"Aayla Secura made a point of seeing us off personally, saying we were the bravest men she ever saw. It was a good thing we were all wearing helmets, because none of us could bare to look her in the eye. When her end came, I hoped it was quick, she'd earned that much." - 501st Journal, Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2008)

The delivery by Tamura Morrison, the pain he conjured for that entry, you could hear it. All these years later that entry has stuck with me more than any other.

I feel like most of the clones were in tears when they killed Aayla similar to Rex holding back trying not to shoot Ahsoka

[FordLancer]

In Battlefront there’s a dialogue between clones about her, glad that she had a quick death so she wouldn’t suffer.

I've heard this story before, but it still breaks my heart and I feel like it's definitely one of the saddest order 66 stories there is.

[marshalllatta]

Aalya is one of my favorite Jedi knights in star wars

[loka-chan]

2:00 If you look closely Aalya never looks at the clones when she dies. She senses the disdurbance in the force but she never thought it chould come from her men. When she looks back she look towards the tree lines around her never at her men.

i still take this as canon. I mean Rex was conflicted and fought against the inhibitor chip when ordered to kill Ahsoka. I think Rex hesitated and managed to warn Ahsoka because, as we see in the umbara arc, he questions orders. Even thought the chip was forcing him, he had enough independence to not instantly commit the order. I'd like to think Commander bly and their troops were the same. The inhibitor chip puts them in a zombie like state, but there is room for emotion - depending on how strong their subconscious is. Rex was pretty much ordered to kill her little sister, and he had a strong emotional resistance. Like Bly.

Hearing you read the 5:01 first journal makes me happy that the original battlefront games story was the battlefront journal

Had I been a clone trooper, I'd want to be under the command of Aayla Secura, Plo Koon, or Ahsoka Tano

The fact Aayla's men felt regret for what they had to do proves she was not only a great leader, a great jedi, but a truly caring person who inspired her men and earned their respect and even their love. She proved to have determination and wisdom, knowing when to put personal feelings aside but not to the point of utter disregard, and she even learned that peace cannot truly be fought for in the manner she was doing and that even the Jedi had lost their way as keepers of the peace

Plo Koon was wise and caring, as well as humble. He proved his caring and even his consideration for the lives under his command, assuring Wolffe that, unlike what others might think, even the clones themselves, they are not expendable and are people in their own right regardless of their origin and nature as clones

Ahsoka, despite her youth, became a worthy leader and a wiser person becuz she was brought into a war she should never have had to be a part of. She learned, at a cost, to take greater care of the men under her command and to use ingenuity and the unorthodox in order to effectively complete their missions with as few casualties as possible. After Ahsoka was framed and then later cleared, she was met with a warm and respected welcome from her men, who'd painted their helmets to resemble Ahsoka out of sincere caring and respect for her as their Commander. It made what happened all the more heartbreaking when Ahsoka and Rex fought for their lives without personally killing any of their men yet being unable to save them from themselves

I wish Rex had spoken to others about the inhibitor chips, had done more, but even then it was far too late and had he pressed the matter he likely would have been silenced one way or another

[jarredwilkinson]

Her and Vos are my two favorites from that Dark Horse Clone Wars comics. I was crushed at her death on film.

[kaidorade]

Thank you for enlightening me. I always thought she was killed in this way out of disgust. Glad to know that some Clones still had access to their hearts

[walnzell]

At the sound of blasters readying, Ayla looks around trying to see the droids who've surrounded her and her troopers.

[YourLifeWasting]

It's still astounds me that with all the clones deaths dying in different ways not any trooper found any of the inhibitor chips. In the head of any other trooper

[grimthehaunter]

Aayla is the general I would serve under alongside either Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker or plo Koon

[Furonanator]

This is how giving backstory to random moments should be done, idk if that was the intent of Lucas but I love when they provide backstory and context in a meaningful way

[Triplebrc]

They killed her all the same, knowing it was wrong, that is why all jedi who treated them like fodder had it right, they are no better than the droids they fought.

[GGBlaster]

I’m vaguely imagining this conversation in every clone battalion during Order 66:
“Sir, nobody could’ve survived that much fire!”
“Sir, nobody could’ve survived that fall!”
“Sir, nobody could’ve survived that crash!”

[chancebrown]

1:20 I remember that comic like yesterday l because that was the first time that the new clone look was introduced..

[UwU-xkcx]

As a side note, her campaign on that planet was extremely notable given that in contrast to the clones, the separatist army being made out of droids meant that the diseases and the carnivorous predators were basically a non factor, to the droid army Felucia was just one more planet, to the clones it was hell

[BeybladeGenius]

"Pumped full of blaster emissions" lol giggity
