Amy Allen (born October 24, 1976) is an American actress and film crew member who portrayed the character Aayla Secura in Star Wars films released in 2002 and 2005. She worked behind the scenes on many different movies, including A.I. Artificial Intelligence, before she acted in Star Wars.
Next to playing Aayla Secura, Amy Allen appears in three different guises during the Outlander Club sequence in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002). She was filmed during principal photography standing near the video screens in one outfit, and digitally cloned by ILM to appear in two different places at the same time. These 'two' characters were later identified as twins Mya and Yma Nalle. During pickup shots she appeared behind Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as they discuss the changeling, wearing a hat and thick braids. This patron was later named Lela Mayn.
Was an employee at Lucasfilm when she was selected to play Aayla Secura, the female Twi'Lek Jedi from the Dark Horse Comic books. Reportedly, George Lucas saw the character on the cover of a comic and was so impressed he wanted to add her digitally into Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002).
