Somebody clear this up for me...Lately there's been spy reports saying that Walsman isn't Aurra Sing but another bounty hunter. Alot of people have begun to think that she's Ambu Fett (if Ambu is female, which we don't know) and may turn out to be Boba Fett's mother. Isn't she just a tab bit young to be his mother? Is there new information that I missed somewhere along the way?

King Jedi
I never really thought that she was going to be Aurra Sing anyway. Robin Gurland said that she picked her because of her "pixy like" features but I never thought Aurra Sing looked like a Pixy. She looks scary.

Ratcat
Obviously ahve a differnt type of pixie at the end of your garden.

But seriously, the long, lean, pale look could be considered pixie-ish I suppose but I don't know.

Ever since I saw Aurra Sing I always had the impression that she was quite tall, any idea on how tall Leanna is?

theEviljedi
I always thought she was a bit chubbier then the original.

Ratcat
I've only seen the picture from TOWS and she does seem to have a rounder face than would be suitable for Aurra.

theEviljedi
I wish the original Aurra would play her.She does take karate.

Dim
But we don't know if she can act EJ...She's just a model and I'm not sure that Aurra Sing really needs to be a karate expert. I would think someone who really looks like they could handle a weapon would be more needed.

theEviljedi
She acted in plays.Read #50 Star Wars Insider.

Dim
I don't get the SW Insider...

theEviljedi
Me ether but go to the book store and read it off the shelf.

Dim
But...then people would know I'm a closet SW fan!

theEviljedi
Well then baby sit a kid and bring her/he with saying it's for her/he.stick out tongue

Dim
I don't think anyone really trust me with their kids...I tend to encourage unruliness...

Maybe I could take my ferret in and act like I'm reading to her....but that would exactly NOT draw attention would it?

King Jedi
Leanna Walsman isn't very tall and she is chubbier than the Ep1 Aurra Sing. If she is not playing Aurra then that means we don't know who is. Who would you like?

Dim
Well alot of people think she's Ambu Fett, but I don't know. I think she might be a little young for that one too.

As for Leanna being chubbier...It looks to me like she's lost alot of weight going by her pic on the Official site...of course I don't want to get into a weight arguement so I'll leave it at that...

Ratcat
The thing with the Ambu Fett rumour is that we don't even know if Ambu Fett is a man, woman or child. Everyone out there is assuming it's a female who is Boba Fetts mother. For all I know it could be the name og Boba Fetts dog!

I really hope Lucas finds the perfect person to play Sing, or he already has. Sing should be played by a great acting unknown whose tall thin and evil. She has to have a huge role in killing the Jedi(maybe Anakins mom).

Ratcat
Speculation is that whilst the actions she carries out will be pivotal, her role within the film will not be large.

About as big as Boba Fett's role in ESB which wasn't massive when you look at it, though what he did had major repercussions.

Dim
True...I think everyone is just excited because it looks like there might finally be a bad girl in SW...

King Jedi
I've seen Leanna Walsman in Heartbreak High and she definatley doesn't have the same figure as Aurra Sing. I think the actress who plays Le Femme Nikita in the T.V show would be a good Aurra Sing. What is her name?

Ratcat
NO idea, but you're right about her figure.

Dim
Yeah, I don't know what she looks like now but it seems like she used to look rather blocky...Of course in a recent pic from some Australian newspaper she looked like every other actress (bean pole).

Ratcat
Even a bean pole wou;dn't work. If you look at the artcile at the official site today they have rather a lot of pics of Michonne Bourriague and whilst she's no porker, she isn't a bean pole either.

I think the term is well proportioned. Every thing in just the right amounts, in just the right places.

King Jedi
Aurra could be CGI and then they could make her look however they wanted although I hope she isn't.

Dim
I don't think they'd spend the millions of dollars needed to make Aurra CGI...

King Jedi
Does it really cost that much for CGI characters? I always thought it was cheaper than using puppets, actors or make-up.

Dim
Well, it cost about $20 mil to get Jar Jar together...so yeah...it costs alot.

King Jedi
I thought CGI was used to cut costs. Obviously not.

Ratcat
I know CGI has advanced a great deal but I think they're still a couple of hears away from producing a realistic human being.

Jar Jar, Dewbacks and the like are easier because of their surface skin, but they still have problems with realistic human skin, even if it is pale.

Dim
I can't think of a reason why they would want to. I heard that theres atleast one project where they are doing that and it's supposed to be really good CGI but I think alot of the problem with that kind of thing is that we notice subtle things about a human that makes it look fake where as we'll accept a little less from an alien because they don't really exist. CGI should really only be used to do things that otherwise just couldn't be done...it takes alot of people alot of time to get a good result with it...and all those people are on salary (even though from what I hear it's not always a good salary...)

Ratcat
Exactly. I heard of a project where they were going to recreat some big stars from history like Marlyne Monrow <sp> and James Dean, just really to prove they could do it realistically.

But getting those nuances is the real trich as you say.

Dim
Marilyn Monroe smile

Doesn't that seem like a huge waste of money to you? does to me..sheesh..I don't get rich people roll eyes (sarcastic)

Hey! what about the girl from "witchblade"??? she is so perfect for a jedi or bounter hunter...or sith lord / dark jedi...

what is her name???

King Jedi
What is witchblade?

Ratcat
Witchblade appears to be a female comic hero. You know the type, big boobs, totally unrealistic waste and thighs to crush a man.

Comic book entertainment by titilation...

Do a search for Witchblade on Yahoo and you'll find about 5 sites devoted to her.

Dim
RC: "Comic book entertainment by titilation..."

I say you've hit the nail on the head there....

King Jedi
I'm not sure what it means but I like the sound of it.smile
