Why didn't Polyphemus have rings?

Actually they all all do, it's only those of Saturn that are so clearly visible.

And I think I understand why they did, I'm just complaining about it.

Anyway, if we disregard the visual cliché part, do you think that rings would be cool? And if we disregard the rings, what about just taking the Na'vi on a little journey in space?

Since I watched the film, I was disappointed by the fact that Pandora is so wonderful that there is nothing that we could show them. I mean, they even have a gas giant in the sky, there's very little left that we could show them.

We could give them a telescope, and while I'm certain that they would like it, with the atmosphere of Pandora it wouldn't show much without going into orbit, and even then it has to be enormous to show them something that could rival Pandora's night sky. The planet has no rings, so the only thing left is showing them Pandora itself.
