A new Star Wars cosplay brings Jedi Master Aayla Secura to life, a reminder Disney is yet to develop one of the prequels' most popular heroes.
An amazing Star Wars cosplay has brought Jedi Master Aayla Secura to life. The Twi'lek Jedi Master Aayla Secura has the curious distinction of being a character created for tie-in comics; when George Lucas saw Aayla on one of the covers of Star Wars: Republic, he immediately decided to incorporate her into the prequel trilogy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars cosplayer Just Steph has now brought Aayla Secura to life in a stunning cosplay that has to be seen to be believed. Just Steph's lightsaber-twirling seems wonderful in character for the skilled Jedi Master, while the overall design feels much more effortless than was surely the case. Aayla Secura has been sadly neglected in more recent Star Wars canon, and it is to be hoped this cosplay will remind Lucasfilm just how popular she really is.
George Lucas Took The Best From The Star Wars Expanded Universe Aayla Secura serves as a reminder of the complicated relationship between Star Wars and the old Expanded Universe. Lucas never really considered himself bound by stories told by other writers in other mediums, but he was more than happy to draw upon them for ideas. The galactic capital of Coruscant, for example, was lifted straight from Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy.
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean Aayla's story comes to a pleasant ending. Aayla is one of the Jedi shown killed during Order 66, gunned down by the clone troopers she served alongside. She may be a popular Star Wars character, but Aayla proves popularity is no protection from the dark side. This probably explains why Aayla has been so under-developed under Disney, given the House of Mouse has prioritized the Dark Times in its written stories and the original trilogy era in comics.
