STAR WARS---What race is Aurra Sing?

Right. I was using the Nagai anyway, since a) I wanted a mysterious race of potentially hostile aliens, b) one of my players is a fan of the old Marvel Star wars comics, and c) I happen to think the Nagai rock on toast.

Sing's race is officially unknown, yes. If you're worried about being contradicted (or don't happen to think the Nagai rock on toast), go with Near Human.

(Though If I had it to do over again, I'd be tempted to make her a Nebari.)

Oh, yeah, Aura Sing's species is so much more important to know than say, Yoda's. Phf, who cares what species he is? Just call it "Random Muppet" and then figure out all the miniscule differences between Sing's species and other humans.

Whoa Dave, where are you going with this? How did you think that I was making Aurra Sing's race a thing of importance? Because I wasn't. Actually I totally can't tell what your reply is about. Sarcasm about Aurra Sing or Yoda?

Anyways, it's just that a Player in our game wants to use that race....and I want to find out if they have stats somewhere. That's all. I'm more than comfortable with just making up my own name and stats. But if there's info on it already, why not use it right? I was just casually asking is all.

By the way, I thought the hype around Aurra Sing was quite silly. An obvious attempt to 'create the next Boba Fett' fandom.

.....what's Phf mean?

O.K., maybe I have been under a rock for the last years, but I don't know what hype do you speak of...
In fact, I didn't even know her. I did'nt remember her from Ep. I.

So please, tell me...

* Where and when did she appear?
* What hype are you talking of?

Thanks a lot!!!!
 


Pfh is onomotapia similar to Pshaw.
I was responding mostly to "You'd think with all the hype around her, they'd name her race already. I mean, they're naming races of guys lesser exposed than her...."
Some species just are unknown. Including Jedi Master Yoda. And I've had players that want to play a Yoda, especially since AotC showed how cool he is.
 

Well, thankgoodness none of my players want to play a character of Yoda's race. I think some things are just best left 'special' and uncommon. Especially a key figure like Yoda.

Phf is Pshaw? Heh heh....okay, I totally missed that.

Horacio, I guess to be fair, none of the hype was filtered to the audience through the movies. But if you're a Star Wars fan and pick up the comic books or just the "Star Wars Insider" magazine, then she was over-hyped. She had her own comic mini-series from Dark Horse. She constantly showed up in SWI mag a lot, or the actress that played her. It was silly.

Its obvious that they wanted to re-create the excitement and fandom that had come up around Boba Fett. Like it was a formula or something.

No, the thing about Boba Fett was (many factors actually) that he was mysterious, cool looking, edgy, and most of all........Lucas wasn't trying to make him cool or anything. People look at him and want to know more. Especially when there wasn't more info available on him. It was neat.

Now, here comes the new trilogy. I can see people sitting around a production meeting saying how cool it would be to make another Bounty Hunter that kind of becomes the Boba Fett of Ep1-3. Basically, the 'cool' character that everyone wants to know more about.

She was kind of intriguing, but before the fans could start to boil up a Boba Fett like relationship/interest, the Star Wars people were ramming her down our throats. They tried too hard. Now, most of us don't even care. Woopdee doo.

To me, and a few others, our new Boba Fett (our new side character we think is cool and doesn't show up often) is Plo Koon.

Its sort of like asking girls out. Come off too strong and they get annoyed and turned off. If you're cool, just be there and be yourself......let the rest take over.:D
 

When Aurra Sing first appeared, many fans speculated that she was of the Nagai race, since there were many similarities between Sing and the Nagai from Marvel Comics. The aurrasing.net website actually had an in-depth article on this, but alas, the website no longer seems to exist.
