Almost as mysterious as the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett, Aurra Sing is gaining popularity with her brief (three second) appearance in The Phantom Menace. Aurra Sing is shrouded in mystery, her species, backround, and age remain unknown.
However, from what I have researched, her past goes somewhat like this. She trained to be a Jedi under her master (or mistress, I guess) The Dark Woman. Supposedly, this name reflects the fact that many of her apprentices have turned to the Dark Side. Aurra Sing left her training and became a bounty huntress. She is known to hunt Jedi and then collect their lightsabers. So far, she has six lightsabers, which probably means she has succeeded in killing six Jedi. This is all I know so far, and mainly what is known of her.
Aurra Sing's species is unknown. She has greyish white skin and is taller and skinnier than many humans. To see pictures of her, you can go to AurraSing.net. She carries a long range rifle, which is as tall as she is, and carries two pistols in her belt that wraps around her hips in an almost western style. She sometimes carries a lightsaber at her hip.
One more thing to add. As of June 30, 2000, it is mostly a common fact among fans that Aurra Sing will be in Episode 2. It hasn't been confirmed by the official site yet, but it is mostly believed that she will be played by Leeanna Walsman, who was cast as a "skilled bounty hunter." |
