There is a lot of lore in this film, both canon and legends, intertwined with our creative liberties, so expect another video where we break down the details!
Please tell me there is a sequel to this being considered (or a prequel/adaptation to moments/scenes from her EU story) because I WILL throw money at such a kickstarter campaign in a heartbeat. And after this work of passion kicks gets more support and exposure I am sure I am won't be the only one! What if continuation of Aayla's story for the win!
@@Forcy-20 Thank you so much for such support! We are not allowed to raise funds for the Star Wars films, but there are ways you can support my creative work for sure. Instagram is the best place to keep an eye on everything (@rei.kenex). And I definitely have to make more Aayla stories! Now that we saved her lol she needs to go on adventures.
It was super cool. Beyond words for a fan production. I’m looking forward to any sequels. P.S.: You guys excel at your hobby, hopefully you can make a living off it. 😂
@@havocfilms3428 With the exception of the very rare treasonous clone hating jedi I doubt any of the clones wanted to turn on them. Resisting order 66 is however exceptionally difficult thou I understand there are some rare exceptions. It is also possible that some clones resisted just briefly, long enough for their targeted jedi to escape or defeat them. Imagine a scean with a clone mustering just enough willpower to throw away his blaster shouting to his jedi general to run and you get the idea.
@@michaelpettersson4919 only rex had the will to even resist but still the inevitable happened and even so if a clone could resist for a few seconds imagine how many tried and in the best case they succeeded only for seconds after becoming soulless soldiers, that hurts of many ways
@@michaelpettersson4919 Clones were originally brainwashed/conditioned for order 66. Hence why Havoc mentioned he wanted to make it quick. The clones were fully aware of it.
@@MMZERO9 That's the thing. It's canon in the comics that the clones in her company weren't affected by the chips. They CHOSE to follow orders. They hated it, but they still pulled the triggers.
In my day, inhibitor chips weren’t even a thing. It was something added later to justify why the close connection the Jedi made with their troops could easily be severed. Really a stupid addition imo. I like to believe the clones knew what they’d have to do from the start and were just waiting for orders, but didn’t realize how hard following orders was going to have to be when the day came. Hence Battlefront 2’s 501st campaign narration.
Aayla is a very powerful jedi, she is only briefly shown in either the clone wars series and the trilogy. This fan film goes so much deeper and incorporates the trust in the force a lot more. And that just within 6 min. I love Aayla and I know she is a lot wiser than we got to see in the movies. You guys created a wonderful piece of art! May the force be with you.
Did I just watch something where Aayla Secura was retconned to be alive…… I love this, all of it. Her and Ahsoka teaming up to take down Sidious and Vader? Why hasn’t this happen yet. The force is strong with this one, boys. Bravo!!
Nah… IMO i just think that sometimes death should be absolute in Star Wars. I like Aayla but I prefer her dead… it just makes her character more meaningful. Modern Star Wars is overdoing the whole “but wait…they actually are alive!” Stuff too much and it is getting old. Maybe a brief cameo as a force ghost but other than that. Nah… she should just be… well…. Yeah.
@@mw9688the only person that should have “survived” was Palpatine, because he was ALWAYS 10 steps ahead of everyone else and very much into cloning…that makes sense, unlike Maul or Boba
@@collegebro85 agreed… unfortunately by the time Disney had done it. Star Wars was already chalk full of characters that “somehow survived”. So… it was all crap.
" I FEEL I NEED TO BE ON CORUSCANT " This simple line makes Aayla Secura one of the greatest Jedi ever, very strong with the Force. Coruscant is where the Force wanted her to be, instead of her meaningless death on Felucia where she was totally caught by surprise, shot in the back without even realizing what's going on. You did a great work with this amazing fan film, every part of it is a masterpiece within only 7 minutes. I love to think this is just the trailer of something bigger coming.. #aaylasavesthefuture
I know Aayla was ambushed but I feel like she was a much stronger and wiser jedi that she would have been able to sense the attack and fight her way out. On a side note I loved every bit of this fan film. ❤️ great job guys.
@@ReiKennex Have you guys seen the breakdown where if you watch that scene in slowmo you can tell she sees her men raise their weapons and she turns to see what they're going to fire at because she thinks they spotted a threat she didn't? :')
This was absolutely perfect, Rei! It embodied everything about Aayla's relationship with the 327th, and her close friendship with Bly. The banter between her and Bly was so good, but the hesitation Bly showed when Order 66 was activated broke my heart. You've outdone yourself with this one, huge props to you!
THIS SHOULD BE CANNON I LOVE THIS!!? the training scene with Bly and Aayla does a really good job fore-shadowing order 66 and it makes it more sad that Bly had to do it because he said that he doesn't want to hurt Aayla but he'll be forced to.
Aayla Secura is one of my favourite of all Jedi in Clone Wars! It's great to see some attention to this character. You are great both as Aayla and as Ahsoka in "Folcrum" - just wish that those short fan films were a full-length tv series like The Mandalorian and Kenobi. You have a natural gift for characters adaptation, how to exploit their depth and show it on the screen and an amazing voice - all of that should be used in high-budget production so that more fans could appreciate this passion born out of love for Star Wars :) May the Force be with You!
Wow thank you so much for such a great comment! It means a lot, I do invest all my heart into these. Hopefully it will happen, what you said - high-budget productions mean more awesomeness to create for Star Wars fans! :) If Disney+ did an Aayla series... I would absolutely love to play her!
You did a good job with this. Certainly better than anything Disney has put out. It's probably the reason why they shut down fan made films with threats of lawsuits.

Cody and Boy are two of my favorite clones. This gave me chills! The dialog and knowing what was going to happen and the way you changed it. Well done!
Great job mate without a doubt a great short, it is a good detail that you delve into the close relationship of Aayla and Bly, it is a pity that they have not show something like this in Clone Wars or ROTS
So awesome. Secura is another Jefi I wished had survived Order 66! It would been awesome if she really did defy orders and had been able to have her Clone Commanders chip removed, & he helped her prevent her clones at least turning against her. Again you and your whole team did awesome on this film. Can’t wait to see the next one.
We need a sequel, this film is just absolutely amazing. Aayla has always been my favourite jedi but she didn't get enough recognition so thank you for giving her the chance to shine
It’s very heartwarming to know there are fans out there who ACTUALLY love Star Wars, and really show it. I really wish to act in these films, they make it look really fun. And I’m not just talking about Hollywood, I mean, both that AND these fan films. Loved this VERY much, and really looking forward to more.
I love how much of Aayla Secura’s character was fleshed out in the Dark Horse Clone Wars comics (beyond looking sexy), and it shows how you guys really dived into her dimensions as a character. Aayla isn’t just a Jedi either who follows whatever the Council wishes; she’s got her own emotional arc as well - partly because of her species. Twi’leks are very empathetic and emotional species (especially when in tune with the Force); their lekku store these emotions and makes their memories that much more powerful (even in a feminine sense). Furthermore, Aayla knows what it feels like to be subjugated to slavery (something she and Anakin more likely bonded over). She knows all too well that Twi’lek women were viewed as either pampered princesses or sexual objects. She endured slavery from childhood too until Quinlan Vos sensed the Force within her and took it upon himself to train her as a Jedi. He would be like a father figure to her, as both know more than anything how difficult it is being a Jedi and being able to express emotions. It’s a slippery slope both of them traveled when the dark side was involved. But that’s what makes Aayla Secura a true Jedi - spiritual, balanced, and dedicated.
Beautiful summary! Yes, all of that was exactly what we love about Aayla, and that's the character I wanted to portray and and introduce more people to (many know about Aayla but don't really know anything about her, her past, her personality, her bond with Bly etc). It's awesome that you caught those moments from the comics.
@@ReiKennex I love the Dark Horse comics (kinda a shame TCW retconned most of the ideas presented)! We explore more about Tholme, Tra’Saa, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Khaleen Hentz, etc. and how their bonds are all interconnected when it came to the Clone Wars and the mission at hand with identifying who Dooku’s master was.
Well done. I'm a fan of Aayla. I love the "Not affiliated with Lucasfilm/Disney....yet." I'd watch a feature length film of this character alone. Slán.
@@indecisivewolf5620 critical thinking isn't really a thing for you, is it? did you completely miss the foreshadowing YET that was thrown at the end? THAT is what was clever to me.
@@indecisivewolf5620 Tá tú chomh haineolach le cúl magaralach. Of course you don't see what critical thinking has to do with it. YOU missed a word that denotes the entire context of it, yet decided to instead of re-reading it, decided to instead become a living, breathing "Well Actually" meme. Cúl tóna.
Loved the Phase II Clone Armor! You made them in the Clone Wars style, and I think it's the first time I'm seeing them in live action. Absolutely stunning!
I've been watching SW fan films over the last few weeks on RUclips, and they are ALL OF THEM better than anything I've seen out of Disney. This one in particular is beautifully created - cinematography, acting, writing, music. Excellent.
It was amazing, Aayla's story in the Expanded Universe is something amazing and well-crafted, which made her my favorite Jedi, or rather, even my favorite Star Wars character Her friendship with Quilan Vos, Tholme, Kit Fisto and Bly. It was certainly something unique and special. I can say that she is one of the characters I know the most in SW, because she is an incredible character, with a very rich history. And the ending was amazing, it would be an interesting what if, which I could explore a little more of her, since we didn't see her much beyond the comics. Excellent job!
Yes, exactly! Her story is incredible. And we took some moments from the comics - which I'm sure you recognized, it made her so much more wholesome on screen. :) Totally adore her.
Holy shit this was incredible! Aayla looked beautiful and the clones were epic! Especially the voices. There was so much care put into this. I love the feeling of impending doom as well.
Aayla Secura was my favorite Jedi in the prequel movie and one I have my first Star Wars crush on. She had quite an interesting yet dark backstory as well as a relationship that was close to developing with Kit Fisto; truly beautiful Jedi that made it all the more heartbreaking during Order66. ( at least when I look into her troops thoughts they knew shooting her down with a quick death, instead of being stranded in a harsh jungle planet or being tortured into an Inquisitor.) For giving our Blue Badass Beauty is second chance, you've earned my subscription!
The costumes were stunning, the voices of the clones were spot on, graphics amazing, I can keep complimenting all day, but then my reaction gets too long. I wonder when the Ahsoka Fan Film gets released (if you ever plan on making/posting one, and i don't mean the trailer, even tho that one looks amazing as well). If you do, I already know that you will nail it. I ask you because you once said that you wanted to do a 15 minute version :) May the 4th be with you, always.
nice done! She looks amazing and the outfit of the clones was on point! It's like watching extended scenes before that sad moment in Felucia... =/ Thanks for doing this :)
I would honestly love a series about Aayla. Growing up, Aayla Secura was always my favorite Jedi. I have always loved her design. And I just loved trying to spot her in the background of the movies. Playing as her in Battlefront II is what really made me love her, it got me interested in her lore and back story. And now that I'm older and I know more about her, I find her even more interesting. It's a shame what happened to her, and quite sad that we'll likely never see her on screen again. 😕
Now that's the ending that resides with me.."Master" Secura was not a clueless padawan and this ending was more character of her of her Knighthood. Anakin explains how Jedi's foresee any threat in the book Grand Admiral Thrawn. Their training for it begins as a padawan blindfolded...thus they sense and learn to listen to the force. Well done!👍
Wow that was weird... Crazy synchronicity here guys. My gf & I just watched the first 3 episodes of Clone Wars season 6 where they first uncover the plot for order 66 and 5s discovers the chip in Tup. So first of all that's weird n cool. I love strange coincidences like that. But also this was not only beautiful n well made n acted n looked fantastic but it really hit me in the feels as well since Ayala is one of my personal favorite Jedi. I wish she had survived order 66 with some of the others. Anyway... Great job keep it up, keep it up, keep em coming
This is absolutely brilliant!! Loving what fans can achieve with hard work, perseverance and passion, truly amazing! Keep it up, looking forward to your future videos!
@@ReiKennex Do you mind me asking, if/how you got funding for the project, as I'm also wanting to do a fan film but I don't really know the whole process around getting a budget
As a lifelong fan of Star Wars & it’s expanded universe, loved how this project was handled. Bly & Aayla looked fantastic & their actors did a fantastic job with the performances! And that ending with that big twist is icing on the cake, not saying what it is so that people can watch it instead of seeing it spoiled in the comments. This is a legitimately really good Star Wars fan film! Well done!
Wonderful! This was an enjoyable addition to our Star Wars Universe, especially with how it ties canon and Legends continuity together. Plus, given the good production value, strong acting, and emotional storyline, this film has become one of my favorites, having expanded upon Aayla's story (much like how Darth Maul: Apprentice did for the Sith Lord ;)). I would love to see more^^ Thank you to everyone involved in making this amazing project! I feel very lucky indeed to be a Star Wars fan while having access to professional-level fanfiction 😀
Great insight on the point that jedi lost their path being more soldier like instead of simply following the Force. As usual you're doing amazing job, keep it simple, keep it deep as you did it so far
Awesome film and I love the topic. Thank you! She was my favorite character in the prequels by far. She had so much potential and I was sad to see her killed in order 66, such a waste. It would be nice to see her survive somehow in official canon. I could think of so many they could utilize her.
Wow, that was amazing. When the first credits hit I was like "Interesting... that was good, but somewhat simple and to the point...." and then my jaw dropped. Really well done.
There’s a lot of Star Wars fan films out there. I have even been involved with one myself. Some are good, excellent and some are in a galaxy far, far away. Secura was a fantastic fan film. A great, great job well done to all those involved. May the force be with you.
I enjoyed this thoroughly. I liked the story and I'm impressed by the location (looks volcanic?), the filming, direction, acting...oh and the story. Yes it's not prefect but we're not talkiing major studio here. I think it's great we're getting these kind of stories. Fair play also to Disney for allowing these kind of stories
Thank you! Budget is the main hurdle in executing it as perfectly as we would like it. Time and CGI and technical limits are hard to overcome when you don't have all necessary resources to make a story as epic as we have it all in our minds :)
In battlefront 2 anytime I was given the option I would choose to play as Aayla, i love that character, this was really well done, and a cool take on "what could have happened instead".
Thank you Rei, God has giving you a great gift of portraying these wonderful Star Wars characters like Aayla and Ahsoka. I know there has to be away to donate as long it does not make a profit. There has to be a way, let the FORCE GUIDE US ON THIS PATH!
Your accent is perfect for a twi’lek! You make a fantastic Aayla! Congratulations to you, the other actors, the filmmakers and the whole team on a great piece of work!
YES!!!!! This is a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one. Rei, you're a queen in both Twi'lek and Togruta in any character. Aayla is my favorite best girl. Edit: The athletics in blocking those bolts is super gorgeous. Aayla living out order 66 would be fun.

Don't be naive, Sidious will easily kill them both alone
Nah… IMO i just think that sometimes death should be absolute in Star Wars.
I like Aayla but I prefer her dead… it just makes her character more meaningful. Modern Star Wars is overdoing the whole “but wait…they actually are alive!” Stuff too much and it is getting old.

Twi’leks are very empathetic and emotional species (especially when in tune with the Force); their lekku store these emotions and makes their memories that much more powerful (even in a feminine sense). Furthermore, Aayla knows what it feels like to be subjugated to slavery (something she and Anakin more likely bonded over). She knows all too well that Twi’lek women were viewed as either pampered princesses or sexual objects. She endured slavery from childhood too until Quinlan Vos sensed the Force within her and took it upon himself to train her as a Jedi. He would be like a father figure to her, as both know more than anything how difficult it is being a Jedi and being able to express emotions. It’s a slippery slope both of them traveled when the dark side was involved. But that’s what makes Aayla Secura a true Jedi - spiritual, balanced, and dedicated.
Beautiful summary! Yes, all of that was exactly what we love about Aayla, and that's the character I wanted to portray and and introduce more people to (many know about Aayla but don't really know anything about her, her past, her personality, her bond with Bly etc). It's awesome that you caught those moments from the comics.
@@ReiKennex I love the Dark Horse comics (kinda a shame TCW retconned most of the ideas presented)! We explore more about Tholme, Tra’Saa, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Khaleen Hentz, etc. and how their bonds are all interconnected when it came to the Clone Wars and the mission at hand with identifying who Dooku’s master was.
@@EricGraham94 Yeah I love those stories!
You're speaking of fan cannon. Neither legends nor real canon. There is a fan cannon forum where someone made it up about Twi'leks lekku.
It's in the comics about the lekku.
Love, love, love this. Awesome portrayal! The production is so well done too. Why can't today's Star Wars be more like this?
Well done. I'm a fan of Aayla. I love the "Not affiliated with Lucasfilm/Disney....yet." I'd watch a feature length film of this character alone. Slán.
I think you are the only one who noticed it lol And thank you. I wanna make a feature so bad, she deserves it.
I mean...it's a fan film. They kind of _have_ to put that disclaimer.
@@indecisivewolf5620 critical thinking isn't really a thing for you, is it? did you completely miss the foreshadowing YET that was thrown at the end? THAT is what was clever to me.
@@rickc-arelsii6276 I don't see what critical thinking has to do with me missing one word but go off lol
@@indecisivewolf5620 Tá tú chomh haineolach le cúl magaralach. Of course you don't see what critical thinking has to do with it. YOU missed a word that denotes the entire context of it, yet decided to instead of re-reading it, decided to instead become a living, breathing "Well Actually" meme. Cúl tóna.
I love the alternate ending, thank you for including it
Loved the Phase II Clone Armor!
You made them in the Clone Wars style, and I think it's the first time I'm seeing them in live action.
Absolutely stunning!
Jeremi and John did an incredible job on the armor, and I LOVE clones. So it was a bit self-indulgent, not gonna lie lol
I've been watching SW fan films over the last few weeks on RUclips, and they are ALL OF THEM better than anything I've seen out of Disney. This one in particular is beautifully created - cinematography, acting, writing, music. Excellent.
Great job! Loved the twist!! Hey Disney... Hire this crew!!! Now!!!!
🐺
Daaamn, I had goosebumps, hard to get for a fan film. Respect and congratulations, keep it up!
It was amazing, Aayla's story in the Expanded Universe is something amazing and well-crafted, which made her my favorite Jedi, or rather, even my favorite Star Wars character Her friendship with Quilan Vos, Tholme, Kit Fisto and Bly. It was certainly something unique and special. I can say that she is one of the characters I know the most in SW, because she is an incredible character, with a very rich history. And the ending was amazing, it would be an interesting what if, which I could explore a little more of her, since we didn't see her much beyond the comics. Excellent job!
Yes, exactly! Her story is incredible. And we took some moments from the comics - which I'm sure you recognized, it made her so much more wholesome on screen. :) Totally adore her.
Excellent work!!!!! Red is acting so good...Troopers are perfect!
Ayla Secura. One of my favorites!!
I like this little alternate timeline you created. I'd love to follow and see more Aayla films.
Holy shit this was incredible! Aayla looked beautiful and the clones were epic! Especially the voices. There was so much care put into this. I love the feeling of impending doom as well.
Aayla Secura was my favorite Jedi in the prequel movie and one I have my first Star Wars crush on. She had quite an interesting yet dark backstory as well as a relationship that was close to developing with Kit Fisto; truly beautiful Jedi that made it all the more heartbreaking during Order66. ( at least when I look into her troops thoughts they knew shooting her down with a quick death, instead of being stranded in a harsh jungle planet or being tortured into an Inquisitor.)
For giving our Blue Badass Beauty is second chance, you've earned my subscription!
She does have an amazing backstory. Enough for the whole show :)
She is awesome glad she survived in what if timeline
@ReiKennex : Considering her master Quinlan Voss is the best jedi master besides Yoda ,then Of course her backs will be awesome 👌
Fantastic. Waiting for the full length feature of Aayla, staring you, Rei.
You had me in the first half!
I thought it was just a straight up remake of that scene and the ending was surprising.
Love this!!!!! Excited!
AD_edits is here!! 😮
Oh wow, thank you very much, means a lot! You do insanely impressive work! 💙💙
Fantastic Costumes, great Story and playing. As good as the Ahsoka Film. You have a new follower, because i want more. Greetings drin Germany.
Thank you! :)
The costumes were stunning, the voices of the clones were spot on, graphics amazing, I can keep complimenting all day, but then my reaction gets too long.
I wonder when the Ahsoka Fan Film gets released (if you ever plan on making/posting one, and i don't mean the trailer, even tho that one looks amazing as well). If you do, I already know that you will nail it. I ask you because you once said that you wanted to do a 15 minute version :)
May the 4th be with you, always.
Thank you! so glad you enjoyed it! :)
nice done! She looks amazing and the outfit of the clones was on point!
It's like watching extended scenes before that sad moment in Felucia... =/
Thanks for doing this :)
Thank you! :)
I hope you watched the whole video past the first credits.
I love seeing Star Wars fan films. You can see the passion in each project. Hope this video gets more views.
This is so high quality and fitting within the universe. Beautiful film :)
I would honestly love a series about Aayla. Growing up, Aayla Secura was always my favorite Jedi. I have always loved her design. And I just loved trying to spot her in the background of the movies. Playing as her in Battlefront II is what really made me love her, it got me interested in her lore and back story. And now that I'm older and I know more about her, I find her even more interesting. It's a shame what happened to her, and quite sad that we'll likely never see her on screen again. 😕
She definitely deserves a series. I agree with you, she is an amazing character and that's exactly why we made this film and hopefully will do more.
Now that's the ending that resides with me.."Master" Secura was not a clueless padawan and this ending was more character of her of her Knighthood. Anakin explains how Jedi's foresee any threat in the book Grand Admiral Thrawn. Their training for it begins as a padawan blindfolded...thus they sense and learn to listen to the force. Well done!👍
This is amazing! Great work, I love it 💯👏👏👏
I love the voices for the clone troopers!!! And the libertys taken really five justice to aayla. Good job to all ya
For me, this gave me The Clone Wars vibes. Really cool and awesome to see more Aayla Secura!
Thank you very much for the remark! We did draw tons of inspirations from The Clone Wars for this.
Amazing! great job wow :) beautiful shots, soundtrack, and effects!
I thought that it was over, and immediately liked it. Then I realized there was more…
Amazing job!
You have done an excellent job in making this film. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Amazing work, love the what if? vibe as well!
This is wonderful. Such a loving tribute to one of my fave characters.
Thank you so much, I'm very happy Aayla's fan like you enjoyed it :)
Wow that was weird... Crazy synchronicity here guys. My gf & I just watched the first 3 episodes of Clone Wars season 6 where they first uncover the plot for order 66 and 5s discovers the chip in Tup. So first of all that's weird n cool. I love strange coincidences like that.
But also this was not only beautiful n well made n acted n looked fantastic but it really hit me in the feels as well since Ayala is one of my personal favorite Jedi. I wish she had survived order 66 with some of the others. Anyway... Great job keep it up, keep it up, keep em coming
This is absolutely brilliant!! Loving what fans can achieve with hard work, perseverance and passion, truly amazing! Keep it up, looking forward to your future videos!
Thank you :)
@@ReiKennex Do you mind me asking, if/how you got funding for the project, as I'm also wanting to do a fan film but I don't really know the whole process around getting a budget
That was great ! I've always been a fan of Aayla Secura and you did just homage to here here. Well done to all concerned with this film.
Wow, I can't describe how amazing this was for me :O Aayla is my favorite character and you did her justice, GREAT JOB!
This means a lot, thank you so much! I am completely smitten by her character.
As a lifelong fan of Star Wars & it’s expanded universe, loved how this project was handled. Bly & Aayla looked fantastic & their actors did a fantastic job with the performances! And that ending with that big twist is icing on the cake, not saying what it is so that people can watch it instead of seeing it spoiled in the comments. This is a legitimately really good Star Wars fan film! Well done!
Very cool concept with this fan film, awesome job! Great directing, effects and acting. well done indeed
My cat is named Aayla Secura. I loved this, thank you.
So amazingly done. Aayla Secura has always been one of my favorite jedi. Hope Disney sees this. She needs a mini series!!
🫥Yes!!! I agree!!!
Wonderful! This was an enjoyable addition to our Star Wars Universe, especially with how it ties canon and Legends continuity together. Plus, given the good production value, strong acting, and emotional storyline, this film has become one of my favorites, having expanded upon Aayla's story (much like how Darth Maul: Apprentice did for the Sith Lord ;)). I would love to see more^^
Thank you to everyone involved in making this amazing project! I feel very lucky indeed to be a Star Wars fan while having access to professional-level fanfiction 😀
Thank you so much for a wonderful comment! :) I will definitely do another one with Aayla. It's the story we wanna see too so we gotta tell it!
this is amazing what a masterpeice! I love how good the cosplay and cosmetics look! Also Aayla's Voice is on point
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great insight on the point that jedi lost their path being more soldier like instead of simply following the Force. As usual you're doing amazing job, keep it simple, keep it deep as you did it so far
Thank you very much :)
Awesome love it so much pls do one on what if order 66 failed
Awesome film and I love the topic. Thank you! She was my favorite character in the prequels by far. She had so much potential and I was sad to see her killed in order 66, such a waste. It would be nice to see her survive somehow in official canon. I could think of so many they could utilize her.
Gave me goosebumps when Aayla was feeling order 66! They should cast you for an Aayla series! Beautiful work ❤️
Thank you so much! haha If the series happen, I am down!
Awesome 👍
Very nice! Cool to see that side of the relationship with the clones!
This was amazing! Great work with all of this!! Hopefully there will be more content like this in the future!
Thank you Nick!! That's the goal! :) The more people see and share and want it, the sooner it will happen :)
Wow, that was amazing. When the first credits hit I was like "Interesting... that was good, but somewhat simple and to the point...." and then my jaw dropped. Really well done.
There’s a lot of Star Wars fan films out there. I have even been involved with one myself. Some are good, excellent and some are in a galaxy far, far away. Secura was a fantastic fan film. A great, great job well done to all those involved. May the force be with you.
I enjoyed this thoroughly. I liked the story and I'm impressed by the location (looks volcanic?), the filming, direction, acting...oh and the story. Yes it's not prefect but we're not talkiing major studio here. I think it's great we're getting these kind of stories. Fair play also to Disney for allowing these kind of stories
Thank you! Budget is the main hurdle in executing it as perfectly as we would like it. Time and CGI and technical limits are hard to overcome when you don't have all necessary resources to make a story as epic as we have it all in our minds :)
That was AWESOME. Great writing, great acting, great make-up and props. A true pleasure to watch!
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it!!
In battlefront 2 anytime I was given the option I would choose to play as Aayla, i love that character, this was really well done, and a cool take on "what could have happened instead".
Awesome short film. The special effects and costumes and dialog was perfect. Just like Star Wars is supposed to be!!! A++++
Thank you Rei, God has giving you a great gift of portraying these wonderful Star Wars characters like Aayla and Ahsoka. I know there has to be away to donate as long it does not make a profit. There has to be a way, let the FORCE GUIDE US ON THIS PATH!
Great video, I really enjoyed watching it. Nice work on the video editing , special effects and music!
Thank you!
Thanks for making this beautiful film. May the force be with you
Damn, that last take after the first credit really made this fan film Spark! and the music was so good! Well done, bravo!
OMG! 🤯 Awesome work, Secura team! 👏👏👏I just wish we could have seen more of Bly and Secura's relationship. Part 2?? ;)
Heck yes
Your accent is perfect for a twi’lek! You make a fantastic Aayla! Congratulations to you, the other actors, the filmmakers and the whole team on a great piece of work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I thought I'd keep my normal accent for Aayla rather than French, thanks for appreciating it :)
YES!!!!!
This is a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
Rei, you're a queen in both Twi'lek and Togruta in any character. Aayla is my favorite best girl.
Edit: The athletics in blocking those bolts is super gorgeous. Aayla living out order 66 would be fun.
It was chancellor not really emperor yet
She's a highly misunderstood and underrepresented character. This was a great way to show a part of her. Even if only a fan idea.
