Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited convention exclusive, she appeared in only one mid-priced set and remains a highly sought-after Jedi character.
Head
Medium Azure tone; features a unique lekku (head-tails) headgear piece in Medium Azure with dark brown straps. The face has double-sided printing with a neutral expression and a slightly angry/focused expression.
Torso
Medium Azure with dark brown tube-top style printing. Features skin-texture detailing and dark brown arm on the left, azure on the right to represent her asymmetrical Jedi outfit.
Legs
Dark brown legs with hip printing. Includes detailed loincloth and belt printing in a lighter brown/tan shade to match her Clone Wars appearance.
Accessories
Standard accessories include a blue lightsaber with a metallic silver hilt. Note: Accessories are missing from the provided image.
Color Scheme
Mainly Medium Azure and Dark Brown. This reflects the character's Twi'lek heritage and her specific combat gear seen in the animated series.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso captures the midriff detail well, and the lekku piece features intricate strap printing that aligns with the head mold.
Variants
This is the second version of Aayla Secura. The first (sw0284) was released in 2010 and featured 'Clone Wars' style eyes; this 2017 version has more realistic standard eyes.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the printing on the lekku straps which can rub off, and cracks in the medium azure torso/arms. The lekku piece is rubberized and can attract dust.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $30 - $45 USD. New/Mint: $50 - $65 USD. The figure in the image is missing its lightsaber, putting it at the lower end ($25-$30).

Character Background
Aayla Secura is a Rutian Twi'lek Jedi Master. She fought in the Clone Wars and was known for her mastery of Form IV and Form V lightsaber combat before her death during Order 66.
Design Notes
The move from the 'bug-eyed' Clone Wars aesthetic of the 2010 version to the standard LEGO face in this 2017 version was highly praised by collectors.
Similar Minifigures
Luminara Unduli (sw0745), Shaak Ti (sw0309), Ahsoka Tano (sw0759), and the original Aayla Secura (sw0284).
Collectibility
High. Jedi Council members are staple collectables, and her striking blue color makes her a standout in any Star Wars display unit.
History
Initially released during the LEGO Star Wars 'transition' years where character designs moved away from specific animated styles toward a unified 'realistic' LEGO look.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a major Jedi character, she has only ever appeared in two LEGO sets across 25 years of the Star Wars theme.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Jedi Council members or with a 501st/327th Legion Clone Trooper battalion. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the Medium Azure from fading.
Modification Potential
The lekku piece is highly prized for custom Twi'lek MOCs. The torso is also popular for custom 'tanks' or gladiator-style minifigures.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, high-quality minifigure that accurately captures the character's aesthetic. A 'must-have' for Star Wars collectors, though prices are steadily rising due to her single-set availability.
