What's the purpose of Aurra Sing appearing in Star Wars Episode One?

As far as I know, there were no intended extra scenes for Aurra Sing. She was based on a sketch by the concept artist Doug Chiang who was designing female bounty hunters at the time, and was popular enough with GL to get one of his 'stamps' on the artwork and a live appearance. She turned out to be enigmatic enough to become a fan favorite, and prompted a slew of back story which also resulted in her appearance in the new Clone Wars series.



So many of these 'blink and you miss 'em' characters appear in the Star Wars saga - often elevated to more prominence due to fan demand (look at Hammerhead in the cantina, or Bossk from Vader's bounty hunter team). For me, it's part of the appeal of the saga - a glimpse at a much larger galaxy.
