Titolo: Aurra Sing

http://www.aurrasing.net/aurrasing/aurrasing.html
Aurra Sing first appeared in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. She was onscreen
for roughly 3 seconds watching the pod race from the cliffs. Supposedly,
Lucas added her to the movie late in post-production.
Who is Aurra Sing?
 Aurra Sing was a Jedi hopeful that trained under the Jedi Master known
simply as "The Dark Woman." During the height of her training, she left the
guidance of The Dark Woman and began a career as a bounty hunter whose
favorite prey is Jedi. She collects the lightsabers of the Jedi she kills.
 No one knows (yet) why Aurra turned to the Dark Side or why she hates Jedi
so much. She has killed at least 6 Jedi (she has 6 lightsabers), two of
which are Sharad Hett and Reess Kairn.
What was Aurra Sing doing at the pod races on Tatooine?
Aurra is no stranger to Tatooine. In the comic Star Wars #7, she is on
Tatooine hunting the rogue Jedi, Sharad Hett. In the Aurra Sing one-shot
comic she travels to Tatooine to hunt Reess Kairn, a Twi'lek pirate Jedi. In
the same comic, she comments that she has been to Tatooine many times and
doesn't like it very much. Aurra's appearance at the pod races could be part
of either of these comic arcs.
It's quite possible that she was watching Anakin. We know (from the comics)
that she is sensitive to the Force and if Anakin is really strong in the
Force, it's conceivable that she could sense him. If that's true, did she
also sense Kenobi, Jinn or Maul's presence on Tatooine?
More recent theories speculate that Aurra was on Tatooine in Episode I
tracking Anakin Skywalker, hired by Palpatine/Darth Sidious.
None of these theories can be proven - nor can they be disproven. Only time
will tell which one is fact. Although she is only seen for mere seconds in
the film, it is a very significant appearance for those of you who believe
that only the SW movies are canon and the comic books are a separate entity
from the films.
Who played Aurra Sing in Episode I?
A model/actress, Michonne Bourriague.
What's up with her appearance?
Pale Skin: What can we say? She has pale skin. See the Nagai question below.
Hair: Not sure if she's bald by choice or because of her species. The beads
in her pony tail are prayer beads. She is also seen wearing a necklace
similar to the beads. We're not sure what religion they belong to.
Fingers: They're long, pointy and sharp. The Star Wars Episode I: Visual
Dictionary says they are used for drawing blood, but we've found out that
the Star Wars Episode I: Visual Dictionary people added that tidbit
themselves.
Body Suit: The Star Wars Episode I: Visual Dictionary says this is body
paint. Sure looks like a spandex body suit to us.
Lightsaber: Sometimes she's seen with a lightsaber hanging at the hip. In
the one-shot comic it has a red blade. The bad guys always have a red blade.
Guns: She has gunbelts that cross at the hips, very similar to an American
Western gunfighter. Her long-range rifle was hand-made for her and is good
up to 1000 meters. The rifle is most likely not a blaster, but an old school
bullet/projectile weapon.
Antenna: It sticks out of her head and is connected to a Rhen-Orm
Biocomputer. We specualate that this biocomputer gathers information about
the environment and sends it to her brain (see the one-shot, when she's on
Hoth).
What can we expect from Aurra in Episode II?
First, and most importantly, there has been no official word about Aurra's
presence in Episodes II or III. The fact that she was added to Episode I
late in post-production is a good indicator that we'll see more. Also, an
informer told us she'll be in Episode II and us Aurra fans will "have fun as
the character develops". Take it for what it's worth...
We know many of you are very careful about possible spoilers you may come
across on SW related sites. We are careful not to tell you something that
might be in Episode II so you will need to highlight the following rumor
posted on Episode X. It sounds like a reasonable possibility for the Episode
II storyline involving Aurra Sing:
"Remember Aurra Sing, the bounty hunter that watched the Podrace on
Tatooine. She is an ex-Padawan (or Jedi) who was forced to leave the order
due to her - you guessed it - Dark Side tendencies... She is now a bounty
hunter and specifically likes to hunt Jedi. Which is why she was on
Tatooine. Darth Sidious hears of this rumour and contacts Sing, telling her
that if she joins him, she will be given the opportunity to get revenge on
the Jedi. She becomes the next apprentice to Sidious. There is also a
possibility that she is the one who kills Shmi Skywalker. When Anakin hears
of this, he becomes enraged and in Episode 3, he finds Sing and strikes her
down - and, to use Palpatines' words - his journey to the Dark Side is
complete..."
Again, this is only a rumor. (But we can wish can't we?)
How strong is she with the Force?
Aurra Sing has proven herself to be powerful in the Force in a number of
ways so far:
In Dark Horse Star Wars #7, Aurra mentions that she has the ability to
foresee the future, which Yoda says the Force can reveal to you.
In the Dark Horse Star Wars #8, she uses the Jedi Mind Trick to cause a poor
creature in a Mos Espa cantina to beat himself senseless.
In the Aurra Sing one-shot, she wields a lightsaber. Although she doesn't
say that she made it (which is a part of the padawan process), she carries
it on her hip. And it has been said in many places that only someone
powerful in the Force can carry such a weapon.
Who is the Dark Woman?
 The Dark Woman is a Jedi Master that first identified Ki-Adi-Mundi. She is
usually given the task of training the "trouble" students. Aurra Sing was a
student of The Dark Woman before she left her training to become a bounty
hunter. After Aurra's failure, The Dark Woman went into hiding and
re-appears briefly in the comic Star Wars #8.
In the same comic, we get the impression that she doesn't like the title
"The Dark Woman". It seems that this is an unfortunate title given to her by
other Jedi because of her unlucky nature of losing her students to the Dark
Side of the Force. It is strongly hinted at that The Dark Woman is very
upset about Aurra's turn to the Dark Side.
Our interview with Tim Truman (artist/writer) shed some more light on the
Dark Woman. She has been serving the Jedi for a long time and is very old.
She is also very strong in the Force and one of her talents is seeing into
the future. Other Jedi consider her strange and fanatical, and her teaching
methods harsh.
The Dark Woman is also referred to as a Force Follower. It's not clear how a
Force Follower differs from a Jedi, or if it's a kind of Jedi, etc.

Si', ho capito. C'e' scritto che c'era nei fumetti, c'era sull'Insider e
c'era sul Visual Dictionary, ma siamo sicuri che Lucas non cambiera' la
storia? Tutte quelle storie sull'addestramento Jedi, i suoi poteri e cose
del genere sono cose che, a quanto ho capito, non ha scritto lui, per cui
potrebbe cambiarle senza farsi problemi.
Ora il punto e': se e' un personaggio che ha inventato lui, allora fara'
quello che vuole (come sempre), se invece non l'ha inventato(a) lui, sara'
"costretto" a seguire la volonta' di chi l'ha creata e, in questo caso,
sarebbe la prima volta che mette un personaggio che non ha creato lui. Che
ne pensi?
Scusa se sono discorsi campati in aria, ma ho appena finito di giocare a
Cthulhu e ho sonno...

 storia?
Certo che non siamo sicuri! Anzi.. siamo abbastanza certi che non ne sappia
nulla :-)
