    "@pablohidalgo what's the deal with the ring Leia was flashing? Just a bauble she liked or jewelry with deep meaning?" (April 13, 2016)

    I've seen Pablo Hidalgo asked about repeatedly on twitter. I haven't seen a response. He's answered other costume related questions like about Finn's shoes (yes really).

    Now those boots looks amazing...that's such awesome details compared to he previous iterations...also, it doesn't look like. Wedding ring to me but rather a symbolic ring...OR it could just be a nice ring the costume designers found and ought it would look great with her costume :p .

    I've been thinking about it and it's interesting how the guy has not mentioned anything about it. Anyhow, Disney just take my money and sell those rings, I want one!!! (Sterling Silver, please). LOL.

    I've asked Pablo about the ring too. I was brushed off by other fans on other sites about it as "so what?" But I am a jewelry designer and I know costume choices and accessories on a movie this big are nit picked down to the last minute detail, so it has some significance. It's odd that Hidalgo doesn't respond to what are probably by now 100's of questions about it. Things that make you go, hmmm...

    Not to mention the ring is kind of unwieldy, large, clunky, and uncomfortable-looking. Almost as if it was magnified in order to show up on screen. I definitely noticed it, and I usually don't notice people's jewelry in movies.

    Of course, I doubt it's the key to all our burning questions (unfortunately), but I bet the designer had some symbolic meaning in mind.

    In the Visual Dictionary for General Leia's entry, Leia is posed twice so that her right arm and hand are prominent while her left arm and hand are obscured or hidden. They want you to notice the ring. In the movie it's pretty in your face as well, particular when it's Leia's right arm and hand that hug Rey while her left arm and hand is hidden again. The ring is almost in the dead center of the frame. Leia also hugged Han Solo earlier in the movie.

    Just noticed this didn't make it into the movie. It's in the home video documentary.

    I wanna see Leia come in full blast with her secretive and slick ass violet lightsaber (blue in the EU I believe) to save Rey, Finn, or Poe at the last minute. Carrie would be like, " Let's do this $h!t moth23f%^ker" (while smoking a deathstick). #fantasies

    I think it would be a really strange image to see Leia wield a lightsaber NOW.
