The *OFFICIAL* Aurra Sing In EP3 Thread

Look this isn't about EU, cause i don't care for it. But Aurra DOES have a better chance than any extra or minor character. To be honest, i think she has a better chance than Boba *breaks the hearts of some*. Sorry, but i just don't think boba will be in it, he'll have nothing to do, he won't take out mace or any jedi, and the last scene of him is obviously meant to lead right into the OT where we see him grown up, in his prime, and fufilling his determintation and future occupation in his fathers footsteps just as he was trained by Jango.

 

"But Aurra DOES have a better chance than any extra or minor character."

You didn't quite explain this part.

 

[color=663300]well, I don't think she has a BETTER chance. hell chewbacca probably has a better chance of bein in the third one. I just don't see why she should not be in it. [/color]

 

Aurra DOES have a better chance to be in episode 3 than many extras or speculated characters. Let me explain.....

- she was added urgently, at the last minute into episode 1 for " use in the later episodes" or something to that effect.

- lucas and staff have toyed with the idea of a female villian, most notably the sith witch. Although she is not a sith, she is indeed a female bounty hunter and seems mysterious and evil.

- Mcallum has said there will be a new villian in episode 3. I wouldn't say that it would be Tarkin since he has also said that there will be no new characters from the OT showing up or something like that.

- Vader likes to use bounty hunters.

I'm not saying she will be in it. I'm just saying she has a better chance than a lot. I feel she has a better chance than little boba at being a helper in the purge.

On another note, although it would be cool if she were in it, i wouldn't really care if she wasn't. I am just having some fun speculating.

And I do NOT like the EU! although i respect those who do.

 

If you read the latest Cinescape(I don't have copy yet but is in Latest News) George Lucas himself says Boba does make an appearance as a 13 yr old in-transition bounty hunter. He can't fit the helmet yet but Boba does play a small role.
No menton of Aurra but I hope Lucas finaly uses her. I'm not an Aurra fan(she killed my dad Sharad!) but it does makes sense(EU comics) for her to have a hand in the demise of the Jedi class in the Old Republic...

 

[color=663300]NO NO NO! no spoilers. hell even something george says in a magazine is a spoiler to me![/color]

 

Aurra Sing = Sifo-Dyas

think about it.....

 

Sorry about that merlin!

Forgot I was on an EPIII NON-spoiler thread. These "Official" threads are kinda confusing! (Corny Capt Kirk speak: "Must be... thinking too much... about Aayla Secura..."

 

Aurra Sing, if she's in it, will probably help kill the Jedi, maybe train Boba a little.

 

Yep, its what she does best. Does she also teach him the Ways of the Night, too?

Groovy!

 

[color=663300]I just wanna see her kill a jedi or two. then I'd be happy.[/color]

 

I wonder what it would be like to see Aurra with a ship and what kind of weapons she'd have!!!??! Please don't bombard me with all sorts of EU answers about how we've already seen this, haha!

 

I just read KAMPILAN's post, and out of paranoia I want to ask for no spoilers! I know that there are different point of views on what a spoiler is, but that seemed a little overboard IMO. I'm not sure of the exact rules but I think that might be against them, seeing as it could be called a spoiler. Spoiler free 'til episode 3!

So back to Aurra Sing, any ideas on what she could do!!?

 

ummm... Kick some jedi ?@#!

 

Sorry about that MW!

As far as what Aurra can/will do...I'm pretty much spoiled by the EU comics so what would you think Lucas will do different? I don't even know if he likes the idea of Aurra as a former Padawan. I think it'll make the demise of the Jedi Order that more interesting than just her being a non-Force sensitive bounty hunter like Zam-dude.
Again, she killed my dad, Sharad Hett, former Padawan to Master Eeeth Koth!

 

No problem Kampilan!!! It wasn't THAT much of a spoiler, BUT I am pretty particular about going spoiler free.

I can't remember correctly, were any weapons shown with Aurra on her or on her balcony during the quik shot of her in the pod race. I know she had the double pistols and I think the rifle, but was there anything else? I've seen it so many times and I can't remember clearly, cuz its so quick!! I guess I got an excuse to pop in TPM tonight!

 

a couple of points i'd like to address:

1 - "spoilers" as defined in this forum, do NOT include anything stated by GL himself.

while i cannot say i agree totally, especially to a hard core spoiler-freeer, it IS STATED AS A RULE in the some thread here in this forum that i cannot find right now.

if anyone disagrees, please say so.
i won't argue. i promise.
i am just pretty sure that is how i remember it.

iron parrot:
as stated plainly in "starlog" mag issue #300, GL states here, and not for the first time, that there is a "GRAY AREA" - i cannot post quotes here for time constraints and lack of location of these quotes, but i promise you this is true.

can you take my word for it?

aurra sing is a gray area.
and like i said, if gl's chief creative staff wants a evil woman, zam wessel probably didn't fill their appetites.
aurra sing, "the jedi killer" sure would.

so perhaps you could ease your position on what you'd actually like to see in epIII (or NOT see!) and agree that her character has more of a place than chewie, baby han, boba for the sake of boba, ET's!!!!!, and more nute gunray or sebulba sightings.

hell, aurra is way more important than even seeing uncle owen again.

tarkin, well, that's another story.

but aurra fits nicely into my view of epIII, and clearly even some non-EU'ers see this.

even maul only really lasted one episode, why not aurra?

one more thing:
to take gl's line that "we'll see another major baddie in epIII," (paraphrased and perhaps said by mccallum) and pretend that they mean the birth of vader is pretty weak.

i have to believe he has more respect for the intellect of the masses than to think vader or the emperor is the "new" baddie.
that makes us seem rather ignorant.

 

Yes, I am not a fan of the EU and I still think Aurra Sing would be a cool addition to episode 3. Simply because many signs point to the possibility and she is not purely EU as we all know. There is some significance and I think it may be in episode 3.

 

upon all my viewings of TPM, i have never seen any other weapons.

the AF doesn't come with any either.

only the comics portray her with her "collected lightsabers" and actually packing one (or 2!) on her belt.

 

What is the big deal about Sing? She did absolutly nothing in TPM. Yet she is seen as the end all be all bounty hunter.
In fact she was on screen for maybe 3 seconds.
Help me out on this one. Why should someone who isn't a large character suddenly have a big roll?
Jango Fett was a good character. Not because he bit the dust but because he gave Boba a backround.
Sing isn't important. I sorry. I know everyone has their own favorite characters but how could anyone consider her a favorite.
Open my eye's. And I may change my mind.

 

Jedibri,
There isn't really an obsession or anything, at least not with me. I personally am not into EU. The interest for me isn't what she HAS done, its what she COULD do. She seems to have some significance based on the way lucas put her in the film last second. I'm just speculating, having a little fun.

 

" This weapon is your life!" ~ Obi Wan Kenobi(referring to anakins lightsaber)

and

" Perhaps I killed a jedi and took it from him" Qui Gon
" Thats impossible, NO ONE can kill a jedi." Anakin
" I only wish that were so..." Qui Gon

Perhaps Lucas is building up to something here......

 

any thoughts here people????!!!!????

 

I still think that a Force-sensitive bounty hunter is the best and most ironic idea in SW and would be a great chapter in EPIII! And the fact that she is a woman(no offense!) doing all this stuff makes her a stronger character than Zam Wessell.
I say give her a lightsaber(s), keep the swoopbike, mention her backstory on her motives(maybe Dooky talks about her to Sidious?), help Dooky and Boba and kill some Jedi.
Again, I am not a fan of Sing but it definitely makes EPIII a darker film...She's the closest thing to a Sith Witch!

 

If Aurra Sing does appear in Episode III I think she will either be a Sith Witch (maybe Dooku takes an apprentice to help him try and overthrow Sidious) or Boba Fett's new mentor.
Interesting fact: in the Star Wars Demolitions game it says that Aurra Sing is still alive at the time of ANH. Make of that what you will
