Star Wars 31: The Hunt for Aurra Sing, Part 4 represents the thirty-first installment of the Star Wars comic book series and serves as the concluding chapter for the Hunt for Aurra Sing narrative. The comic was penned by Timothy Truman, features illustrations by Davidé Fabbri, and was brought to publication by Dark Horse Comics on June 27, 2001.
On a perilous jungle world, the Dark Woman sustains a gunshot wound as Aurra Sing advances to eliminate her next target—the morally bankrupt senator, Tikkes. Adi Gallia, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and A'Sharad Hett, the three Jedi opposing her, endeavor to safeguard the surviving members of the senator's questionable Quarren expedition, provide aid to the Dark Woman, and ensure Aurra Sing faces justice before she commits another murder! Sing welcomes this opportunity to expand her collection of lightsabers while finalizing another lethal assignment! When confronted by Sing, will A'Sharad Hett give way to his deepest impulses and ultimately seek retribution for his father's death? Will the combined strength of three Jedi be sufficient to defeat this merciless warrior? This exciting finale brings "The Hunt for Aurra Sing" to a close!
Aurra Sing is confronted by the Jedi tasked with her capture, only to be abruptly struck by a massive boulder launched by Master Adi Gallia. Master Gallia then sets out to locate Sing, while Ki-Adi-Mundi searches for their injured ally, the Dark Woman. Meanwhile, Padawan A'Sharad Hett is assigned to protect the Quarren Senator. Adi Gallia belatedly realizes that Senator Tikkes is Sing's intended victim. Sing launches an attack on the small Quarren group, defended by the young Hett, back at the ship. Hett successfully fends off and subdues the Jedi hunter, but in the process, succumbs to his anger. Overcome with shame, A'Sharad requests Ki to return him to the deserts of Tatooine. However, the Dark Woman offers to take him as her student, believing she can suppress the darkness within him. Forced to make a swift escape, the Jedi discover that Aurra Sing has somehow managed to get away.
In 2007, Dark Horse, in collaboration with Hasbro, issued a Comic Packs reprint of Star Wars 31, which included two action figures, Dark Woman and A'Sharad Hett.
Star Wars 31 takes place during the Rise of the Empire era, with the comic explicitly stating its setting as "30 years before Star Wars: A New Hope," or 30 BBY.
