Aurra Sing / Legends Aurra Sing , also known as Nashtah , was once a female Jedi Padawan , but following a series of tragedies and misfortunes , she left the Jedi Order to become a vicious bounty hunter specializing in Jedi and political assassinations . She even became an associate in the posse of Cad Bane , a brief mentor of the orphaned Boba Fett , a commander for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars , and later an Imperial Agent under the Sith Lord Darth Vader . During the Second Galactic Civil War , Sing was hired to kill Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo and Chume ' da Allana , only to be beaten by the latter . Sing ' s career spanned over seven decades , from at least 36 BBY to 40 ABY . Biography . Early life . Aurra Sing was born in the slums of Nar Shaddaa to a spice - addicted mother named Aunuanna and a father she never knew . It was also rumored she was once owned by Sennex slavers . She was brought to the Jedi Order as a candidate for Jedi training . In an attempt to control the young woman ' s overtly aggressive instincts , the Council assigned her to the Dark Woman , a mysterious and secretive Jedi Master with a track record of training difficult apprentices . However , the two did not get along well and Sing never progressed past the stage of Padawan . Around the age of nine , she was kidnapped by Sennex pirates on Ord Namurt , who played on her deep - seated fears of abandonment and betrayal to shake her trust in the Jedi . They raised the conflicted young woman as a fellow pirate . Tragedy struck again when she was eventually captured by the Hutt crime lord Wallanooga , who in turn lent her to a group of Anzati assassins . The Anzati trained her to be a remorseless killer , even equipping Sing with a bio - computer that fed her additional sensory data . Her training was paid for by the family of Hutt crime lord Urdruua , something which set his family back a generation in debt . Jedi hunter . Sing became known as a hunter of Jedi , carving a bloody swath of victims including Sharad Hett on Tatooine , Peerce and J ' Mikel on Coruscant , and Mana Veridi on Kwannot , where she also attempted to kill Obi - Wan Kenobi and Qui - Gon Jinn , who barely managed to fend her off . In addition to blasters and a slugthrower rifle , Sing wielded a red - bladed lightsaber and relished defeating Jedi in combat . In 32 BBY , during her time on Tatooine , Sing watched the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace from a balcony on Beggar ' s Canyon . She noticed that the young Human slave , Anakin Skywalker , was not cheating , which was astounding to her . She had reasoned that it was because of his strong connection to the Force that helped the boy win " an honest race in a contest that has no rules . " At the same time , Skywalker won his freedom . They would formally meet a decade later . After the deaths of Peerce , J ' Mikel and a group of Republic Peace Officer s , J ' Mikel ' s Padawan Xiaan Amersu described the attack to the Council . The Council then decided to send Ki - Adi - Mundi , Adi Gallia , and A ' Sharad Hett to begin a hunt for Sing . Sing was soon brought to the planet Talas where she was attacked by droidekas dispatched by two Quarrens named Tallet and Lekket . The Quarrens explained to Sing that they needed her services to assassinate the Quarren Senator Tikkes , who had tipped off the Republic on an operation the Quarrens had been running . Sing took no interest in the senator but agreed to the mission anyway after finding out that her former master , the Dark Woman , led the raid . Sing was nearly captured by the Jedi hunting her , but escaped aboard a personal flier . After crashing on a lush jungle world , Sing engaged the Jedi protecting Tikkes . Sing managed to get aboard the ship holding the Senator with only Hett guarding him . Sing and Hett dueled with their lightsabers with Hett coming out as the victor . Sing soon escaped , however , as the Jedi and the Senator left the planet . On Balmorra , Sing ran into Jango Fett while hunting Rigorra the Hutt . Aurra apparently had had a connection to the Hutt when she was just a slave to Wallanooga . Sing and Fett managed to infiltrate the Hutt ' s well defended palace but were captured along with two other bounty hunters — Bossk and Skorr — who were hunting Rigorra ' s brother . All four managed to escape after being poisoned with powerful toxic flowers and Sing captured Rigorra . Clone Wars . Separatist employment . Sing was employed for a time by Count Dooku , who sent her to find Boba Fett , as the boy was thought to have information vital to the Separatist cause . Upon discovering that young Fett was heir to a large amount of money , Sing attempted to take the money herself . This plan failed , however , when the young Fett escaped her on Aargau . During the Cortosis droid crisis , Anakin Skywalker encountered Sing on Tatooine . She first posed as one of the locals , and asked the young Jedi ' s help in eliminating a womp rat nest that was harassing the inhabitants . To her surprise , Skywalker managed to solve the problem without any incident . She revealed herself , and temporarily distracted him , by setting off a thermal detonator . Skywalker chased after the Dark Jedi and cornered her near Jabba the Hutt ' s palace . However , before they could fight , Saato managed to incapacitate Anakin , and ordered Sing to throw the Padawan into the palace dungeons . Nar Shaddaa . Shortly after the Battle of Geonosis , Urdruua the Hutt , a crime lord based on Sing ' s home moon of Nar Shaddaa , placed a death mark on a Jedi and Sing accepted the bounty . However , the Hutt revealed that the Jedi Aurra was supposed to be hunting was in fact herself . He shot poison gas into his main chamber , but Sing escaped , to find herself surrounded by Nikto assassins being led by a Chadra - Fan with a nail gun . After finding another way to escape , she sniped out three Duros assassins , who were also trying to snipe her . After getting on a comlink with the Hutt , she noted that she had placed a bomb in the Hutt ' s palace , and a few seconds later it was destroyed . Aurra Sing left the scene saying : " Such a waste . Now I have to go to find real Jedi to kill . " Joining Boba Fett . Around 22 BBY , during the Clone Wars , she joined up with Boba Fett to kill Mace Windu for revenge for Boba ' s father . Boba , under the name of " Lucky " , boarded the " Endurance " as a clone cadet . After his first attempt on Windu ' s life failed , he contacted Sing to ask for advice . Sing told him to blow up the reactors , much to Boba ' s surprise . After Boba successfully destroyed the " Endurance ' s " reactors , sending it crashing towards Vanqor , he got into one of the escape pods along with several of the other cadets . Once they were away from the plummeting vessel , the pod was docked by " Slave I " . Bossk and Sing entered the pod to confront Boba . After telling him that the other cadets must be launched into space , due to the fact that they are " living witnesses " , Boba reluctantly came aboard " Slave I " and jettisoned the pod from " Slave I ' s " docking area . Although the group of bounty hunters escaped , the cadets were saved by Anakin Skywalker and Windu , who had escaped the " Endurance " in their Jedi Starfighters . She later abducted Admiral Kilian , Commander Ponds , and a naval officer from the crash site of the " Endurance " on Vanqor . After Skywalker and Windu triggered their bomb in the crash site , Boba convinced Sing to go back there and get the two Jedis ' heads to bring to Dooku , who might pay them for their trouble . Sing , along with Boba and Castas , went to the crash site . Due to the ship falling apart , and R2 - D2 ' s interference , Sing decided to blow up the crash site . As they left , Bossk contacted Sing , telling that a explosion happened near where the Jedi landed . Sing then ordered Bossk to jam all transmissions from the planet . When Sing and her team returned to " Slave I " , they saw Windu ' s Jedi starfighter taking off . Unbeknownst to Sing , only R2 - D2 was aboard . Though " Slave I " took out the Jedi fighter ' s communications , Artoo reached the hyperspace rings and escaped . Knowing that Windu would not hold a grudge against them , she decided to motivate Windu by using the hostages . When contacting Mace Windu to come and find her , Sing shot Ponds , whom she had abducted , after Boba wouldn ' t do it . The group of bounty hunters then docked on Florrum for a visit with Sing ' s old flame Hondo Ohnaka to see if he would give them any advice . During a visit in the bar with Hondo , Sing overheard Castas communicating via hologram to a friend on Coruscant . After hearing him calling her an old hag , she shot him . Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano later caught up with her . After having a quarrel in a room , Sing fled away , leaving a discouraged Boba behind . Tano chased her , but after getting an order from Plo Koon , she went to free the hostages . Sing got suspicious , so she went to go and stop the Padawan . After Tano pursued her , she fled on " Slave I " , but because of a wing failure caused by Tano , the ship crashed . Sing was presumed dead by the Jedi . Unknown to them , Hondo salvaged her out of " Slave I " ' s wreckage . Ziro ' s job . Sing was later hired by Ziro the Hutt to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala in retaliation for imprisoning him . She tracked the Senator to Alderaan , where Amidala was due for a conference on refugee concerns . Infiltrating the conference through the vents and snapping the neck of several Senate Commandos , Sing set up a sniper position . Only the timely intervention of Tano gave Amidala a flesh wound , forcing Sing to flee . Sing later made a second attempt on Amidala ' s life when she tracked down the Senator , not being fooled by the BD - 3000 luxury droid acting in her place . But once again , Tano interfered . Sing outdrew Tano as she grazed the Padawan , but Amidala used a stun blaster on her . Sing was then arrested and brought to Coruscant . Senate hostages . Later in the Clone Wars , Sing teamed up with Cad Bane ' s bounty hunter team for the raid on the Republic Senate Building . To see how " solitary types " like Aurra Sing , Robonino and Shahan Alama would work together , Bane set them on a test mission to capture bounty hunter Davtokk on the planet Keyorin . Davtokk attempted to take out Bane to collect the bounty on his head , but was overcome with relative ease by Bane ' s team . Pleased with their performance , Bane moved the team to Coruscant to prepare for an operation to rescue Ziro Desilijic Tiure . During the hostage siege Aurra covered Bane ' s entrance to the building by taking out the Senate Commandos who attempted to stop him with a sniper rifle . After Bane eliminated the remaining Senate Commandos , Aurra shot a dying one . Later she aided Shahan Alama in searching for the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , whose presence in the Senate Building threatened to thwart Bane ' s plan . Eventually , with the help of Robonino they managed to render Skywalker unconscious . When the Hutt crime lord was freed , Aurra Sing successfully left the crime scene along with the rest of the group . Her actions earned her a one - hundred fifty thousand credit bounty on her head for " crimes against the Republic . " Devaron . During an assignment to assassinate a Galactic Republic senator on Devaron , Sing crossed paths with Jedi sent to investigate her , including Aayla Secura , Tholme , and An ' ya Kuro . She almost killed the latter two in a cave explosion but was defeated and captured instead by Secura , who scarred the bounty hunter and sliced off her bio - computer antenna . Sing was sent to a prison on Oovo IV . Agent of the Empire . The Search for Pavan . In 18 BBY , she was freed by Darth Vader and sent to kill the former Jedi , Jax Pavan . Vader had her transported to Coruscant , and she went to the remains of the Jedi Temple to search for any clues to Pavan ' s whereabouts . While there , she encountered Gregar Typho and in the resulting duel between them , she lost and became unconscious . Typho then took one of her lightsabers , which he would later send as a gift to Jax . Sing was closing in on her quarry , getting nearer and nearer to finding Jax , and at one point engaged in a duel against Jax ' s Gray Paladin ally , Laranth Tarak . Later , she caught up with Pavan and engaged him in a duel . The Jedi outsmarted Sing , and dropped her into a reposticator , where he presumed Sing met her death . Galactic Civil War . Sing was seen again on Tatooine soon after the Battle of Hoth , once again on the hunt of a Jedi . She had followed her instincts to the planet as she had sensed a new Force wielder there , but was unable to pick out her target at first as his powers hadn ' t yet surfaced and so she was unsure as to who it was . To find out , she entered Jabba ' s demolition games on her ancient swoop , using her sniper rifle to take out targets . She eventually discovered that that her target was the young Wade Vox , whom she tried to take out after he won his freedom . She was unable to do so , however , as Vox deflected her sniper shots with his newly - built crimson lightsaber . New Republic and Galactic Alliance . In 40 ABY , using the name Nashtah , Sing was accidentally hired by Lalu Morwan to assassinate Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka and her young daughter Allana . After allying herself with an undercover Han and Leia Organa Solo , whom she shared her tale of watching Anakin Skywalker ' s race , her attempt to kill Allana was thwarted by Jacen Solo and ironically , her own quarry ; while she managed to destroy the Defender Droid DD - 11A and deal a few wounds on Solo , she had suffered a dislocated knee and was immobilized by Allana ' s injector pen . Soon afterward , she was captured by security forces and placed in a holding cell aboard the Star Destroyer " Anakin Solo " . Personality and traits . Aurra Sing was one of the most powerful and ruthless bounty hunters in the galaxy . She possessed a great hatred of Jedi , believing that they had abandoned her . Because of this she was an angry and pained individual and Aayla Secura took advantage of this by taunting her about being abandoned by the Jedi Order , allowing her to defeat Sing . Sing had no qualms about committing murder and killed Clone Commander Ponds without a second thought . During her youth , she was also noted for being very aggressive , and therefore the Jedi Council placed her under the instruction of An ' ya Kuro . However , Sing hated Kuro , possibly because she used brutal and , to some , disturbing training methods , and she quickly believed that the Jedi Master had abandoned her when she was captured by pirates and thus turned to the dark side . However , despite her ruthlessness , Sing was also somewhat of a mother to Boba Fett during his teenage years , sometimes addressing him as " honey " and stopping him from drinking alcohol in Hondo Ohnaka ' s bar . She was , however , also very selfish and abandoned Fett to save herself after the boy was captured by Plo Koon . She also tried to get the boy to murder the helpless Commander Ponds and , when he hesitated , she simply shoved him aside and killed Ponds herself . Boba ' s bounty hunter father , Jango , felt " sympathy " for Aurra . Over the years , Jango Fett had encountered many other bounty hunters and , on several occasions , had even been required to kill them . He ' d done so without remorse because bounty hunting was , after all , a chosen profession , and everyone knew the risks . No one had , by 23 BBY , ever gained Jango ' s entire trust , and very few — only Zam Wesell and Cradossk — had ever earned his respect . But ever since his first run - in with Sing , he ' d felt something for her that was — for Jango — even more powerful than trust or respect : she had his sympathy , something Fett kept in extremely short supply . While others looked at Aurra and saw nothing more than a trigger - happy psychopath , Jango saw her as " a broken spirit " , the result of a lifetime of bad breaks . And so he felt sympathy for Aurra because " she had not chosen bounty hunting as a profession . " " Bounty hunting had chosen her " . Aurra Sing had , for a time , a romantic relationship with Hondo Ohnaka , and though they were no longer lovers , Ohnaka still referred to her as " my dear " . However , Ohnaka refused to help Sing when she tried to lure Ahsoka Tano and Plo Koon into a trap . Parentage . Sing ' s biological heritage was veiled in secrecy . Her mother was Human , but her father was of an unknown long - lived species . Nevertheless , rumors abounded , some even speculating that he may have been Anzati . She inherited certain physical traits from her father , such as her pale white skin , dark and sunken eye sockets , and fingers roughly twice the length of the standard Human hand . Another trait that seemed to originate from her father was a very strange metabolism which required her to frequently ingest sustenance , which mainly consisted of drinking blood drained from raw meat . She also inherited his longevity , her life having long exceeded that of a regular Human . At the time of the Second Galactic Civil War , she was at least ninety years old though she appeared no older than she had during the Clone Wars , sixty years prior . Powers and abilities . Aurra Sing was a deadly bounty hunter and Jedi killer who slew several Jedi throughout her career , including the highly skilled Sharad Hett . She was skilled in the use of telekinesis which she used to hurl rocks at Hett before killing him . When ambushed by droidekas , she managed to evade their blaster bolt s with Force speed and use Force Jump to get a close swipe at them . Sing was also a highly skilled lightsaber duelist , both with a single lightsaber and dual blades . She was capable of utilizing Battlemind and Force sight . Sing also proved to be an excellent markswoman and sniper , managing to shoot Sharad Hett in the arm on Tatooine . She was also able to shoot down several Senate Commandos with great accuracy during her mission to rescue Ziro the Hutt and shot a blaster out of Anakin Skywalker ' s hand after he disarmed her companion , Shahan Alama . Weapons and equipment . Aurra Sing often took Jedi ' s lightsabers as trophies and kept them in suitcases . She wielded two dual - triggered blaster pistols , a Czerka Adventurer slugthrower rifle or Fallann hyper - rifle slung on her back , as well as the lightsabers of the Jedi she had slain . She also made use of a customized swoop while hunting Sharad Hett on Tatooine . Sing had a number of cyborg parts , the most prominent being the antenna sticking out of her head . Her head also contained a Rhen - Orm biocomputer . Behind the scenes . The character of Aurra Sing was first conceived in a sketch labeled " Babe Fett " by Lucasfilm ' s Doug Chiang . Chiang had made the sketch as a result of George Lucas ' request to have more characters fill out the podracing sequence in . In the final film , the character was played by model Michonne Bourriague . Aurra Sing became so popular with fans that she was explored in other media , including the video games " " and " " ( where she was voiced by Tasia Valenza ) and the " " , where she was voiced by Jaime King .
