- "I have something for you. Roken found it before we got out. She would have wanted you to have it."
"It's empty."
"Well, I wasn't gonna give you a blaster, Leia. You're ten years old. But you won't always be." - ―Obi-Wan Kenobi gifting young Leia Organa with Tala Durith's holster
Holsters were accessories used to carry weapons, typically blaster pistols.[1] During the High Republic Era, the Jedi Order used lightsaber holsters.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Holsters first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the first installment of the Star Wars original trilogy.[3]
In the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, the propmakers were assigned with designing a holster that could fit young Leia Organa and the adult Tala Durith. Propmaster Brad Elliott found this to be challenging because of the actors' height differences and it had to hold Lola, Organa's droid, and Durith's SE-14r blaster. Durith's holster was designed as a drop holster. For Organa, the team took the drop portion off of the gun belt and it fit her perfectly. To fill the space needed to accommodate Lola, a Han Solo-style scope was added to Durith's blaster.[4]
