website at http://www.blueamy.com! Yay! :D

 

Sadly though a few days after its launch it was taken down again because Amy wasn't happy with the contents. I did read however that they're currently rebuilding it, to her liking and looking for a better provider. Hopefully it will be back up again soon. :)

 

I'll keep you posted if it should be back! I'm sure it will be awesome! :)

She's so picky. The other night we were eating dinner and in the middle of dinner she says,

her: "I don't want this anymore."

me: "Ok then don't eat it then."

her: "You don't tell me what to eat!"

me: "I don't?"

her: "No you don't!"

me: *sigh* "You're right, I'm sorry"

her: "Me, too. I'll eat the food."

*she eats the food*

me: "Hah! I told you you'd eat what I told you"

*I wake up in the hospital*

Oh well, one has to love and appreciate women. Such fascinating and graceful creatures. :)

 

(This not to be confused or taken in the meaning as the fascination and love one has for a partner, lover, wife/husband. Though in conection but not in the same manner, and certainly not the same amount or depth, as my emotions are much stronger, true and deeper I greatly love my fiancee and find her fascinating. :) )

 

Off course quarrels and fights will occur, a ffact of life not bound to the difference between both sexes but the difference and being unique of each individual. :)

People? A serious question if I may?

 

Since some of you (Like Jaina64, lexx, ET Warrior, Motionman, Jaster, Krylith, ... in no distinctive order of importance -except for my fiancee, one has to please his lady but hey:p- and not a full list, just a few names, you know who you are. :) ) know my posts and what I say, respond, discuss, pretty well and all.

 

Here's the thing. I made a few nice serious posts at theforce.net forums Aayla Secura thread (I'm sorry no betrayal to you guys meant!:p) and this guy starts busting my chops about me being too obsessed, way too much into this character and unhealthy and stuff.

This still while I gave an even better explanation ...

 

So is it just that I'm poorly explaning myself?

Am I really a freak or do I just come over as weird?

Is my passion and interests that unhealthy?

 

Thanks people. :)

Well as I have read ALOT of your posts, I know your not insane(maybe a little;)) I know you like Aayla Secura alot and we all have our favorites. I know that you are not too serious when you do say the more "extreme" things about Aayala I know your joking for the most part. When guys who dont visit the forums alot see your posts the might think your just some freak. cause they dont know you like the regular posters do or they havent read alot of your posts:)

Anyway I dont think your crazy. Just obsesed:D J/k man;)

Thanks MotionMan. :)

 

At least you seem to get what I mean.

Hey I have great passion for the character that Aayla Secura is and all and it brings me something more that motivates and inspires me. :)

What I admire and like about Amy Allen (who played Aayla) and Jan Duursema (who pencils Aayla) is just what they contributed and how they as being fans made Aayla into a great character. I'd just like to meet them someday at a convention or something, say thanks and get an autograph. (I'm not unhealthily interested in them.)

But when I say things like 'Oh I'd love to take her for a ride.' (to give an example) I'm joking because I do know she's a fictional character. :):p

Sure post it Smith.

 

As for that guy that claimed you were obsessed, forget about him. Some people don't feel good unless they are attacking people. You're a fan(a big one). You have interest in the character(and everything that goes with the character). It's no different than all those people that have Boba Fett posters and action figures. You're just an easy target because the character you love is a woman. It's easier to claim people are obsessed over women characters than men.

 

If anyone is obsessed it's me. I knew nothing about Aayla until I came to this thread(started this thread). All I knew was she has a great blue belly button and wears skimpy outfits.:D
