THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: WHO'S THAT (EVIL) GIRL?

Spectators of the pod race are diverse in species and from all walks of life, the event even attracting the attentions of the striking but lethal female bounty hunter Aurra Sing, making her enigmatic cameo debut appearance with EPISODE I, and soon proving a firm fan favourite, as seen with the above cover to Star Wars Insider issue 45 back in the day. Model Michelle Bourriage would endure the unique make-up process and fill in the shapely costume well.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE HUNTRESS STRIKES!

She may have only had one brief scene in THE PHANTOM MENACE, watching the Boonta Eve pod race on Tatooine, but Bounty Hunter Aurra Sing, as portrayed by actress/model Michelle Bourriague, had that intriguing look about her that soon made a big enough impression on the STAR WARS universe and its fans to see her vitally incorporated as a major villainess within the CLONE WARS era, from comics to the second animated series (voiced by Jaime King). Now more the ever, red means dead!

"Can you get SKY MOVIES HD on this?"

Make-up artists Karen Bradley and Danny Waggoner attend to the delicate work on the head of actress Michelle Bourriague, about to make her blink and you miss it (but soon iconic) cameo appearance as the Bounty Hunter Aurra Sing in ILM inserts filmed for inclusion within the epic Pod Race of STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Her character may not have made a once planned return in EPISODE II, but the character has certainly made her mark since both in DARK HORSE comic form, and, as voiced by Jaime King, in the hit THE CLONE WARS series showing on SKY and CARTOON NETWORK.
