Why Aayla Secura's Order 66 Death Is the Most TRAGIC of All 

"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

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

Aalya is one of my favorite Jedi knights in star wars

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.

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

"Pumped full of blaster emissions" lol giggity

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

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

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!”

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

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

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

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

You are very talented, great job Mr. Sir!!

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.

"not enough badass women in StarWars" I can think of lots, and Aayla is the first on my list.

If I have a daughter, I want to name her Aayla ❤

You know what's weird how come the Jedi didn't notice the statues in palpatine's office I think it would have made the Jedis question his intent on being the chancellor his thoughts and then lead to questioning him for having them

She's one of my favorite Jedi I have a crush on

Amazing video

When they gonna give you an award for the most consistent fresh content?

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

One of my favorite Jedi

Aayla was what all jedi should aspire to be.

Aayla is my top favorite female Jedi

Yea no problem you guys meant well, thanks for blasting me to bits, even though I saved you countless time, and showed you and though you ignored my actions and believed I was a traitor shot me to bits it’s cool

What amazed me in the dark horse comic clone wars series was that her master was quinlan vos.

72nd like!👍 Awesome video!🤘 Keep up the awesome work!🤘😎🤘

This is really heartwarming and sad. They loved her so much. This is really sad.Aayla was really wonderful Jedi and person. This is really sad. Thanks for this.I would love to be under Asyala's command May the Force be with you

A shame we didn't see more of her in the clone wars, she's certainly a fan favourite.

The narration at 1:20 leads me to believe the Algorithm is your ally. Subscribed, I have.

It was since they really liked her and didn't want her to survive a bolt and suffer for a longer time.

It was the most tragic because what a waste of such nice chesticles .

I feel like her and Anakin Skywalker genuinely loved their clone troopers

Great video, disappointed in the comments though, absolutely nothing about the part where he mentions "Unloading on Aayla".....

Ki Adi Mundi had it coming.

Ever since the first time I saw this scene in RotS all I see is the clone troopers continuously shooting her for way longer and way more than they had to.. They did her so bad 😂

Sad 😢

If thats how clones treat the leaders around them that they supposedly "Love" then it's a good thing the clones were wiped out along with the Jedi

Duty and honor bound to execute orders from the chancellor's office. They did so with as much respect as they possibly could. I would choose Kinobi as my General.

They wore their helmets so as not to show their tears as they executed the order.

"Pumped full of blaster emissions"...tsk tsk

She survived. (In Emperor Palpatine voice)

🎉

So basically the clones bumped and filled her up with their love to quickly end her suffering 😢

The only time troopers shot over 20%

Ayla, Anakin, and Obi-Wan are the best generals to work under

The problem I have with most of this lore is that was made up AFTER the movie was released.

Everybody loves Ayla

Because the clones wanted a different order then order 66

.......❤❤❤❤❤........

Day 529 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

Yeet

Hi.

Aayla definitely is a top tier Jedi General during the Clone Wars, within the top 5 at least. Only Anakin, Obi-Wan and Plo Koon really rivals her.

Commenting before I watch but is it cuz they shot 838184739102 times?

Dunno if was MOST tragic BUT it did seem to be the most... thorough.. If not her, Kenobi an Anakin are the probably obvious but next best Jedi to serve under whom actually had respect for their troops an wasnt fond of unnecessary casualties.

Some Of This Was Made Clear In The Video Game Star Wars Battlefront 2.

I greatly admire Aayla Secura. If I were a clone I'd definitely want to fight by her side.

NNNNNNOOOOOOO

Screw the inhibitor switch. The orignal version is much more tragic

Man, this is awkward knowing her death has been somehow reversed and SW's higher-ups said she survived Order 66.

To me the entire idea of the clones saying shoot a lot that way she'll feel no pain is bonkers. If they loved her so much they could have pulled a Commander Rex move and mind fought the order long enough for her to escape as in the case with Ahsoka. ( i.e. "sweating and grunting while pointing a weapon"..... I Cu' Cu' Cant... Hhh Hhhh Hold My Self B; B;; BAck AnY LOngER .... R" Ru R R RUNN NOWWWW Secura RUNNNNNNNNN )". But No that didnt happen. They just wanted to shoot their guns a lot. And the first shot was to the body. She felt some pain the way she threw her arms up while falling.

If I was a Clone I would sev Obi wan Kenobi the 212th

It’s the most tragic because she was the single hottest Jedi of all time

Debating wether or not to block this channel from my feed. Iv had to block so many Star Wars channels
