Background Info
"A***a S**g" refers to Aurra Sing, a bounty hunter in The Phantom Menace. This essay was written before the second Star Wars Prequel movie, Attack of the Clones, was released in 2002. At the time, there was speculation that Aurra Sing would have a larger role in the movie, especially when character merchandise was announced in early 2000.[citation needed]
Excerpts
Grave injustice doth lurk about the SW Universe.
Indeed Life on Earth has advanced admirably in the past twenty+ years and now not only are hairstyles more tasteful but also Leia is no longer the only female of substance in SWdom. Into the garbage chute, flyboy!
The Official Site put up its Female Characters tribute page. Yippeee!! -- never before have I fully, ah, appreciated Greeata and Sy Snootles before. Who's next; Luke's tauntaun?! [/sarcasm]
But the wuipipi dropped today when lo and behold, per TF.N's news page, we are to be blessed with a vinyl figurine (ooh! ahh!) of A***a S**g, perhaps the most insignificant lens-smear of a quasi-character in all of TPM.
Yeah I know she/it's supposed to be in Ep.II real big and blah blah blah, but let's just work with what we really have before us, shall we? Just go with me on this.
Now that's a real Star-Warrior for you. No Force-ingenue, no royal priveleges, no, just Doing Her Job.
Sabé is the Wedge Antilles of Episode I.
Meanwhile, we'll sit by as Hasbro markets Amidala Battle Dress and Travel Gown (i.e., black feather headdress) dolls with nary a mention of Sabé, and churns out an action figure of every single audience member at the Boonta Eve Podrace (not to mention another 20 editions of the main characters) before casting a drop of plastic toward the Handmaidens, and the SW Insider plasters A**** S***'s face on its cover.
