Aayla Secura Respect Thread

Jedi Master Aayla Secura: Not one of the greatest, most skilled or most powerful Jedi of her time. However, those who underestimate her have a painful lesson on the difference between Slave dancers and Jedi Masters coming. There's a reason Secura is one of the few original Legends characters to appear in the films after all.
1. Quinlan Vos Round 1

The first time we see Secura in a proper Lightsaber battle is against her own master on Kiffex. In the thrall of powerful Dark Jedi Volfe Karkko, a thirsty-for-blood Secura engages Quinlan Vos twice: The first time she manages to overwhelm him, although after she took him by complete surprise. In there rematch not long after Vos fights dead even with Secura, even while restraining from lethal force. Although I don't believe these feats are quite applicable (Secura normally isn't a crazed Dark Sider after all) but there still worth noting.
2. Bok

Although Secura has faced off with this particular Morgukai assassin no less than three separate times, I have decided to address all of them at once. In there first duel, Secura and Bok fought evenly, even while Bok's father fired shots at the Jedi. Soon after, in there second duel, Secura literally disarmed Bok in single combat. The first and last time Secura fought Bok as anything but an Apprentice was during the battle of Saleucami where, despite her Lightsaber being disabled, she proved to be the superior martial artist, outmaneuvering him and fatally Force pushing him into an energy field. Incidentally, these fights prove Secura's prowess against staff wielders and in unarmed combat.
3. Grievous

Yes, Grievous completely tore through the Jedi on Hypori. However, as we all know by know, the Jedi were at an extreme disadvantage for this fight. Completely exhausted and with no prior knowledge of there foe they were clearly outmatched from the start. That being said, Secura did handle herself well in the martial part of the battle (She was taken out by a physical strike) and was one of only four survivors. Considering two of the others were Masters on the High Council and the third was K'kruhk, this is impressive on some level at least. Especially since she was still only a Jedi Knight at this point.
4. Ventress

Alongside fellow Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, Secura faced off against infamous Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress on a mission to Alzoc III. Although the pair of Jedi emerged victorious, it has to be admitted that it is unknown how much of a part Secura played in this victory. It doesn't help that Luminara working with Ahsoka Tano were at the very least capable of driving Ventress back, meaning that this doesn't prove anything but Secura being above your average Jedi Knight, which is something we already knew. In my view, neither Luminara or Secura are capable of defeating Ventress by themselves. However, that's just personal opinion.
5. Shon-Ju

In the first year of the Clone Wars, Secura encountered the Ex-Jedi extremist Shon-Ju. Although he had forsaken the use of a Lightsaber, Shon-Ju was still an accomplished martial artist and lethal combatant, with both the Force and his bare hands. Although Secura was hardly in top shape when they fought (Already being wounded) I should still point out that Shon-Ju dominated there fight, at least until Secura regained her Lightsaber.
6. Aurra Sing

In my view, this is probably Secura's most impressive martial achievement. Aurra Sing was basically Grievous before the cyborg general appeared on the scene. A feared bounty hunter and infamous Jedi hunter, Sing has slain Master and Knights alike and held her own against the likes of Qui-gon Jinn and both Jedi of the Hett clan (Dueling prowess comes with being trained by the Dark Woman after all). However, Sing met her match in Secura, who out fought her in every sense of the word. It may not have been an easy victory, but it WAS undoubtedly a victory.
7. Quinlan Vos Round 2

The most interesting part of this fight is the almost complete turn around from the earlier fight between Master and Apprentice. This time around, Secura is the reluctant Jedi fighting an unbalanced Dark Sider with no intent of using lethal force. Although Secura was defeated, it was when Voss resorted to use of the Force. As the duelists, the two fought dead even.
8. Darth Maul

Strangely, Secura's final feat is probably the most dubious in quality. Alongside Mace Windu, Master Secura confronted former Sith Lord Darth Maul aboard an asteroid station. Despite wielding nothing more than the Darksaber, Maul held his own against the Jedi long enough for one of his Death Watch followers to end the fight with a well placed missile. I guess Maul did manage to contend with Sidious, but still, this isn't either Jedi's proudest moments.
9. Style & Forms

Like her master before her, Aayla Secura was primarily a master of Form four, Ataru. However, she is also described as a practitioner of the Dejem So variant of the fifth form of Lightsaber combat. It should also be mentioned that two separate sources have depicted Secura as wielding a second, green bladed Lightsaber. However, although she has dueled staff and dual wielders, she herself has never used this tactic outside of battlefield engagements and training matches.

Well, hope you all enjoyed this. Thanks for reading and see you next time!
