Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the 75182 Republic Fighter Tank set during a period when LEGO was revisiting Prequel Era and Clone Wars designs with modern printing techniques.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - Though only available in one mass-produced set, that set was retired years ago. Her demand is high because she is a named Jedi Master and this is widely considered the superior version of the character compared to the 2010 original.
Head
Medium Azure tone with double-sided printing: one side determined/angry and the other neutral. Features a unique Twi'lek headpiece (lekku) in Medium Azure with brown flight cap printing and black stripe patterns.
Torso
Medium Azure skin tone with a Dark Brown tube-top design and a single tan strap. Features detailed muscle definition and back printing. The arms are Medium Azure to match her skin tone with Blue hands.
Legs
Dark Brown legs and hips with subtle silver/grey printing on the belt area representing Jedi utility pouches and fabric folds.
Accessories
The official figure included a Blue Lightsaber with a metallic silver hilt. The figure in the image is missing the lightsaber.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Medium Azure (skin), with Dark Brown serving as the primary garment color. This matches her appearance in 'Star Wars: Episode III' and 'The Clone Wars' series.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The lekku (head tails) feature intricate wrap-around stripe prints. The torso has sharp lines for the clothing and subtle shading for physical details. No leg printing on the lower shins.
Variants
There is one main predecessor: sw0284 (2010), which featured 'Clone Wars' stylized eyes and much simpler printing. The sw0833 (pictured) is the 'realistic' updated version.
Condition Notes
The lekku headpiece is made of a slightly softer plastic/rubber material which can attract dust or suffer from 'tackiness' if stored poorly. Check for torso cracks under the arms and neck wear. The Medium Azure color is generally stable but can yellow if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Used: $25.00 - $35.00 USD; New/Mint: $40.00 - $55.00 USD. Value is heavily dictated by the condition of the headpiece stripes.
Price (New)
The set she appeared in (75182) retailed for $24.99 USD in 2017. The figure alone now exceeds the original price of the entire set.
Compatible Sets
75182 Republic Fighter Tank (2017).
Character Background
Aayla Secura is a Rutian Twi'lek Jedi Master who served as a General during the Clone Wars. Known for her dual-lightsaber mastery (though LEGO usually gives her one) and her tragic end during Order 66 on Felucia.
Design Notes
The molded lekku piece is a specialized part. This 2017 version moved away from the 'bug-eyed' Clone Wars aesthetic to the standard LEGO eyes, making it more compatible with modern Star Wars collections.
Similar Minifigures
sw0284 Aayla Secura (Original), sw0469 Stass Allie, sw0174 Shaak Ti, and other Twi'lek figures like Hera Syndulla (sw0576).
Collectibility
High. Named Jedi characters from the Prequel Era are consistently popular. She is a 'must-have' for fans building a Jedi Council or a 327th Star Corps MOC.
History
First debuted in 2010. This 2017 version marked a significant jump in printing detail and color accuracy, specifically the shift to the Medium Azure skin tone.
Interesting Facts
The character in the films was originally portrayed by Amy Allen, an ILM employee. This specific LEGO version is often used by fans to recreate the Felucia ambush scene due to its realistic face print.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Clone Troopers (specifically the 327th Star Corps) or other Jedi Masters. Use a clear stand to highlight her lekku and avoid pressing them against a back wall to prevent warping.
Modification Potential
Highly suitable for 'Order 66' dioramas. The head and lekku are frequently used by customizers to create other Twi'lek characters like mission Vao from KOTOR.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the 2017 Star Wars line. Excellent color accuracy and character representation. Rating: 9/10 for Star Wars collectors.
