Oro-weave

Oro-weave was a gold-colored, metal-like material that could be used to fashion clothing and jewelry, including bracelets. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the individual called Ox-Herder facilitated hauling oro-weave that was a profitable venture for smugglers, and the pirate Hondo Ohnaka at one point had a fine oro-weave vest that was eventually seized as loot by the pirate captain Gunda Mabin. By 34 ABY, General Leia Organa of the Resistance possessed an oro-weave bracelet. That year, she wore it around the time of the evacuation of the Resistance base on the planet D'Qar, and a year later, she also wore the bracelet up until her death on the moon Ajan Kloss.

==History==
===Smugglers and pirates===
Oro-weave was valuable enough during the reign of the Galactic Empire that the individual known as Ox-Herder, who could be contacted at the Trappist cantina on Guildhead's Way on the Core Worlds planetMoving Target: A Princess Leia Adventure Chandrila, facilitated its smuggling. At one point by 10 BBY,According to Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, Gunda Mabin and Platt Okeefe made their respective entries in the Smuggler's Guide at some point between the establishment of the Galactic Empire and Lando Calrissian losing ownership of the Millennium Falcon, which corresponds to the time period between 19 BBY and 10 BBY according to Star Wars: Timelines. the smuggler Platt Okeefe made a record in the logbook known as the Smuggler's Guide in which she listed the hauling of oro-weave cargoes—with the assistance of Ox-Herder—as a profitable venture for smugglers.
At some point between 19 BBY and 10 BBY, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka had in his possession a fine oro-weave vest with a nerf-wool trim. That piece of clothing was subsequently among the loot seized by the Blazing Claw pirate captain Gunda Mabin, who listed the taken items in the Smuggler's Guide that had also thus fallen into her hands.
===The jewelry of a princess===
By 34 ABY,The flashback in Poe Dameron 28 depicting Leia Organa with an oro-weave bracelet is set between the Hosnian Cataclysm and the Battle of D'Qar, which translates to 34 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines. General Leia Organa,Poe Dameron 28 the human princess of the destroyed Core Worlds planet Alderaan and the leader of the Resistance,Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition possessed an oro-weave bracelet. It took the form of multiple thin, curved threads that all wrapped around the better part of her wrist. Organa wore the bracelet on her right arm, along with a pair of aurodium earrings and several golden signet rings with inset gemstones, and in tandem with an Alderaanian mourning braid hairstyle and a dark gray attire. That year, the general wore that outfit not long after ordering the evacuation of the Resistance base on the Outer Rim Territories planet D'Qar in light of news of an impending arrival of a First Order force there.
She subsequently boarded the main Resistance capital ship, the cruiser Raddus, that—after a battle against the First Order warship Fulminatrix took place above D'Qar—fled to the Outer Rim's Oetchi system.Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy There—while still wearing the same outfit, including the oro-weave bracelet—Organa suffered serious injuries and exposure to the vacuum of space after another First Order attack. She was subsequently placed on life support after being changed into a patient's gown, with the bracelet taken off her wrist. After Organa later regained consciousness, she wore a different bracelet on the same arm.

==Behind the scenes==
Oro-weave was first depicted as the material of a bracelet worn by Leia Organa in Katie Cook'sArt of Coloring: Star Wars: Keepsake Coloring Book cover illustration of Cook's Art of Coloring: Star Wars: Keepsake Coloring Book, which was published on September 1, 2017. The cover illustration was first revealed at San Diego Comic-Con on July 21 of the same year, and it was featured in a corresponding article on StarWars.com also published on that day. The illustration was based on Organa's look in the sequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which released on December 15, 2017. That same date also saw the publication of Pablo Hidalgo's reference book Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, which identified oro-weave by name.Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary Before the release of The Last Jedi, the first full appearance of the oro-weave bracelet—albeit in holographic form—came with Battlefront II: Resurrection,Star Wars Battlefront II a December 13 downloadable single-player story mode addition for the November 17, 2017Star Wars Year By Year: A Visual History, New Edition DICE video game Star Wars Battlefront II.
The twenty-eighth issue of Marvel Comics's Star Wars: Poe Dameron comic-book series, which was written by Charles Soule, penciled by Angel Unzueta, and published on June 20, 2018, erroneously depicted Organa wearing the oro-weave bracelet on her left arm in one panel. Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy, a reference book written by Amy RatcliffeStar Wars: Women of the Galaxy and published on October 30, 2018, included an illustration by Karen Hallion that shares similarities with a promotional photo of Organa from The Last Jedi. The latter image portrays the general during the events of The Last JediStar Wars: The Last Jedi – The Official Collector's Edition following her regaining consciousness, with her wearing a bracelet that is different to the oro-weave one she wears during the earlier portion of the film. Hallion's illustration, however, depicts Organa wearing her oro-weave bracelet—despite both pictures depicting her in the clothing she wears during the film's later portion. This article treats the Women of the Galaxy illustration as non-canonical with respect to Organa's in-universe biography.
