Aayla Secura

**Aayla Secura** is a character from the *Star Wars* series.

## **Charactah Account**

Aayla Secura was a Rutian Twi'lek who served as a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Prior to the Clone Wars, Secura was the Padawan learner of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. During the Clone Wars, Aayla commanded the clone troopers of the 327th Star Corps, with Commander Bly serving at Aayla's side in multiple battles across the galaxy, from Geonosis to Quell, Coruscant, and Felucia. Aayla was amongst the many casualties of Order 66 at the war's end.

Intelligent and occasionally mischievous, Aayla was also compassionate and sympathetic despite what Confederate propaganda would have its citizens believe. She displayed her compassion when talking with Tano about her bond with her master. She compared it to her own bond with her own master, Quinlan Vos, who she saw as a father figure. However, knowing she had to let go of him for the greater good, Aayla told Tano that she would have to let go of Skywalker for the same reason. In addition, Aayla prioritized the safety of the majority over the few, warning Tano to not jeopardize a thousand lives in order to save one individual.

Like any Jedi, Aayla grieved over her homeworld, Ryloth, when it fell under Separatist occupation. However, she was raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant from a young age, and as such, lacked a deep connection to her home planet. As a member of the Jedi Order, Aayla felt duty-bound to serve not just Ryloth but all worlds within the Galactic Republic.

## **Trivia**

* In Legends, Aayla was the Jedi equivalent of a honey trap, as she sometimes used her beauty as an asset and was specialized in going undercover as a pleasure slave in the true Twi'lek tradition. Again, nothing of this appears in canon.
* In Legends, Aayla was a master dual swordswoman and a charismatic battlefield general, had high abilities in infiltration and persuasion (including literal seduction, using both her Force powers and her gorgeous appearance), and survived against some nasty opponents through her career. In canon, Aayla is just an average Jedi Master with some charisma and other admirable qualities.
* In Legends, Aayla had a very close, borderline romantic relationship with Kit Fisto. In canon, she does not have such a relationship with him.
