40. General Organa, in Blue
People call Leia Organa general in TFA, but this outfit tells you that the princess we first met in ANH still exists. Or, to paraphrase Lor San Tekka, she’s still royalty. Notably, Leia doesn’t really favor a lot of blue in any of her previous outfits from the original trilogy or even the other costume she has in this movie, particularly not this deep shade. The closest she gets would be her light blue pants on Endor in ROTJ and then her sleeveless duster, which is a blue-gray, from TESB.
Actually, the main character who wears the most blue in the entire series is almost certainly Padmé Amidala.
Interestingly enough, the hairstyle here is also bigger and more complex, evoking without copying Padmé’s hairstyles in the intricacy.
Leia wears this at the end of the film, when she sends Rey off in the Falcon to go find Luke Skywalker, who dresses like a Jedi Knight. Not to read too deeply into things, but the last time we see either of the Skywalker children in the movie, they’re dressed like their parents, a politician and a Jedi knight — just without any black in Luke’s case. On top of that, they’re dressed in more mature versions of their own looks from the original trilogy.
