Did anyone else see Aayla Secura in the Jedi temple?

Forgive me if this topic has already been addressed, but I was wondering how many of you noticed Aayla walking towards the camera in the Jedi temple as Obi-Wan was going to visit Master Yoda and the Bear Clan. Personally I wish it had been a close-up shot, but it was still cool to see her there.

 

Yep, I saw her there.

 

Yes, and that guy who looks like a duck.

 

Yes! Jedi Master Howard!

 

I saw here as well. I hope Secura returns for Episode III. Interesting character.

 

That guy who looks like a duck is Pablo Jill, and doesn't look as much like a duck as you might have thought.

 

Yeah, i saw her too, she was on the far right along with Mr. Ducky.

 

is she the blue chick?

If so, yes.

 

Yep, hard to miss.

 

I saw her there as well, struttin' her stuff.

If I was Obi-Wan walking towards the training room, I might have bumped into something because of the distraction

 

Yeah, she's the blue chick.

 

she's hot, but I don't reallyg et what the bid deal is about her. I mean isn't she jsut a glorified Extra? Or is she meant to have a bigger role later on?

I'm jsut curious, I don't really understand the whole AS phenomenon

 

I'm pretty sure Aayla was part of the EU prior to having a role in AOTC. I think that's why she's a "glorified extra".

 

really? thats cool. in comic books? or novels?

So do you think she will have some lines in ep3, is she an emerging character like Bail?

 

I'm hoping to see more of Aayla in action during Episode III - but even that seems kind of unlikely.

-Bjrok.

 

I pretty much noticed her right away.

Blue skin, revealing Jedi outfit, the way she walked like a fashion model - all attention grabbers.

 

Aayla was a character in the ongoing comic series when GL saw her on a comic cover and had her stuck inta the movie. Proof that while he doesnt really work with the EU, he does acknowlege it. One thing tho, Aayla's little outfit is cool , but doesnt seem to be very Jedi-ey. I would think sheed' be more modest.

 

Hey, RogueWompRat, is that a complaint I hear? Man...

You can also see Amy Allen who portrayed Aayla in Episode II without the Aayla make-up/outfit in the Coruscant "Outlander" club scene.
You see her wearing a red/black outfit with a large headpiece, she walks past behind Obi-Wan Kenobi when he says to Anakin "In that case be extra careful." (You might have to play it at slow-motion to spot her.)

 

It's so that Aayla Secura was first an EU comic character, created by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema for the "Twilight" Star Wars comic. When George Lucas saw Jon Foster's cover for "Darkness" issue 2, which featues Aayla, he wanted her added to Episode II. Amy Allen, who at that time was an ILM employee, got to portray Aayla.

Aayla Secura appears in these comics:
- Dark Horse Extra "Heart of Fire"
- Dark Horse "Star Wars Ongoing#19-22: Twilight"
- Dark Horse "Star Wars Ongoing #32-35: Darkness"
- Dark Horse "Star Wars Ongoing#36-39: The Stark Hyperspace War"

Yes, Aayla, OB1, Pablo-Jill AND Coleman Trebor (at least one of the same race).
The jedi temple is a small place after all...

 

I did not see her anywhere in AOTC!

 

Anyone else think that GodofDeath is stalking Aayla?

 

"Anyone else think that GodofDeath is stalking Aayla?"

Lol! Actually it's just my favorite SW character. The comics she appears in are great artpieces, which is also great.
