So..Just watched Solo...*spoilers just in case* Why has no one talked about them mentioning Beckett killed Aurra Sing? That's pretty significant

Sing isn't quite the creature she was in Legends continuity. I think she got used because the other hunters featured in her episodes show up later in film continuity, and Sing doesn't, meaning she can be used to highlight danger. To be honest, I think that had they substituted in Cad Bane's name, it would have upped Beckett's cred further. |

Maybe not but she was still basically the one "raising" Boba, so while, like you said, she isn't what she was in the EU her name still has substantial weight..at least imo. |

Also, with Tobias' penchant for misdirection, there's part of me that wonders if he didn't just play Vos on that. |

Not really. As far as layman movie goer, Aura Sing is an unknown name drop. And honestly, she is the Willrow Hood of the prequels: on screen for 1.5 seconds and has a cult following demanding a backstory. I was also under the impression that Sing was killed in TCW, by known agents. Remind me why this name drop was mentioned in Solo. |

I don't expect it from Laymans. Star Wars is full of one note characters that got cult followings *cough* Boba Fett *Cough*. Sing was pretty much Raising Boba throughout TCW. When Lando meets Beckett he mentions that Beckett was the one to Kill sing and that Lando was grateful because he owed her a lot of money. |

But Boba had a significant role to play in the OT, as well as raised significant questions about his character; namely, how is he good enough to get hired by Darth Vader. Sing only ever watched a pod race. Even though I do agree that the explanation of of her absence from the scene on the Executor, Boba had infinitely more screen time in two movies. If she was supposed to be such a renowned hunter, why didn't they simply script her in place of Zam? I do agree with Ed, Bane would have made a far bigger impact with the fans. But yet again, it smacks of the current girl power agenda. Thanks for the memory jog. |

Cad Bane was killed by Boba Fett before the Clone Wars ended. Unfortunately, Filoni and Lucas were unable to finish that arc before they quit making TCW. However, to the best of my knowledge, it is still cannon. |

Perhaps that will get seen in the new episodes being done for Disney's new streaming service. |

I thought Sing died when the Slave I crashed. |

No she survived that and came back in TCW (she tried to assassinate Padme afterwards and everyone thought she was dead, so nobody trusted Ahsoka's visions). |

Cad Bane is, in my opinion, criminally underrated. I hope these last episodes of Clone Wars tells us, offically, what is his fate. |
