Who is Aurra Sing?

[Martini]

I just dont know where she is as a bounty hunter in TPM.

[mattypo]

she is present in tpm during the pod race, at one of the first corners overlooking the race

[YODAgreatest]

Prior to AOTC, I thought she might be Boba Fett's mother. *In EPIII I think she may aid Tyrannus like Jango did in EPII. *I think that would be a good pairing since she is a bounty hunter w/ Jedi powers and Tyrannus is a fallen Jedi.

[RollaFett]

Jedi powers? I didn't know that. In any case, considering all of the hoopla surrounding her 2 second scene in TPM, I would expect to see more of her at some point. I thought AOTC, but to no avail.

[Brian]

Yeah, according to the official SW website, http://www.starwars.com/databank/character...sing/index.html (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/aurrasing/index.html), she used to be a Jedi.

BTW, is she one of the "Lost 20" and who are the "Lost 20" if anyone knows. *Dooku is of course one of them. *So Dooku and Aurra Sing. *Who are the other 18? *Oops, this might be opening up a can of worms in the wrong thread.

Hey O-B-GATES, it might help with your link to Aurra Sing, to get rid of the comma after it. It takes everybody to :

[Shoma Barad]

I don't think we'll be seeing Aurra Sing again. I don't even Know why Lucas dropped her into TPM... it seems to me like he wanted a prequel Boba Fett- a character who has almost no screen time, that the fans adore.

Of course, Boba Fett actually DID something.

Aurra didn't. lol

Put her in, leave her out, I don't care. Just don't give her lines that could be given to Bail Organa or Jar Jar. I demand more of those two in EIII!!!!!!!!

~~Shoma

[Aurra Sing]

I was sad to see that she didn't appear at all in II. She is more of a comic book character I guess...she still rocks my face off. lol..sorry

[dexterlennon]

i've been thinking about the topics on these boards for a couple of days now...after combining a few of these topics, i came up with a scenario where aurra sing could be involved in episode iii. somebody posted in elsewhere in the episode iii forum that sidius brings together a "sith counsil" or something to that effect.
while this would violate the "two sith" rule, please follow my logic. it may not be a "sith" counsil, but rather a former jedi counsil. these people would be jointly in charge of helping to eliminate the jedi from the universe. it's possible that aurra sing could be on this counsil, along with dooku and sidius...

[dexterlennon]

an alternative scenario is that she has been keeping an eye on anakin, reporting back to palpatine/sidious occasionally. she was at least watching the pod races in TPM, maybe or maybe not anakin. her purpose of being at the pod races could consievably be reporting back to sidious and saying somehting along the lines of, "the force is strong with this one." if it turns out that dooku or sidious is anakins "father" whether through intercourse of midichlorian immaculate conception, aurra sing could have been watching, making sure the right situations occurred...these are just some thoughts that would bring purpose to aurra sing even being in TPM at all...

[Aurra Sing]

Could be. Meditate on this, I will. ::biggrin::

[DblDwn]

It would make no sense for Lucas to include Aurra Sing in a quick two second shot, that most people miss the first time anyway. I think that she will come into play during Episode III in some way. I like the idea of the 'Sith Council'. For those of you who haven't seen elsewhere, I believe that Sifo-Dyas, not Palpatine, is Sidious. This Sith Council would make sense in my theory because since Sifo-Dyas was once a member of the Jedi Council, he would invoke the same into his Sith Regime. As far as the "always two, no more, no less" way of thinking, after Darth Maul was disposed of in TPM, Sidious would become a follower of the 'more is better' way of thinking. Why have one apprentice, when he could have an entire council to do his bidding?
As far as what purpose in the movie Aurra Sing would have, I do not know. It would make sense that she assists in the purge of the Jedi, until she meets her demise of course. Who would kill her though? Has anyone considered that she is the Sith killed in the dark cave on Dagobah? Maybe I'm reaching here, but being as that the movie doesn't even begin filming for another year.........we are all reaching at this point.

[Darth Jesus]

I fully agree with what DD just said regarding the true nature of the Sifo/Siddy/Palpy triangle, and about the Sith Council (in fact, I've said pretty much the same thing on another thread -- glad to see that I'm not alone on that). And we'll definitely see Aurra Sing in Ep. III -- she's a former Jedi Padawan totally devoted to killing Jedi!! You think Siddy/Sifo wouldn't use her in his plan to wipe out the Jedi?

[DarthKueller]

I doubt we see Aurra Sing in Ep III, but if by chance we do she will be killed by the end of the movie by one of the Jedi Knights or do not be surprised if she is betrayed by the Sith and murdered. When the dust clears Sidious and Vader are the only two Sith out there. They have no reason to keep someone like Sing around after she does her job and they won't!

[Martini]

Hmmmm, maybe Aurra Sing is the new Sith or bad guy in the next star wars?!

I think she could be, but its just not worth introducing a new character. But i disagree with DarthKueller cause both Sidious and Vader wouldnt kill her, think about it, they didnt kil Boba Fett

[Jedi Knight Buhda Cho]

Greetings,

Question: *
Is Aurra Sing standing to Palpatine's left when he accepts his emerggency powers in the Senate?

Pale, bald, female type in a light blue-ish outfit.

Responses please.

Later,

[Brian]

Folks, if there is going to be a Sith Council, it will have to be created AND disbanded in Ep III. *That just doesn't make sense. *A Sith Council is not going to happen.

Also, Aurra Sing is so insignificant in the SW movies that she only had a 2 second cameo. *Let her remain in EU where she belongs (she will be a lot 'cooler' there). *Her character will never get developed enough to have a significant effect in the movies.

[Tyranus]

<span style="color:red">Hmm I wish I knew more, I heard she was trained by a Dark Jedi Woman, and she became one herself. She was skilled, and killed Jedi's. She kept there lightsabers to show off her skills, and her potential. That's all I know.</span>

[Red Leader]

It's fact that Lucas purposely had Aurra Sing placed in the podrace scene from TPM late in post-production. *Lucas is high on foreshadowing, and since she didn't show up in Ep. II, she'll have to have a role in Ep. III. *I have my opinions on what that specific role will be, but I'll save them for now. *Point is, she'll be there.

It's also fact that Sing is an ex-Jedi. *As of right now we know of only 2 ex-Jedi's specifically, Dooku and Sing. *We've learned of another mysterious Jedi, Syfo-Dious. *I know there's a lot of speculation about S-D, and I'm not sure how much I buy into this thought, but what are some thoughts that Sing is this Syfo-Dious? *We know it's not Dooku for sure, and this would leave only Sing from the people we know about. *It also fits with Lucas always revealing a new identity for someone we've already been introduced to.

Question:

Pale, bald, female type in a light blue-ish outfit.

Answer: No, the woman in Palpy's orifice is Sly Moore, a mind control specialist. Notice she is replaced by the protocol specialist when he talks to seanators.

DID PADME MAKE ANAKIN TURN?
Find out at SithWitch.com (http://sithwitch.com)

[Jedi Luke]

Somebody mentioned about wanting to know about the Lost 20. As far as I know, the Lost 20 are the only 20 Jedi to have ever left the Jedi Council. I think that Dooku must have been the last. Or maybe Sifa Dious was the last? Not sure.

[Lonesabre]

Maybe Aurra Sing is this mysterious Sith Witch we've heard about??

Dont bye that she is Syfo-Dias at all.

More likely he will turn out to be:-

a- Sideous, Palpy will turn out to be a clone of Sideous that is replaced by him when Palpy becomes Emperor.

b- Tyrannus, working for Sideous.

c- Qui-Gon, my favourite, working as a double agent for
Dooku, he was his Padawan after all.

I also agree that if there was a Sith Council, they would have to be formed and dispanded all in one film. Which is unlikely. There would be some reference to it in the OT anyway. Like the Lost 20 idea though.

:whatsthat:

[Martini]

alright this is one of the BEST IDEAS ive had for showing how anakin/vader can be shown as the greateset of all jedis................ In EPISODE III, maybe we'll see Sidious calling for a secret sith counsil and it will consist of him, dooku/tyrannus and the other 19 lost twenty jedis (included aurra sing who are dying to see her in action). Then when anakin goes there to get revenge on dooku for his lost arm, he has to fight all 19 former jedis. then sidious makes him kill dooku so he can take his side as darth vader.

any thoughts? i like it. i think it would be a HUGE action scene and show anakin at his best. then i guess after that, he fights obi-wan, gets hurt, puts on the suit, really becomes vader and kills mace along with those other jedis we always see, and hopefully see him fight obi-wan one more time.

i feel that we need to see these two fight twice in the next movie. first fight over the lava and the second one anywhere between obi-wan and vader in full suit.

[Red Leader]

My thoughts on Aurra Sing's role in Ep. 3, because she will be there. She'll be a part of the Jedi purge as a bounty hunter. She's an ex-Jedi, so who else has the power or skills to kill a Jedi. I'm not saying she'll take out the big guns like Mace, but she'll take it to other Jedi's since we really know nothing about her or her force abilities, so Lucas can make her as powerful as he wants really.

As far as her appearance in TPM, I think she's not so much working for Palpatine and following Anakin, but rather works for Jabba as a bounty hunter. She's simply overseeing the whole podrace for Jabba, who as we know is the big guy at the race. She's like a badass security guard, since she is an ex-Jedi.

Secondly, she'll take Boba under her wing and teach him the skills of the trade of being a bounty hunter. That's how Boba ends up on Tatooine working for Jabba in the OT. One of her tricks for killing the Jedi will be disintegration, which Boba will embrace wholeheartedly (but of which we won't see him do since he'll still be a young pup at the time). This plays in with Vader's dialogue with Fett in ESB, and also maybe explain those peculiar braids on Boba's right shoulder, since he learns how to take out Jedi or at least padawans. This may also explain Jabba's familiarity with Jedi's on a nothing planet like Tatooine and his line about killing Jedi to Luke in ROTJ.

[DblDwn]

Red Leader..........great foresight into things to come. That is one of the few statements I've read on here I can see coming true (other than my own of course).

Interesting. Who is the protocol specialist?

I'm a big fan of this character and I thought that she would have fit perfectly into the theme of RotS.

For awhile, I really thought that she was going to be in it.

<span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%">Aurra Sing</span>
Star Wars character

<span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%">Aurra Sing </span>
Homeworld: Nar Shaddaa
Species: Unknown
Gender: Female
Height: 1.74 meters
Weapon: Red-bladed lightsaber, projectile rifle, blasters
Vehicle: Modified Swoop
Affiliation: Former Jedi, Bounty Hunter(mercenary)
Film portrayer: Michonne Bourriague

Aurra Sing made a brief appearance in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace during the Podrace scene. She is portrayed with a mostly bald head surmounted by a sensor implant, a tracker utility vest over orange-red body paint, and heavy leather boots for desert travel. The character, or at least the appearance of model Michonne Bourriague, was so popular with fans that the character was expanded into the Star Wars comics.

The character was first conceived in a sketch labeled "Babe Fett," by Lucasfilm's Doug Chiang. After that, she appeared in many of the books including the Boba Fett series. She is a ruthless bounty hunter, one of the best. Not much is known about her. She trained to be a Jedi but she never finished her training because she was kidnapped by slavers on a mission with her Master, the Dark Woman, who never looked for her. Feeling abandoned by the Jedi, Aurra Sing escaped and, after learning a wide array of fighting techniques from various groups, fell to the dark side and became the self-proclaimed "bane of the Jedi." As part of her hatred towards the Jedi, she kills a lot of Jedi for sport and collects their lightsabers as trophies. During the Clone Wars, she was finally defeated and captured by Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, but she escaped from imprisonment on the asteroid of Oovo IV a few months later. Aurra Sing was last seen participating in vehicular demolition tournaments at the palace of Jabba the Hutt during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Once one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy, Aurra Sing faded into obscurity on a backwater desert world, facing a galaxy now utterly bereft of the Jedi she had spent almost her whole life hating.

Events such as the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace attract beings from all reaches of the Outer Rim Territories. Drawn by the prospect of winning a fortune by gambling on the outcome of the race, even wanted criminals surface from the shadows. Following them are bounty hunters such as Aurra Sing, who keep a close eye on the proceedings.
Aurra Sing is a laconic humanoid alien with chalk-white skin and long, bloodletting fingers. Surgically attached to her skull is a long, thin sensor implant that aids her in her hunts. Sing is clad in a functional red jumpsuit and wears little armor.

Pain, death and vengeance have been constants in Aurra Sing's life. Had she benefited from a better upbringing, perhaps she may have grown to be one of the greatest of the Jedi order. Instead, she became one its deadliest scourges.
As with all Jedi hopefuls, Aurra's Force-potential was discovered when she was an infant. Being raised on the mean streets of Nar Shaddaa's vertical cities, Aurra's species is unknown, and her mother was a spice-addled reprobate named Aunuanna. The mysterious Jedi known as the Dark Woman took custody of Aurra, spiriting her away to Coruscant to begin her initiation into the Jedi way, taking her far from the dark decay of the Smuggler's Moon.

Aurra was a difficult, headstrong student. She displayed a cunning instinct and deadly reflexes, but lacked the control needed to fully master the Force. The Jedi Council hoped that the Dark Woman could tame Aurra's aggressive instincts. Some of her fellow students even branded Aurra with the nickname "Nashtah," after the deadly six-legged Dravian hound.

Aurra and the Dark Woman never established the bond that the Council had hoped for. While on a trip to Ord Namurt, Aurra was kidnapped by star pirates, who fed her lies regarding the Jedi. The lies played well to Aurra's natural fears of abandonment and betrayal. At the tender age of nine, she turned her back on the Jedi order, not even having achieved the rank of a Padawan learner.

The life of a pirate agreed with Sing, as she was able to focus her aggression. She learned martial and hunting skills while living on the fringe. Ill fortune caught up with Sing when a Hutt crime lord took her captive. Wanting her turned into a deadly assassin, the Hutt apprenticed Sing to a group of vampiric Anzati. Aurra underwent a transformation, stripping away any vestiges of compassion she had left. She emerged from her training a deadly, remorseless killer, seeking revenge for all who had wronged her in the past. The Anzati even affixed her with a Rhen-Orm biocomputer sensor implant, which not only increased her situational awareness, but also transmitted a simulated sensation of the fear the Anzati preyed upon.

Aurra became an independent bounty hunter specializing in Jedi hunts. She collected at least six lightsabers from her fallen foes as grim trophies, and brandished her own scarlet-bladed Jedi weapon. She armed herself with twin blaster pistols and a long projectile rifle. For her primary surface conveyance, Sing relied upon an outdated but highly modified swoop.

Aurra continued to kill Jedi as the Republic began to decay and crumble around her. A'Sharad Hett, Peerce and J'Mikel were but three of the Jedi she murdered. She had longed to track down the Dark Woman and exact vengeance for what she viewed as betrayal. Sing had her chance during the Clone Wars.

With her loyalties determined by her own vendettas and the highest bidder, Aurra Sing found easy employ in the chaos of the Clone Wars. She worked for Count Dooku, seeking the young Boba Fett for information the clone child possessed. When she learned that young Fett was heir to a fortune, she disregarded the original bounty mission, and tried to get Jango Fett's treasure for herself. She took the boy to Aargau, home of the riches, where young Boba was able to escape from Aurra in the labyrinthine interior of the banking planet.

When Aurra was hired to assassinate a Senator on Devaron, a team of Jedi was sent to investigate. Among them, the Dark Woman. Aurra sprang a trap on her former master, pinning the Dark Woman and the Jedi Master Tholme in a cave explosion. The remaining Jedi, Aayla Secura, tracked down Aurra and confronted her. What followed was a fierce duel between the two women. The fight was nearly a draw, until Aayla goaded Aurra, piercing through her icy façade to describe the wounded, lonely, abandoned child within. Aurra attacked ferociously, but Aayla bested her.

True to her Jedi heritage, Aayla did not needlessly take Aurra's life. She instead scarred her with her blade, and severed the Rhen-Orm biocomputer antenna. Stunned, Aurra was easily taken into custody, and sent to the prisons of Oovo IV.

History is vague as to the Sing's fate, as the growing galactic strife eclipsed her from public notice. Aurra Sing disappeared for years. Some report that she resurfaced during the Galactic Civil War as a combatant in Jabba the Hutt's demolition contests.
