Death
Can someone please unlock this for a moment so that I can fix a double redirect problem? Can you stay off each other's throats that long?--Erl 01:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Aayla is DEAD. She's as dead as can be. Dozens of shots in the back should have made that obvious. Amy Allen herself debunked the rumor that the character will appear in the TV show. Please, just let this silly fanboy rumor die. JimRaynor55 07:45, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 24.22.15.75 (try registering for a real name), provide evidence to support the rumor that Aayla could still be alive. This is getting really stupid. JimRaynor55 17:12, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Currently it says her death is disputed. Is this intended? --SparqMan 19:27, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * We've had anons changing it to "maybe she's not dead", which is a dispute in my opinion. -- Riffsyphon1024 19:30, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I've just reverted them again. Should I protect the page? -- Riffsyphon1024 22:48, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * The SW.com databank has just been updated. Here's what they had to say about Aayla: "Bly and his troops opened fire, riddling Secura's body with blaster bolts and killing her."  Case closed. JimRaynor55 05:35, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. Let's hope for a new hot chick to carry the television series ;) -- Falmarin 05:37, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

she is not dead! or maybe she will appear as a ghost? no....
 * ummm, she will appear in the tv-show... thats what amy said... it is not confirmed if she will appear as a minor or very important chara, but she WILL appear in the tv-show!
 * Sure she's popular among the fans. She is Miss Star Wars 2005 after all. Nevertheless, she's dead like a realyl dead fish, and she should remain dead. If Lucas and co. let all popular jedi characters survive then the Era of the Rebellion would be overrun with Jedi, and there would be no point in all that Luke-as-the-last-of-the-Jedi talk in the original trilogy. KEJ 13:09, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Well no one likes Luke so that wouldn't matter.Platinumplatypus 23:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand why everyone likes her; she's not really my style, and they need to let go.

Planet
Which planet did she die on? - Sikon 04:06, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Felucia. QuentinGeorge 04:07, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

SHES DEAD! GET OVER IT! SHES AWSOME BUT THERE NO SENSE IN CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK! Aayla IS SPILT MILK! wait.Italic text"Spilt milk?" Fireball93 01:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * THere's nothing wrong in asking where she died though! KEJ 13:09, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Split Milk is what we say in CANADA when something bad happens. Because in CANADA we belive we can get over things that are bad


 * Guys, calm down! Aayla is a fictional character in a fictional series...not a godess, not spilt milk, but a character in a movie. Get a hold of yourselves and stop fussing. - Darth Rabbit

She's spilled blue milk. - Darth Ceratis

For some reason, I have doubts about its validity. - Sikon [ Talk ] 08:54, 26 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is a quote from Rite of Passage. But I think we can find a better one... QuentinGeorge 08:57, 26 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Aayla secura
Aayla is dead but her twin sister Alias is alive.hid in felucia from 19 bby to 10000000 aby.maybe they got Alias confused with her sister Aayla.but unlike her twin sister Aayla she never ever got corrupt to the dark side.
 * Maybe in your Fanon universe, but this encyclopedia is a chronicle of canon facts and events only. As fas as this site is concerned, "Alias" doesn't exist and Aayla is dead. Dead, as in shot multiple times with blasters on camera and stated to be dead in the official site databank. She's a stiff. Bereft of life, she rests in peace. And attempting to dispute canon facts or post your fanon creations here is a quick way to get banned. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  22:57, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * So, should Alias Secura redirect to List of fanon creations, or should it just be speedied? &mdash; Silly Dan  23:24, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I say speedy it, and ban anyone who recreates it. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  23:26, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

cyborg
Aayla is dead but in an episode VI shows Aayla as a Cyborg.Misson on the otherhand is alive but is a cyborg.Mission Vao and Yuthra Ban are the first cyborg Twi'lek and are Alpha.Aayla and a purple twi'lek in Return Of The Jedi are Beta.Aayla became a cyborg 2 Aby Misson and Yuthra became a cyborg 452 Bby.
 * I don't believe any word of this i think youre lying this all up. User:General Secura
 * I have given up trying to reason with this nutbar. I just clean up after him and wait patiently for someone to ban him. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  19:17, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Cyborg?? what are you talking about... That's crazy! User: Ruffles
 * Ya, does anybody know what that dude is talking about? Aayla isn't in A New Hope... and Mission and Aayla are born centuries apart... didn't you notice that the title of the game was Knights of the Old Republic? Aayla lived near the end of the Republic... plus, the sith academy on Korriban was wiped out before The Phantom Menace! So, she's not even close when it comes to them being in A New Hope! Starwarsnerd 03:06, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Everyone back away slowly, maintain eye-contact, then run.*Laughs madly. Boy, aren't there enough Aayla Fanboys already, and what is up with that guy and Twi'leks? User:Ruffles

How to correctly pronounce Aayla's name
Anyone who wants to know how "Aayla" is pronounced, check out these two video interviews from Starwars.UGO.com: "Girls of Star Wars" interviewwhich features Amy Allen. and this interview with Jan Duursema. In both interviews, Aayla's name is said/pronounced.


 * I think you can also hear someone say Aayla's name in the Clone Wars cartoons (I'm not sure who says it), but I think it is pronounced the same way in the cartoon as it is in those interviews. Good interviews, I always wondered what Amy Allen's (and therefore Aayla's) voice sounded like. 151.203.164.156 20:24, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Ki-Adi-Mundi says her name is Clone Wars Chapter 21. QuentinGeorge 05:14, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I always assumed it was pronounced A-lah. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:14, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I read a forum once where someone said that it was pronounced: "EYE-lah". I guess they were wrong, since A-lah seems to be what Jan Duursema, Amy Allen, and Ki-Adi-Mundi use.
 * I can't watch the video, that stupid "UGO" ad always redirects me to their site! I'm not even clicking on anything! Starwarsnerd 03:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But Clone Wars Ki-Adi pronounces it EYE-lah! DarthMRN 23:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Please don't restart old topics. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * When there has not been a concensus on the topic, I see no reason not to. Besides, I have left many comments and questions on talk pages specifically because I hope that some day someone will find it and spark some change. The age of a topic is irrelevant. DarthMRN 00:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, Ki-Adi-Mundi does pronounce her name "A-lah" and not EYE-lah. Listening closely, it almost sounds like he might be saying a quick double-A sound like Ā-ā-lah. - JMAS 01:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Having checked myself, I'm torn between EYE-lah and A-lah. That the A is pronounced EY doesn't help matters.DarthMRN 11:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * DarthMRN, people tend to ignore old topics. Restarting them doesn't help anything. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I certainly hope you are wrong, or else much needed changes will be overlooked. BTW, the proper pronounciations I see in certain articles, are they canon, having actual sources, or are they included by users with linguistic knowledge based on how they are pronounced in the movies? DarthMRN 14:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Amy Allen uses the A-lah pronounciation here: . 151.203.157.175 21:39, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Amy Allen said A-lah when she was on CIV (she interviews a bunch of people on the G4 coverage of the event.) But just like in real life - people with different dialects pronounce names differently. I have a swedish name so I would know. However, I'm not sure if there is a standardized accent for Basic. Gustafar 16:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I remember from the Clone Wars that after that battle with Grevious Ki Adi sees Shaak Ti and Aayla hurt and he gasped "Shaak Ti (Shok Tee), Aayla (Ah-ay-la)" I'm certain of that. Go check it out on You tube. Someone said it was Chapter 21 earlier.Platinumplatypus 23:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Miss Star Wars 2005
I think Aayla deserves to win, she's the hottest babe in the Star Wars universe. General Secura

...and we'd hate to see Bastilla win :-P KEJ 14:46, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)

I definately agree with ya, why would a hottie like Aayla lose to some KOTOR character?? Aayla's biggest fan


 * Maybe because it is normal for us humans to better like a human female than a Twi'lek one? - TopAce 20:38, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * There are just a few differences: the skin color, and the head tentacles. That's it for the differences. Master Secura
 * And she's more flesh and blood than a computer generated spoiled jedi princess without who KOTOR would be a much better game :-P KEJ 20:23, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * If Khaleen was more well-known, she'd have won. But then Khaleen lacks ANY shreds of class, while Aayla is quite classy. --Master Starkeiller 20:30, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Khallen's head's too big - at least on the image in her article :-P KEJ 11:57, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with KEJ. Bastila was a poor Jedi and was too naive and fell to quickly to the dark side. i would vote for Aayla yes...then, of course, i would shoot her right after if i had the chance. Sequites 12:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Amy Allen is a beautiful woman. There's not really anything wrong about being attracted to Aayla. Gustafar 18:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This is Wookieepedia, not a horny fan-boys forum. Let's try to keep these discussions from occurring in the future, eh? 129.107.81.12 06:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Native tongue version
The Wikipedia listed it as Aayl'asecura. Anyone got a definitive ref as to which one is right?
 * Aayla Secura is the name which is used in every source. Since there are a lot of mistaken info on the standard Wikipedia (not only about SW, unfortunately), I think I would only trust the official sources. StarWars.com sure has her name as Aayla Secura, so I think this is the version we should use. - TopAce 12:24, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * He meant her name in Ryl; that's indicated to be "Aaylas'ecura" in The Dark Forces Saga, Part 4: Of the Crudest Matter. However, our Twi'lek article indicates that dividing the name up isn't always done exactly the same way, so we probably shouldn't sweat it too much if Wikipedia has something else. jSarek 14:58, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Why the heck is she listed under her Ryl name? She didn't use her Ryl name. This is fanwank.
 * Our policy is to use the most "correct" name; so, full names over nicknames, and names in the native tongue over translated names. - Lord Hydronium 11:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Except that Ryl takes in certain factors including superstition, the fame of the person, and other things. It could sound like anything. -- SFH 21:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * She never used it after she left Ryloth, or even when she was on it, to our knowledge. Aayla Secura is almost certainly her legal name in the Republic and the Jedi Temple, as it's the one she and everyone else close to her use. The two-word name is definitely the most common, dominant, and last-used name and should be used. As far as I can tell, "Chewbacca" isn't even pronouncable in Shyriiwook - if his "untranslated" name is Rawr*growl*aererareara, should he be put under that? I think it's a little useless to try and use the "native tongue" version when we're transliterating the "native tongue" into English to begin with. Yrfeloran 22:02, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If that is her actual name, then yes. It belongs. If Chewie's real name can be written using our alphabet (and it is revealed at some point) then it will be changed to that as well.--DannyBoy7783 23:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Aayla was raised from a very young age by the Jedi on Republic and as can be seen, has little in common culturally with the Twi'leks of Ryloth. I doubt she ever used the Ryl version of her name. Indeed, her name might actually be "Aayla Secura" legally. QuentinGeorge 00:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll add that just because the Twi'leks call her Aaylas'ecura doesn't necessarily make it her "true" name. It may be her birthname (but really, Aayla's still the name and Secura the clan name), but like with Grievous, it's not what she uses even when she goes back. The Twi'leks also call Wedge Wedg'antilles, after all. I think we should go with what she decided to use, not what other people who are not her called her. Aayla doesn't want to be thought of as a pampered Twi'lek princess or as a dancing girl, she wants to be thought of as a Jedi, and she's made this very clear. Yrfeloran 04:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed completely. I think it's abundantly clear to anyone who knows Aayla's character that she would be vehemently opposed to choosing the names the Twi'leks would call her over the name the Jedi would call her. For that matter, it's not even clear that Twi'leks in the prequel era used the traditional naming conventions, even among themselves. We see multiple scenes in Rite of Passage with Twi'leks talking to each other on Ryloth using the Core names.Dizfactor 01:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The Dark Forces article, however, refers to her by her Ryl name in an official context. It specifically doesn't call Anoon Bondara, Orn Free Taa, and the like by any other name, so it's not like it simply translated all the Twi'lek names.  Her name was specifically chosen to be written in its Ryl form.  As to nobody calling her by that name, that shouldn't be an issue.  Thrawn didn't go by Mitth'raw'nuruodo at all in the last years of his life, but that didn't keep it from still being his real name.  Now if Aayla officially changed her name, that's a different matter.  But there's no indication of that, and the Dark Forces article suggests otherwise, or it would call her Aayla Secura in the same way it says Bib Fortuna (whose name was officialy changed).  - Lord Hydronium 02:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Except she's in the 'heroes' category (and everyone else in there has the one-word name), and the others are in the 'villains' category, and none of them have one-word names. Implies that the choice of what the Twi'leks are calling people is political.Yrfeloran 16:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

'''I started a unified consensus track discussion about this topic here. Please voice your opinion.''' RMF 00:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You're saying that one offhand reference in the Dark Forces saga outweighs countless references in comics, cartoons, and film credits, including some by the character herself? CooperTFN 02:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Technically speaking, wasn't that the decision with Dac? But no, I'm not saying that anything overrides anything else.  Rather, that in this specific case it calls some Twi'leks by Basic-style names and some by Ryl-style names.  I'm saying there's a reason why some were chosen one way and some another.  It could just as easily have said "Aayla Secura" as it did "Anoon Bondara".  Instead it specifically said the Ryl name, which suggests that that name was used in the interests of accuracy.  Maybe I'm wrong; it could just be random.  Again, if she actually did change her name, and didn't just go by the split name Thrawn-style, then it should be at Aayla Secura. - Lord Hydronium 02:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Should this be made into a vote, like was done with Grievous? RMF 04:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I dunno...Lord Hydronium makes a good point. If they could have left her name as 2 words why would they make it one? Pretty compelling argument I think...--DannyBoy7783 15:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And I thought we already decided on having the characters under the final/most well-known name... --Tinwe 16:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The whole thing is a horrible situation because there are exceptions to that rule. I wasn't aware of that vote so I say move it to Aayla Secura and put "also known as Aaylas'ecura" right at the beginning in bold after "Aayla Secura".--DannyBoy7783 16:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a decent compromise. Yrfeloran 16:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, if the consensus is to move it, I don't particularly care one way or the other. I'm simply pitching in arguments for the other side.  Regarding "final/most well-known name", the problem with that is that the two aren't synonymous.  It seemed to me that in the discussion the conclusion was "final name" meant only if they changed it, like with Grievous (and not like with Thrawn, for example).  Using just the most well-known name is another kettle of fish entirely; that would have articles like Republic gunship, Jedi starfighter, and X-wing put under those names.  There are a few ways to look at the Aayla situation: She doesn't go by Aaylas'ecura at all, and has effectively changed her name to Aayla Secura.  In that case, use two names as per the consensus track.  Her name is still Aaylas'ecura, she just goes by Aayla Secura because she's among basic speakers/part of the Republic, what have you.  In that case, I can see arguments for both sides.  Keep the Ryl name because that's still her final name, as much as Mitth'raw'nurudo stayed Thrawn's name.  Or on the other hand, keep the Basic name because we're writing in English and should translate accordingly (although in that case, Mando'ade, sc'rath, etc. have some moving to do). - Lord Hydronium 21:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Quote
I kind of like the quote. KEJ 15:09, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks KEJ, I tried really hard to find a suitable one ^^ --[[Image:BFguy.gif]]--Inmobilus 15:28, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's cool. The only thing that would be better would be something like "KEJ, I think you're much hotter than Kit Fisto" but she's probably never gonna say anything like that :-( ..... No, I think the quote you've found is very cool, because she's a female, but she can still kick butt the Jedi way KEJ 15:35, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * hahaha, lol ^^ --[[Image:BFguy.gif]]--Inmobilus 15:38, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, the quote is very good. And even funnier is that it's Aayla's cousin who says it. Aayla should say: "I don't care if you're my cousin, i don't care that you're the clan Secura heir, but if you CLAIM that i am no good Jedi then you're toast, twerp." Master Secura
 * I may be wrong, but i thought it was a rancor and not a wampa that Aayla helped Quinlan defeat, again i may be wrong, but that is how i remember it. 66.114.0.3 15:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the Aayla quote : "Not all my influence is force-based." lol Rowrow 00:11, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Her rank
In obsession 1, Obi-wan refers to her as Master Secura. Did she at anytime ascend to the rank of master, or is this just a glitch?


 * Yes, is she a master or what? In the Sith Snapshot showing her belly jewel, it also says 'Master Secura'. Master Secura
 * "Master" is used as a honorific term for all Jedi of the rank of knight and above. Note in AOTC, Kenobi is called "Master Kenobi" despite only being a knight. QuentinGeorge 20:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * But Kenobi was actively training a padawn learner at the time. Does this mean Aayla had a padawan? -- SFH 20:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Aayla was leading a force of clones at the time that Order 66 was executed. I was under the impression that those Jedi in such "leader positions" during that time were Masters and that those of lesser rank served beneath them, but still above clones themselves. I believe she had her own unit of clone troopers. Perhaps that was just the impression I got.
 * Anakin was a knight, yet was also a General. QuentinGeorge 08:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In the new Sith Snapshot of her it again says: Jedi Master Aayla Secura. Master Secura
 * I would very much question that, since she never trained a padawan. QuentinGeorge 11:20, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe Aayla did not train a padawan at all, though it was common for a jedi knight to be a general, such as Barriss Offee on Felucia with Aayla, she was a Knight, though also having a Padawan at that time according to some sources. I think it was also possible for Aayla to have been appointed Master for some other reason then training a Padawan.  In ROTS Mace Windu said to Anakin that we have not given you the rank of Master despite being on the Council.  I think this does show that there was a possibility that Anakin be appointed as a Master, other than training a Padawan.  This could have been the case with Aayla too, espicially with regards to her knowledge of the dark side. - --Master Sage 22:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you mean "knowledge of the dark side"? She has no more knowledge than Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he wasn't a Master until the age of 36. Anakin expected the title because he was on the Council - but Secura was never near that stage, and, keep in mind, she only became a knight in 28 BBY. QuentinGeorge 05:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * They never did say whose Padawan Zonder was... CooperTFN 22:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Saesee Tiin never took a Padawan yet he became a master and a council member. Randar Kal 01:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You've just answered your own question. He became a Master because he became a Council Member. Aayla was neither. QuentinGeorge 20:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * With regard to QuentinGeorge's last post: It clearly says in Aayla's entry here that she turned to the dark side at one point; http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Aayla_Secura#Brush_with_the_dark_side
 * "Brushing" the dark side doesn't give you knowledge over it. QuentinGeorge 11:01, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * All Jedi Knights were Generals within the Republic's army, all Jedi Masters were High Generals, and all Padawans were Commanders. This was put into place by Palpatine. But in Star Wars: Legacy of the Force - Betrayal, one of the characters said that Aayla Secura was a Jedi Master. But then again, that could be stipulated as misinformation on the character's part. So, I personally think it could go either way... until someone like Leland Chee gives an official word.--Master Dakari 03:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, you're wrong on some of that. Not all Jedi Knights were Generals; nor were all Padawans Jedi Commanders. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Ornamentation picture
Though entertaining, is it entirely necessary? Not that I couldn't use an excuse to stare at her navel. Still, I'm half expecting the next picture to be "Breasts. Aayla has two of them.  They're quite nice."
 * LOL I think I just shot half a coke out of my nose when I read that! Seriously though, I agree that perhaps the image should be sized down a bit. It's one of the biggest pics on the page the way it is. Cull Tremayne 22:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I uploaded the original version of that image. I thought it was interesting and gave some insight into the character. I agree though it is a bit large...I think it should stay but be sized down a little. bit. In defense of this, I think Darth Maul's earring should also be pictured. If I find one I'll probably post it.User:DannyBoy7783
 * Can someone please add that breast picture in?
 * im all for that, erm i mean yes the picture needs to be resized... Jedi Dude 19:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Who's the coward who didnt sign his name when he requested a picture of Aayla's, ya know. I would just like to tell them that there are many respectable people on this site, not saying i am one, but there are respectable people who would be horrified at that pic. meh heh.

Is This Fanon?
In her early life, it is said the Quinlan Vos and Secura witnessed a Dug threating a Gungan on Tatooine. Could it be that the two could have aided Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in their mission back to Coruscant? Or did domebody feel like putting their two cents in. --Quidon88 19:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Goddess writtings
''However, despite the attempts of the Empire, Aayla was remembered by the peoples of the worlds she aided, in some cases merging with pre-existing goddess myths or historical figures. Even as late as 40 ABY, the descendents of such worlds were still writing fictituous accounts of her life.'' Is this supposed to be a reference to all the fanon that speculated that Aayla was alive? -- SFH 18:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

--- I think it's in a Legacy of the Force book.

 * nope, i'll find the exact paragraph later, it didn't mean hat it currently says though. It was more like becasue of how mystical the jedi were some such as Aayla became associated with gods etc. Jedi Dude 14:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Noticed something in Aayla Secura's article
-Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto had a relation ship, and now they can't get children, but a close relationship is against the Jedi Code.

Hmmm...I did notice that in Aayla Secura's article they put this sentence...

"Aayla was known to have an especially close friendship with Master Kit Fisto, a friendship that would have become something more, as fellow Jedi speculated, had neither of them been a Jedi of that period."

I was wondering what it would have amounted too...they might've loved each other, but then what would happen? They most certainly wouldn't have children, imagine! Twi'lek x Nautolan children running around...

I know, I meant if they weren't Jedi, they still wouldn't be able to have children because they are both different species, right? --
 * Don't mean to be rude, but this would be better off asked here: Talk: Aayla Secura. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry...that's okay. I don't take things personally. Ummm...I'll copy all this to the talk page of that article and erase all the text here and an admin can delete it. - Darth Rabbit
 * I don't think a Twi'lek and a Nautolan can reproduce... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 13:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I figured, so technically that sentence would be incorrect, right? - Darth Rabbit
 * They probably would have been married or something, though. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 18:56, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There's recently been a debate over on the OS forums that's ended with the conclusion (supported by VIPs) that Humans and Twi'leks can't reproduce, so it's unlikely Nautolans and Twi'leks can either - Kwenn 20:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if VIPs wouldn't have supported it, I would have said that maybe a future source (The New Essential Guide to Alien Species, perhaps?) would say something like "Humans and Twi'lek can reproduce, as well as Nautolans and Twi'leks". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Big key note is that they're different species. One of the definitions of being a different species is that you're genetically incompatible in just about every situation known.  Given the amount of people who seem to like to interact with Twi'leks, I'm pretty sure that if they were compatible in even the remotest sense, you'd have heard about it by now.  One of the challenges with interspecies is that you can't have kids.--LightWarden 17:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Better Quote
I find the quote to be sexist and does not capture the likeness of the person at all in any way. Can we please find another one?
 * I've never liked it myself (not because it's "sexist") but simply because it sounds off. Anyway, scrounged up some...

"This girl - Aayla - she called me through the Force. She helped me calm me in battle with the wampa. Could she be... A Jedi? Perhaps."

- Quinlan Vos and Tholme

"The Light is greater then the anger of the darkness, Quin. I know. Because you told me that long ago...Master."

- Aayla Secura

"You underestimate Jeedai, my son!"

- Tsyr

 * When I say sexist I mean that is the message that the quote gives, that the person who is saying that is sexist. These are all great quotes.--Herbsewell 02:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. If any, I think number one is pretty good. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 03:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not saying it should be changed, but perhaps a sexist quote isn't entirely inappropriate with Aayla, considering her rise to fame was entirely launched off the fact that she was a twi'lek Jedi wearing less clothes than usual. Face it, if she hadn't been like that in AOTC, there wouldn't be *half* as many back stories about her. After all, in AOTC she had no dialog, no particularly notable actions that made her stand out, no specially colored lightsaber, nothing... nothing, except, an appealing bared abdomen and a couple of nicely proportioned mammary glands and a decent looking set of gluteal muscles, all of which were concealed only by habiliments that were quite a bit tighter than usual for a Jedi. 129.107.81.12 06:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Main image
Which image is best for the main infobox?

Option 1

 * 1) This has a better quality and no distracting background. Besides, full-body images aren't always necessary. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I vote this one only because the other pic is so commonly used. -- Ozzel 04:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Closest to being encyclopedic. .  .  .  .  02:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Option 2

 * 1) This image shows the complete package, including lekku and doesn't cut her elbow off on one arm. - JMAS 21:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm fine with this one, background and all. The newer, bigger version is even better. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 00:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Better picture, and who cares if there's a background? jSarek 02:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 6)  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * If it wasn't for the background in Option 2, then I'd vote it in a heartbeat. Any objections to cropping it? -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 22:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that'd be fine, but the background would still be too distracting. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean cut the background out entirley and give it a grey background. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 23:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No. That makes it fan-modified, and therefore fanart. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So?--Herbsewell 23:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fanart is not used in articles because it's not canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So promotional images are?--Herbsewell 23:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, promotional images are canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So does that mean at some point Boba Fett stood in a Grey Room?--Herbsewell 23:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * They're official images, Herbsewell. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah but are they canon?--Herbsewell 23:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If they're official, they're canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh, stop it. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm just asking a question.--Herbsewell 23:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A very pointless one. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if that's your opinion. Actually, a large portion of the images are cropped.--Herbsewell 23:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not an issue. It's still an official promotional image. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, which can be cropped.--Herbsewell 23:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * But not like what Redemption was thinking. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No...main images like the one for Padme have had the background cropped.--Herbsewell 00:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What Jack is saying is, that by removing the background and making it gray, you'd be making the image into a fan-modified image. His opinion is that makes it no longer canon. However, there is no rule that states that fan edited images cannot be used. In the meantime though, I've cropped down the image. - JMAS 00:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * JMAS, we don't use fan-modified images. Same reason why we don't put fanon in the articles. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 01:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Like it or not, the fact is that we do. -- Ozzel 01:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The image is fine just as it is, but taking the Option 2 image and making the background grey does not make the image fanon. Taking that image of Aayla and then photoshopping her onto an image with a Mustafar background, or an image with Luke Skywalker in it, for example, that would be fanon. - JMAS 01:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Fan-modified images are all the same. The examples Ozzel provided should be removed from any articles they are currently on. Keeping them would just incite others to modified other images to use in articles. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 01:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh no, please not another vote on Luke Skywalker's main image... -- Ozzel 01:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with isolating an image's essential component. It's a common practice, and I do it myself. As long as the subject itself isn't modified in some way that's incompatible with canon, I don't see any problem. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 01:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Partially done. I'm having trouble with the saber (no idea why - used to be able to make pretty good ones). Anyone who is (and I know someone is), insert the blade.-- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 02:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"If any, I'd say number four. But honestly, it's not as good as the current main image."
 * I'll add one tonight when I get home to my Photoshop. - JMAS 02:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why are we bothering? Is it that important that an infobox image have no background?  The background doesn't draw attention from the subject in any way or lead to confusion as to what the subject is.  Just leave it be. jSarek 02:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * (A) Because the background is distracting. Though I do know that Aayla is the subject, my eyes are still darting to the background. (B) Because we can. Articles can't be just "fine". They have to be perfect. Always go for the top. The best. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 02:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I really don't think there's any need to remove the background. My statement of a fact earlier was not necessarily indicative my opinion. I'm not completely against editing images per se, but in a case like this, I don't see why it's at all necessary. "Distracting" is subjective; I think it looks fine (even if it is obviously a fake backdrop). I don't think it should be removed just for the sake of removing it. -- Ozzel 04:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, got it with a lightsaber. Although, I do agree with jSarek. I don't think removing the original background is necessary. - JMAS 04:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * "Perfection" is subjective, Redemption. Some of us find the authenticity of an original image, and the richness of context provided by the surroundings depicted therein, to be more "perfect" than the allegedly improved aesthetics of isolating the topic of the image. jSarek 07:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd agree. If image two were to win, use the Geonosis version, not these newer versions. Besides, her lightsaber's color is different in this fan-modified image. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. We shouldn't be using edited images. There's nothing wrong with having a background; the image is a bonafide promotional pic from AotC anyway, so LucasFilm has no qualms about releasing images with various backgrounds. The fact remains that Redemption's images have been Photoshopped, and their use will only propogate similarly-edited images, which we don't want - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 17:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * But we are already doing it. Ozzel already stated which articles use it. If you don't wish to use the grey modified background, then that is something for the community to decide. Even our dear admins do not control this aspect (sorry, but you don't - it's a community decision) -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Just because we're currently using fan-modified images doesn't mean it's right, Redemption. That's something that can, should, and likely will be changed. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Technically, an admin just gave the okay to use images if only the background has been cut. Unless you find better one, then tough luck, Jack. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 22:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't care what an admin said about this. Admins don't get to decide what's canon and what's not. Fan-modified images are not canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as the character itself isn't modified or placed in a weird environment, then it can still be considered canon. The background only serves to make the subject standout. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 22:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Besides Jack, if the majority of the Wookieepedians can accept modified images as being canon, then there's nothing you can really do about it.--Herbsewell 23:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If the majority of Wookieepedians told you to jump off a cliff, would you do so? I don't think so. The fact remains that fan-modified images, no matter how much people like them, are not canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 01:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * So why don't you take all of them off for us?--Herbsewell 01:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Because, judging by what others have said, they would revert my edit and/or start a similar vote. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 01:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I like my promotional images cropped, and the background changed.--Herbsewell 01:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * When removing text, it's modifying the image. When you resize the image. It's modifying it. When you crop it. Modified. By your standards, every single image should be removed. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 21:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No. Those edits to an image aren't changing the main image or the background. Cropping is, slightly, but it's still not changing the whole thing, which would make it fan-modified. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I know this very hard for you to comprehend and understand, but there is no difference between whiting out a bubble and whiting a background. Same concept. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 21:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Wrong. Removing an entire background makes the image fan-modified. What's so hard about understanding that? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'd rather not white out speech bubbles at all. So what if it shows a bit of text? That's unavoidable if we're taking images from a comic - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 21:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * A text removed image is just as fan-modified as a background removed image. You are incapable of understanding that since you have never once removed a background yourself. Same EXACT thing.

Twilight & Navel
In the comic Twilight aayla is shown with other twi'lek girls. Is it possible that those are her sisters? Also where did the navel picture come from? Did Amy Allen really wear that? Quinlanfan 04:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Dead?
Ok. Sorry for dragging this one out of the dirt again... but some of you may have noticed that the upcoming LucasArts game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be featuring the same planet that Secura "died" on. It is also known that the plot will involve the player character hunting down and killing Jedi who escaped the purge. Does this strike anyone else as an attempt to work Secura back into the land of the living? --Israi 22:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC) the initial blaster shots.

 * A few weeks ago I read on Hyperspace that Aayla is thought to be dead by Bly and his troops,but that she survives

what gives???
in the star wars.com databank it says that pol secura is aayla's dad. that is wrong, he is her uncle. also what happened to her parents? who were they? Quinlanfan 22:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh... I think sw.com is more likely to be accurate than we are. Still, fair is fair. What source contradicts this? Karohalva 22:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Aayla's Stats
According to Jan Duursema, Aayla is 5'8" and was about 2 years old when Quinlan found her on Ryloth in 44 BBY. This would mean that Aayla was born in 46 BBY and I believe the meter comparison to 5'8" is 1.73 meters so I changed it accordingly. --User:Dom 21:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did someone revert the old data back when I clearly explained why I changed it? --User:Dom 23:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Number of fingers
I just read that Twi'lek have only 4 fingers on their hands. However, Aalya has 5 fingers in Ep. II and III. Shouldn't we explain this inconsistency, if this is one?... Klow 14:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

All of the Twi'leks have five fingers. They are identical to humans except the lekku, skin, and ears. Quinlanfan 16:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Lekku???
I have noticed in some of the pre-Episode II comics that she has much longer lekku. Do Twi'leks' lekku shorten as they get older? Quinlanfan 16:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It's probably just because the creators thought the lekku was too long and wanted to shorten it. There isn't any source for shortening lekku. Plokoon 9 01:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Mission
Is there any info as to what Aayla and Quinlan were doing on tatooine in Episode I? Quinlanfan 21:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Go ask these questions elsewhere please. Like Forum:Reference desk. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 22:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

No. We are supposed to ask these questions on the characters talk page.

Tatooine
What was Quin and Aayla's mission was on Tatooine in Episode I?
 * First of all, I already asked you to go to the Reference Desk. Instead, you've contradicted the purpose of a talk page and asked the same question. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 16:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably going to ignore this but oh well. Talk pages are not for discussing the character itself. Talk pages are for discussing the article. Discussing canon status, images and their placement and what needs to be improved upon. Not raw questions like this. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 16:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I was asking a question as to weather or not the mission to Tatooine was cannon. If it was I wanted to know where it is stated.
 * Cannon go boom! - Sikon 04:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

she is not dead and here 
 * She's dead. Get over it already. - Sikon 04:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I was reading over Aayla's discussion and I saw the link to deviantart.com. Me, as an artist on deviant art, would like to tell the person that put the links on this page that Deviant Art.com is a place where FANS post artwork, not REAL artist. Therefore the art you provided is NOT cannon. Just thought that I'd point that out.

Pic&Anzati
On the third picture on the page with Aayla and the Anzati jedi he states that she shall be his queen. I have the comic and I have noticied that when she is under Volfe's control she has white-ish eyes and pointed teeth. Is she turning into an Anzati? Is that even possible, to turn a non-anzati into one? If so, this needs to be stated in Aayla's page and in the Anzati page.

Aalya=great Jedi.
I think Aalya is one of the best Jedi in the universe. She is strong in force and everything!

other than alema, agreed.

Unencycloped text
I've just reverted this text that had been added under "Clone Wars" by an unregistered user. Even if it is true (it was not sourced), it was not the place to add it. However, if it can be confirmed, maybe it could be added anywhere else. - Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC) ''In Episode II Attack of the Clones, Aayla can be seen walking down the stairs in the Jedi Temple toward Obi-wan,he was on his way to visit Master Yoda to discuss why he could no locate Kamino. Yoda was was teaching a class of younglings how to use the force to detect which way blaster fire was coming. If you look closely in the background you can again see Aayla discussing something with another Jedi before she walks away.''

Brush with the dark side
"She hid herself on a pirate ship en route to Kiffex." In the comic, wasn't she arriving on Kiffex on a ship coming from Tatooine? Kuralyov 23:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed article (and Kari Wahlgren's website) says that Kari Wahlgren is doing Aayla's voice in the game... So shouldn't we add The Force Unleashed to Aayla's appearences section? Also, does anyone know exactly how Aayla will be in the game (since she's dead and all)? 70.109.233.123 04:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

 * No, she's dead, it'll be flashbacks. As for the Felucians bringing her back, the clones wouldn't just leave her body there, Palpatine would want proof that she's dead.--Rune Haako 23:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm thinking something along the lines of an add on or something, if you think about it when would the apprentice meet her? But it's definetly implied she's in the main game, artwork portrays her on Felucia. 124.177.43.112 13:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Nancy Allen


 * My guess is that she died, the Clones took her saber as proof, since the natives liked her and they were force-sesitave, they brought her back to life. Clones did bring back proof, such as sabers and paddawan braids.JediBob 22:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure she only appears in the duel mode. -MPK 01:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Saleucami
As Aayla played an important role in the Siege of Saleucami story arc, shouldn't the Siege have more than one line attributed to it? SingAurraSing 16:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Kit and Aayla
I have heard many times on here and other places that Kit and Aayla had or almost had sex. I cant find any proof that backs this up. What comic or book does it happen in?JediBob 22:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Well there is proof and picture of a relationship of the two on Kit Fisto's profile(Second last article).

New quote
I think there should be a different quote. The current one does'nt tell much about what she was like. Darth Oompa Loompa 15:22, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree....can't think of one though, she doesn't say much in the film's and I haven't read any book's with her in. any ideas? 92.236.84.252 17:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The previous one was sexist, but it was funny, and pretty true. (it was something like "breasts, Aayla has two very nice ones") I mean, can you really think of any better quote than that? It's so blantantly honest about her popularity and it describes her perfectly as well. Plus, I laughed my head off at it. There's no need to pretend she's popular because she had a compelling personality in AOTC. 129.107.81.12 21:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
