In the final days of the Clone Wars, Jedi General Aayla Secura and her Clone Troopers,
led by Commander Bly, are sent to the remote Endor system to investigate a separtist outpost
there.
Once there however, Aayla Secura comes across an incredibly sarcastic B-1 Battle droid,
who she is forced to work with in order to slay a vicious beast.

I’ll also be dropping my massive prediction video for the Mandalorian Chapter 10 very
shortly, so make sure to stay tuned for that!
So the story begins on the distant, forest covered plains of Endor, where Jedi General
Aayla Secura and Commander Bly have just touched down below a lush tree line.
Commander Bly reports to his General that the separatiast outpost that they were sent
to scout out had already been deserted, but the forward scouting squad that was sent earlier
had not made contact in quite some time.
Following this, one of Secura’s men frantically calls his General over, asking her to take
a look at a pile of B-1 Battle droids which had been left nearby.
The trooper reports that there was a massive struggle between the battle droid forces and
the Clones, but there are no bodies left to to tell the tale, only the badly damaged armor
of the Clones and the shiny mechanical parts of the B-1 Battle droids.
Aayla Secura then lifts the helmet of one of her fallen men, wondering to herself, what
could have happened here.
After lingering on this thought for a few moments, Aayla Secura quickly asks Commander
Bly to fortify their current position, while she goes to scout out the perimeter of the
area.
Bly then quickly sends a comms message to his men, ordering them into formation two-six
and to make sure that above all, they watch out for traps.
Of course, Aayla Secura has already given her men a briefing on the unusual tactics
that the native Ewoks use in combat.
As Bly is preparing his men, Aayla Secura continues to move through the dense treelines
of Endor, slowly pacing forward with caution until she hears a suspicious click.
Behind her, a mysterious B-1 battle droid lurking ominously, with his blaster drawn.
In only moments, Secura grabs her lightsaber swiftly off of her belt, igniting its icy
blue blade, before clearly slicing the battle droid’s arms and legs off.
Aayla Secura then furiously demands that the droid tell her what happened and why so many
of her brave men had been killed.
The droid’s circuits go into a panic, but he says he can explain.
Unfortunately, before the worried B-1 Battle droid can begin telling his story, a nearby
Ewok emerges from the shadows and sends a thin white dart whistling through the air,
until it eventually striked Aayla in the neck, causing her to tumble to the ground, in a
haze.
Secura eventually does wake up from her temporary sleep, but as you can expect, she finds herself
surrounded by a large horde of Ewoks, with their spears drawn and very unhappy with the
Twi’Lek.
Surprisingly, Aayla Secura looks over her shoulder to see that the B-1 Battle has also
been captured and taken with her.
The B-1 unit then sarcastically asks the Twi’Lek, “you’re finally awake, Jedi?”, angering
Secura.
And as is tradition, let me know down below what you think this B-1 Battle droid should
be named after you finish the story, since he never receives one.
Following this, the B-1 unit continues his sarcasm, saying “Hey, I’m not your personal
protocol droid… but I think they're going to eat you.”
“I hope they do!”.
This again sends Aayla Secura into a rage, leading her to shout at the droid, demanding
that he be quiet.
Immediately after this, the Ewoks began chanting in a ritual, further annoying Aayla Secura.
Unfortunately, the Ewoks then pull out a Clone Trooper helmet mounted atop a stake, deeply
angering and disgusting the Twi’Lek Jedi, leading her ragefully to ask if the Ewoks
attacked her men.
With the Ewoks refusing to answer Secura’s questions, the B-1 Battle droid then quickly
chimes in saying “I would have told you what happened… but I was told to be quiet”,
in a very sarcastic tone.
Secura is once again annoyed by the droid, demanding that he tell what is going on.
The B-1 unit finally stops with his sarcasm, telling Aayla of a giant beast who attacked
out of nowhere, killing both her Clone Troopers and his droid forces.
The Battle goes on to tell her that the vicious beast is named the Beast In the Mouth of the
Mountain, and that the Ewoks believe Aayla Secura is a forest spirit because of her blue
skin.
The droid continues, telling Aayla Secura that because they captured her, under Ewok
Tradition, any captured forest spirit must help them to destroy the beast.
The Twi’Lek then quickly asks the droid, “but I thought you said they wanted to eat
me”.
The droid jokingly responds, saying “wishful thinking”, leading Aayla Secura to roll
her eyes and wonder how she became stuck with a battle droid that had a sense of humour.
Secura then attaches the B-1 unit to her back, scaring the tiny battle droid horribly as
he is programmed to strongly hate Jedi generals.
The two then march alongside the Ewoks, through the damp soil of Endor, with the Battle droid
continuing to troll Aayla Secura by making sarcastic comments.
The two eventually reach a steep, grey mountain, before the B-1 unit chimes in, saying “up
the cliff!”, Aayla for the hundredth time rolls her eyes at the unit and is still in
disbelief at how she got stuck in this situation.
The Battle droid then excitedly tells the Twi’Lek “Good luck!”, hoping to see
her fail in the journey and fall, but Aayla excitedly responds “Oh no, you’re coming
with me!”.
The shiny clankah is terrified at traversing such heights, demanding to know why he has
come along with Secura.
Eventually, The Jedi begins the harsh climb up the cliff, but once again the Battle droid
can’t keep his audio circuits off, demanding to know why the Ewoks aren’t joining them.
The droid again quickly shouts “if your troopers and my droids couldn’t stop it,
what makes you think you can?”.
Secura then responds, telling him that this is the way of a Jedi, to help those in need,
no matter how difficult.
The B-1 unit then says “but, they’re just clones”, relating them to how he is just
a simple battle droid who isn’t cared for and is just used as clone bait.
Secura of course responds to this, telling the B-1 “they’re warriors and they’re
men”.
Once they arrive at the entrance to the dark and creepy cavern, the B-1 unit again has
to chime in telling her “that took long enough -- your jedi skills aren’t very impressive”.
Aayla Secura remembers her Jedi training, remaining carms, as she ignites her luminous
blue lightsaber to light the way through the cavern.
As the pair move deeper inside of the dark cave, Aayla Secura accidentally steps on a
loose rook, rapidly losing her footing, sending her tumbling down the rockface, in near darkness.
This prompts the B-1 unit to ask “Do you have any Jedi skills whatsoever?”.
She is of course not impressed at all, but must push on.
The team of two then eventually come across a field of bones and skeletons, leading Mister
B-1 to sarcastically remark “well, at least now we know what became of your troopers”.
Aayla is not happy with this disrespect of her men, but she of course has no time to
dwell on it, as a loud clik-clack rings out from the darkness nearby, with the humongous
beast finally revealing itself.
Fear then flows through the circuits of the B-1 Battle droid, as he begs Aayla Secura
to leave the area, with the ferocious beast on the horizon.
The Twi’Lek Jedi of course doesn’t listen, but the massive beast steps closer to the
two, being only inches away from brutally crushing the B-1 unit to his death, before
Aayla leaps through the air to pull him to safety.
Unfortunately, moments after this, the B-1 unit is swiped out of Aayla Secura’s hands,
brutally crushing him to pieces, ending his short lived life.
A surprisingly tragic end for such a witty and sarcastic droid.
Aayla Secura then continues, leaping through the air, flipping and gliding with the force,
until she is eventually able to defeat the horrid beast by dropping a huge amount of
stalactites from the ceiling above, pincering the creature to death.
After she manages to defeat the beast, Aaya looks over at the droid, and is actually very
upset that he didn’t make it.
She mourns the death of the droid for a short while, before eventually escaping the dark
lair, back to her men at the basecamp.
When she arrives back, Bly is worried to death because he and his man had been trying to
contact Secura, but were unable to get a signal.
In sadness, Aayla reports that the entire recon squad have perished, along with all
of the droids they fought against.
Secura then goes on to say that they absolutely must find out why the separatists are building
these tiny outposts in remote systems of the outer rim, before concluding that she will
discuss it with Master Yoda after the 327th have returned from Felucia.
This of course is incredibly tragic, as we know from Revenge of the Sith that she will
never make it home from Felucia, and will be gunned down by the same man that she is
facing at this very moment.
Moments after, General Secura Orders Bly to gather his men and load them into the troop
transports, as they have no more time to waste on Endor.
And to end the story, we see that the Ewoks have claimed the head of the B-1 battle droid
as part of their spiritual tradition, and have even enshrined him as a god like figure
into a painting on the wall, believing that he was the one who defeated the vicious beast.
So that is the story of the B-1 Battle droid who trolled Aayla Secura.
Thanks so much for watching, remember to leave a like if you enjoyed.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
