Thanks a lot Hannibal. I appreciate your kind words. :)

 

It might not be apparent but I do tend to get insecure, which isn't that good. :( (I'm good at dispensing advice but not as good as following my own advice.:p)

And since I always try to better myself I wanted to make sure I wasn't heading in a bad direction of being too much obsessed or into Star Wars and Aayla Secura. :confused:

But thanks anyways! :D

 

Yes that's a great picture isn't it! I think it's from the footage they shot but never put into the final cut of the movie.

(So ILM can simply add a background and lightsaber effect and voila... :) )

It's a great picture though. :) What I like about Amy Allen portraying Aayla Secura is that she really has that perfect stern and serious face to her that Aayla has in the comics often.

There you go, enjoy it! :) Took me a few hours to make so if you ever copy it and use it somewhere, please don't forget about me. :)

 

Aayla Secura – Character biography

 

[ ] : Marks the source.

( ) : Marks unconfirmed conjecture.

 

Aayla Secura is a cerulean blue Rutian Twi’lek of the Secura clan from Ryloth -The Twi’lek homeworld-.

Aayla is athletic, graceful as well as a sensual exotic beauty. She is highly empathic, intelligent and impulsive. Aayla had an impish and sometimes mischievous sense of humor.

While very capable and well trained with a lightsaber, Aayla chooses to use it in a strictly defensive mode instead of offensively, she prefers cunning over violence.

[Official Site http://www.starwars.com character databank]

 

When Aayla was just a young infant she was sold as a slave by her uncle Lon Secura to a Hutt. -Slavery is common amongst Twi’leks, women are considered as inferior.- Lon Secura wanted to place his young niece in a secure home, thinking a Hutt stronghold was the best choice.

As young Aayla was taken on the Hutt repulsorsled the teenage Jedi Padawan named Quinlan Vos was intrigued by her, the little girl seemed to look right into him. The teenage Quilan Vos had traveled to Ryloth with his Jedi Master, Tholme investigating the possible illegal trafficking of dangerous beasts.

 

Moments later Quinlan felt young Aayla was in distress through the Force. He came to the little girls rescue as a loose Wampa had attacked and killed the Hutt and his followers and was about to do so with Aayla as well. Quinlan however lost his lightsaber and in the clutches of the Wampa the teenage Padawan could not master the necessary focus and calm to call it to him with the Force. To his surprise young Aayla showed her inherent Force abilities and helped him get his lightsaber through the Force.

Jedi Master Tholme would have Aayla tested and brought to the Jedi temple for traning.

[Dark Horse Star Wars Rite of Passage 1]

 

(These events must have taken place before Star Wars Episode I the Phantom Menace according to logic calculations, Aayla seems to be about 4 to 5 years old.)

 

(Aayla is taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and trains as a youngling, amongst others one of her teachers is Master Yoda. When she is a teenager she is assigned to then adult Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos as his Padawan learner.)

 

Aayla, a young teenage Padawan, gives fellow Twi’lek Xiaan a ‘heart of fire’, a small stone she received from her Master Quinlan for her thirteenth birthday.

-Xiaan later returns the ‘heart of fire’ stone to Quinlan when Aayla is missing.-

[Dark Horse Star Wars Extra Heart of Fire & possibly Dark Horse Star Wars The Hunt for Aurra Sing]

 

Aayla and her master, Quinlan investigate the trafficking of a new drug called ‘glitteryll’ on Ryloth but as they come close to the truth Aayla is shot. -Not fatally, she survives.- They are both drugged with ‘glitteryll’ and because of this loose all of their memories. -The drug strips them from their memory.-

Aayla has a red lightsaber and wears a -somewhat revealing- catsuit type outfit with standard Jedi robes and cloak over it.

[Dark Horse Star Wars Twiligth 1 & 2]

 

Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos who awakes with not memory on Nar Shaddaa goes through a dangerous journey to find his Padawan, Aayla, and answers to his questions.

Eventually the trail leads him to Pol Secura, Aayla’s -other- uncle who is involved in the ‘glitteryll’ smuggle and has drugged them both to keep them alive. With Pol Secura, Quinlan finds Aayla who was fed continuous doses of the drug because her memory wanted to reassert itself. Pol Secura had kept her hidden at his home.

Aayla however remembers nothing of her past, and doesn’t remember Quinlan. She only knows her uncle. An enraged Quinlan blasts Pol Secura with Force lightning. Frightened to see her uncle hurt Aayla lashes out with the Force and pushes both Pol Secura and Quinlan over a balcony. Her uncle perishes but Quinlan manages to hang on to the ledge. Aayla flees the scene and Quinlan cannot pursue her.

The Jedi Council promises Quinlan they will search after Aayla.

[Dark Horse Star Wars Twiligth 3 & 4]

 

Aayla is blinded by anger and hate towards Quinlan Vos whom she blames for her uncle’s death. This anger prevents her memories from reasserting themselves. She has been missing for months but somehow finds her way to Kiffex, Quinlan’s homeworld.

There she falls under the influence -hypnoses almost- of the vampiric Jedi Volfe Karrko, who was in stasis in a hidden prison temple on Kiffex. Volfe Karrko sends his minions to kill the ‘Guardians’ as Kiffex is a prison planet.

-Aayla is first seen here in her most known outfit, the same as in Episode II.-

[Dark Horse Star Wars Darkness 1]

 

Quinlan Vos is sent by the Jedi Council to Kiffex to investigate, aided by his former Master, Tholme. -Unaware of Aayla’s presence or Volfe Karrko’s involvement.-

Aayla confronts Quinlan and tries to kill him but under the influence of Volfe Karrko she breaks off her attack.

[Dark Horse Star Wars Darkness 2 & 3]

 

Quinlan reaches Volfe Karrko’s hideout and engages Aayla who in all her hate and rage seeks to kill Quinlan.

Quinlan refuses to fight his Padawan and reasons with her to let go of her hate and anger, citing their deep bond as Master and Padawan. As Aayla lets go of her anger her memories suddenly surface and she remembers Quinlan. -Volfe Karrko strikes her down with Force Lightning but he looses his life in the ensuing duel with Quinlan.-

Aayla and Quinlan reconcile. The Jedi Council decrees however that both have ventured too close to the Dark Side and Aayla becomes the Padawan of Master Tholme who will complete her training.

[Dark Horse Star Wars Darkness 4]

 

 

Jedi Master Plo Koon helps Aayla to sort through her returning memories with his telepathic abilities. The Jedi Council tell her the tale of the ‘Stark Hyperspace War’ to aid her regain and focus on her returning memories who were all perfectly stored in her lekku.

-Aayla once again wears her catsuit type outfit with standard robes and cloak over it.-

[Dark Horse Star Wars The Stark Hyperspace War]

 

(Jedi Master Yoda tells Aayla that her venturing close to the Dark Side is the reason she is still a Padawan learner and not yet a Jedi Knight.)

 

(Aayla trains with Master Tholme for a whole year and builds a new, blue lightsaber.)

 

Aayla and Master Tholme travel to Ryloth to help settle disputes of which are the 5 valid ruling clan members. -This situation was upset when 1,5 years before Aayla accidentally killed the ruling clan member Pol Secura, her uncle.-

They discover a plot by ruling clan member Fenn to kidnap the heir of Lon Secura. -Pol’s brother and Aayla’s other uncle.- However the heir is kidnapped along with Master Tholme by Morgukai warriors with cortosis weapons and armor.

-Aayla had gone undercover as a slave and wears a slave outfit much like Leia’s in Star Wars Episode VI Return Of The Jedi.-

-Aayla’s general comic book appearance has subtly changed, she’s now the perfect double of Aayla as played by Amy Allen in Star Wars Episode II Attack of The Clones. E.g. her lekku tattoos have disappeared and changed into the more hexagon shaped lighter spots.-

[Dark Horse Star Wars Rite of Passage 1]

 

Aayla pursues the Morgukai kidnappers who took her Master, Tholme and the Secura prime heir to Ord Mantell. There she looses track of them but encounters Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, her former Master who is being attacked by a pack of bounty hunters. Aayla aids Quinlan and fills him in on the events that have transpired before.

 

Quinlan helps Aayla track the Morgukai and the pair travel to the Nikto homeworld where Master Tholme is being held by the Morgukai. It is the first time in a year since the events on Kiffu -in ‘Darkness’- that Aayla and her former master are reunited.

 

Aayla has clearly become a mature and accomplished Padawan, on the verge of becoming a full Jedi Knight, she's strong, calm, focused, subtly uses her beauty when necessary.

Over the past year Aayla has recovered all her lost memories, as they were perfectly stored in her lekku. She has found herself, from the person she was -with her memories- she grew and matured. Her former master Quinlan Vos however has no memories that have returned, he himself has made peace with that, but Aayla is uneasy about him. To her he is a different person now.

 

When the pair arrives at the Nikto homeworld their ship is shot down by the

Morgukai and crashes in the desert.

-Aayla is again wearing her ‘Darkness’, Episode II outfit, with a Jedi cloak over it at one point and she now has her blue lightsaber.-

[Dark Horse Star Wars Rite of Passage 2]

 

(Aayla and Quinlan survive their starship crash and struggle through the harsh desert. Aayla and Quinlan save the Secura prime heir and Master Tholme after which Aayla is knighted by the Jedi Council. Conjecture from the to be released Star Wars rite of Passage 3 & 4 issues.)

 

(Aayla aids Jedi Master Adi Gallia to test the new Kuat Drive Yards Delta 7 Aethersprite or know as ‘Jedi Starfighter’. Aayla later attends it’s official launch ceremony with Adi Gallia.)

 

Jedi Knight Aayla Secura is stationed at the Jedi Temple just before and during the crisis on Geonosis. She is one of the 200 Jedi of the Jedi task force led by Jedi Master Mace Windu that battle the Seperatist battledroid army on Geonosis. Though separated from the inner Jedi circle Aayla shows her combat prowess and Jedi skills by surviving the battle on her own outside of the circle of Jedi.

As the combat ceases for a moment she is lead by a Geonosian warrior to the circle of Jedi survivors. With them she is rescued by the Republic gunships as Master Yoda arrives.

Aayla then leads her own Clonetrooper squad into the thick of the Geonosian battle, her lightsaber shimmering in the billowing dust, forming a luminiscent beacon for the trained Republic infantrymen to follow. She survives this first engagement of the Clone Wars.

 

-Aayla is played by Amy Allen, wearing the ‘Darkness’ outfit and wields her blue lightsaber. Lucasfilm officially acknowledged her survival of the Geonosis battle.-

[star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones]

 

(Aayla returns to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.)

 

(Some state Aayla’s age during Episode II as 16 years old. I believe it to be more 18 to 20 years old at least considering she has ascended to the status of Jedi Knight. I believe during the events of ‘Darkness’ she must be 16 to 17 years old and these take place at least 2 years before Episode II, if not earlier. Looking at Jedi Master Tholme and Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos’ apparent age 18 to 20 or more years of age for Aayla seem more exact.)

 

(Author of compilation is Nicky 'Agent Smith' aka 'The obsessed Aayla fan' :p, all elements are propriety of their individual authors, all characters belong to Lucasfilm and George Lucas or Dark Horse comics.)

I have heard from a reliable source that Amy Allen (who portrayed Aayla Secura in Episode II) is no longer working at ILM. And she is said to be moving too.

 

(I don't know any details as to why, where, how though.)

 

Amy Allen's site is still not back up. (http://www.blueamy.com)

 

I say good luck Amy in your new professional adventure and with moving! :thumbsup:

 

(Same goes for you good people that should be in similar challenges. :) )

holy goodness......i'm gone for 3 days....and suddenly this thread has one billion more posts, and my Plo Koon Thread has fallen off the face of the earth.......:crybaby:

 

Oh well, i suppose i will live eh?

 

I think you are completely insane agent smith.....i mean, what kind of person picks a minor, hardly ever seen character in a movie and chooses to think that they are some kind of cool person? And before anyone says anything....Plo Koon is not minor, nor is he hardly ever seen......he is the main character in episode 2.....it's not about anakin, it's about Plo Koon!!!!!!HA!

oh i'm just joking, i think you are completely sane smith, and i love you! 3heart

Tell that guy in that other forum (you traitor;)) That if he doesn't back off he'll have an angry Kel Dor ET Warrior after him!!! That'll scare him for sure!

Lol! So true, I am truly insane. :evil2: (The prozac doesn't help anymore. :p)

You're so wrong man, Episode II is all about Aayla Secura!!! Everyone knows that! :p:lol:

 

I love you too! *Sniff sniff* ... what a Kodak moment. :p

 

I'm actually at theforce.net forums because Jan Duursema who pencils Aayla sometimes posts there. :) Which is cool, she now knows I exist and am a fan! :)

There's some people who know Amy Allen, have her E-mail and regular address but they can't give it out to me just like that. Which I understand but still sad you know. Since she no longer works at ILM I have no way of reaching her for fanmail and stuff. :(

Some great official news from Dark Horse, who publish the Star Wars comics featuring Aayla Secura.

Randy Stradley, Star Wars Editor for Dark Horse comics has stated that with the change of the Star Wars Ongoing series into Star Wars: Republic in september, the characters (I quote) "Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Aayla Secura, Quinlan Vos, and other famous Jedi will continue to hold center stage as an emerging galactic conflict swirls around them." :)

 

You can find his whole editor note here at dark horse comics : http://www.darkhorse.com/products/zones/starwars_popup.html?item=6

 

After the nasty rumours that Dark Horse would be through with characters like Aayla and Quinlan and only focus on Obi-Wan and Anakin it is nice to know we'll most likely see some comics or even multiple issue series about Aayla Secura. :D

Yeah there's tons of comics out there, plus Dark Horse reprinting Marvel's old Star Wars comics again.

I just get those involving Aayla Secura (or Episode II events, or Jan Duursema's artwork).

 

'Other famous Jedi' would probably include Plo Koon I think. (Since they didn't mention Yoda or Mace Windu either. But they probably will focus on those 4 for consistency.)

 

I have some friends who say Halo is just the greatest FPS game ever. Is it really that good? :)

 

I still haven't been able to find out Amy Allen's address or E-mail. I hope I will sometime soon, I can be patient but I wouldn't want to not ever be able to send her any fanmail and all. (I'm starting to feel really depressed I missed Celebration II because I wanted to meet her and get her autograph. I hope soon her site will be up and that it will have an address to contact her. Should I consider begging to the people who do have it?) :( <-- Sad Smithy ...

It is that good, yes. It's amazingly fun when you link up two X-boxes, and can play 4 on 4 CTF.....but you cannot see your enemies screens, and you have no idea where they're comin from....it's awesome. And if you want everyone to hate you, just camp yourself in a well hidden area and snipe people.....fun, but annoying as hell! ;)

Well I honestly suck a bit at FPS in tense combat situations, I was never really good at it and JKIIJO kind of made it worse since I'm prone to always using the lightsaber, which can be used as a shield, defensively to deflect fire. :p

 

But being mr. Sneaky Agent I love to find me a good perch out of sight and start sniping people, unsuspecting targets! Bwahahaha. :p;)

Has anyone of you ever attended a Star Wars convention or General Sci-Fi/Comic book, Sci-Fi book/movies convention?

(E.g. Celebration II?)

 

If so what were your experiences, was it worth it, expensive or cheap, did you get any interesting items, meet interesting people, get cool autographs?

 

If not would you ever like to attend one?

Nah! :p Just messing with you. Ok. Here goes. :)

 

Aayla Secura is a Jedi Knight who stars in Episode II Attack of the Clones.

She is a blue Rutian Twi’lek. You can see her in many scenes in Episode II (e.g. The Jedi Temple and Arena Battle).

 

She was first created in the Dark Horse Star Wars comics, written by John Ostrander & penciled by Jan Duursema. It was a cover art made Jon Foster for 'Darkness 2' that inspired George Lucas to include her in AOTC as he saw star potential. She was portrayed in AOTC by then ILM employee, Amy Allen who worked as a production assistant on Ep II. Amy did 4 days of green screen shooting and was then digitally added as Ep II was already well into post-production.

 

Aayla has appeared in these Dark Horse Star Wars comics :

'Twilight'

'Heart of Fire' (In Dark Horse Extra #35-37)

'Darkness'

'The Stark Hyperspace War'

'Rite of Passage'

'Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones' comic version

 

And off course as a live action character played by Amy Allen in Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones.

 

You can find lots of info on Aayla here:

http://www.temoto.co.uk/aayla/

 

(With an entire timeline on the events of her life. Also posted above on this page.)

Why oh why wasn't I able to go ... besides the fact the Atlantic Ocean is in my way ...

But I won't give up my quest to one day attend a convention and meet Amy Allen. (Along with other great Star Wars people.)
