SPECULATION Leia's Ring

I think it's a wedding ring. We know from the novelization her and Han are still married. I think the ring must have some significance to Leia because the rest of Leia's outfit is very practical so for her to wear an ornate piece of jewelry it must be special to her.

 

For me she is still royalty

(and Kylo is a disney prince :O xD )

 

Considering that after seeing it 6 times this is the first time I've thought about it I don't think it was given enough time for it to mean anything significant.

 

I agree as well part of the costume. This would been a proper one.

 

Nah, you guys are all way off... It's a Bothan Spy decoder ring!

 

If I remember right she was wearing the ring in that scene on the index finger? The index finger a good place for things like class rings, fraternal rings, or family and membership crests.

Edit. I was wrong. She is wearing it on her ring finger.

 

I was about to quote that.

Yeah, Kylo is the Half-Blood Prince lol.

 

Nah.

 

Some Disney Trivia ( Disney.wikia.com)

"With the exception of Naveen, who has a younger brother, all the Disney Princes are presumably only children".

That rules out pretty much the possibility for Kylo having any siblings

 

It's probably just a simple decoration in the scenes .

 

I wrote up a post for it on my blog here. I would have written it off as a simple piece of jewelry too but then it'd be very odd that it doesn't get explained in the Visual Dictionary, when that book makes a point of captioning even the most mundane little details in character's costumes and appearance. And it's positioned in a way in those photos of Leia where you're meant to notice it. I'm not the only one who has tried to get Hidalgo to answer tweets about it with no response, too >.>.

 

It's like you're asking the point of what brand of shoes Rey wears .

 

?? I'm not the only one who has noticed this lmao. It's an unusual, large and noticeable looking ring and in a book where Rey's suntan, Lor San Tekka's necklace, Finn's gun strap, Han's grey hair, Poe's tousled hair, random Jakku village's blaster rifle, all get captions explaining them, it seems deliberately conspicuous that Leia's ring gets nothing? Hidalgo was even answering tweets earlier about random little pieces of costume and props that got captions in the book so it's not like he's above answering those kind of questions.

Edit: Lol and now that you mention it Rey's shoes have a caption: "Govath-wool traveler's boots".

 

It's probably just a simple costume, I mean we don't know what kind of threading the costumes are made of except for Ret .

 

Lor San Tekka's "evil twin brother" has a ring like Leia's too....

 

Great post! Just saw the movie again and noticed that, both the ring and the theme playing on the background. I mean, as one of my friends said after watching it, "there will be room for speculation from here till Episode VIII".

 

so the Last Jedi poster for Leia certainly brings this ring back to prominence:



i still think it's a wedding ring and may yet be significant for that reason.
the spirit of Han will continue to be a presence (though may not literally) throughout the ST.

to me this doesn't look like a piece of jewelry she would have chosen for herself.
but it does look like maybe something Han would have picked.

if it was not meant to be a wedding ring, you would think they would have put it on a different finger.
especially seeing it here so prominent it feels like a reminder of her loss and Han's enduring "spirit".
