Aurra Sing, Cameo Queen
Star Wars is filled with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it character designs that are on screen for a shot or two, but so immediately compelling you want to know more about them. In Phantom Menace, that is Aurra Sing, who shows up to watch the Boonta Eve Podrace for approximately five seconds—and is just so striking in her presence that, thank god, we immediately got to see her shine in comics and expanded material, and eventually get to take on a real life of her own in the Clone Wars animated series (we don’t talk about her unfortunately revealed fate in Solo here, thank you).
All that from about three seconds of on-screen existence? That’s Star Wars, right there.
