NOTE:
For those who are wondering why this video didn't include her exploits from the popular animated show "Star War: The Clone Wars" it is because this is her Pre-TCW character history. The position of this channel has and always will be to focus on the Expanded Universe (now known under "Legends") and present these stories in their original chronological order, unmodified. Despite TCW technically being part of the EU during it's air time, it has historically had a massive difficulty fitting into the established events, settings, lore, and character backstories established by the EU. An official timeline fully integrating TCW with the rest of the EU was never officially established by Lucasfilm before it's decanonization in 2014 and any attempt on my part to do so would be nothing short of head-canon and detract from significance of the original stories she appeared in. There are plenty of other YouTube Lore channels that regurgitate the head canons of wookieepedia contributors and attempt to reconcile the dependencies between TCW and the EU with poorly thought out explanations but this channel doesn't. Thank you for watching.

Aayla Secura is one of my favorite Jedi in the prequel era. I even had a crush on her when I was younger.

Aayla Secura is my favorite character from Star Wars, her story is so great, and I love her interaction with Master Quilan. I would love if there were more comics of her on adventures with Quilan back when she was a Padawan. Of course, comics from the EU.

republic comics had the best artwork...

[marshalllatta]

Aayla secura is one of my favorite jedi kights in star wars universe Thank you so much for finally doing her story

[mayojar]

Her story was way more fleshed out than I thought

[youngsmitty]

It's a damn shame she died in the ROTS movie, would've been nice to see her survive into the early years of the Imperial period to see where her story could go from there.

[GGGordonLiddy]

I wish the Romance between Aayla and Fisto was developed more

[MagnenoAlexWilkins]

Saw your lore council interview that was great. And I literally just finished the Republic comics. Her death in Ep 3 now hits harder now that I've read everything with her.

[liamhamm]

Ayala secura is one of my favorite Jedi and after reading more of the comics about her and the Star crops, them enacting order 66 on her hits just as hard as it does for anakin turning into Vader. Seeing her soldiers and friends turn on her was a rough one

[LukeTansiongco]

She should've been promoted to master based on the things she did in the Clone Wars. Imo one of the biggest robberies in SW history

[shadovao]

I feel so lucky and blessed that my favorite Star Wars character is her own main character in the stories she appears in. The Dark Horse comics are my favorite Star Wars medium, they are so so good.

Sadly she did not die by the first blaster bolt. She dies slowly and painfully. trying to abosrb each hit with the force. sadly after the rapid fire came. she dies calling out to yoda in the force.... yoda feels so many do this.. all at once.. as a warning to their master

Well I see where they got the inspiration for those old Lego Clones..

[tianoc-g]

Aayla Secura was my favorite Jedi in the prequel movie and one I have my first Star Wars crush on. She had quite an interesting yet dark backstory with Quinlan Voss as well as a relationship that was close to developing with Kit Fisto; truly beautiful Jedi that made it all the more heartbreaking during Order66. ( at least when I look into her troops thoughts they knew shooting her down with a quick death, instead of being stranded in a harsh jungle planet or being tortured into an Inquisitor.)

[tidusLV]

An all time favorite character of mine, good video Tadd

[DivineWind]

Another awesome find from the archives, Tadd!

[auditect]

I think Aayla's Lightsaber looks more pink that violet. There are also some panels where it is very clearly red.

[bionic-tale]

Talking about one of the Jedi that appeared in the later two prequel films.

[davidspektorov]

After being suprised to learn that there was a clone wars before 'The Clone Wars', im interested in engaging with it more. Is there a good place to start?

[RevanMartinez]

Another great video! I love how much Quinlan Vos is part of her story.
