Ro was an officer in the starfleet of the Galactic Empire who fought in the Galactic Civil War. By the time of the First Order, Ro's prowesses had passed into history, and the commemorative armbands worn by sergeants of the First Order's military bore the officer's name in Aurebesh.[1] General Hux's monitor wore a uniform with the officer's name on it,[2] designating her as a sergeant.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The name Ro first appears on a commemorative armband in the 2015 reference book Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary.[1] The name seems to be a reference to Ro, the son of costume designer Glyn Dillon,[3] who worked on the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.[4] Similarly, "Hal," the name on another commemorative armband,[1] seems to be a reference to Dillon's other son, who is called Hal.[3]
