ST The Knights of Ren in Episode 9

Discussion in 'Sequel Trilogy' started by dlbates, Dec 13, 2017.

?

Do you believe we will see the Knights of Ren in the movies beyond the flashback from TFA?

  1. They will play a large roll in IX

  2. They will be seen in IX but only briefly, and possibly in another flashback

  3. They will not be seen, but will be mentioned in IX

  4. We have heard the last of the Knights of Ren. Not even a mention in IX.

Results are only viewable after voting.

    Who takes them out? Finn and Jannah? Would show Finn has truly come into his own if he at least takes out a couple KoR in the end battle.

    That would be delightfully wholesome if Finn takes them out for drinks.

    I have a feeling that all six won't make it to the finale and even then they will be with Rey, Kylo and Palpatine (in the Sith Temple) and not on the SSD.

    Finn stomping a KoR in combat would be awesome. Really hoping those guys are more bark than bite, just non-force users who believe in all the religious mumbo-jumbo, like an "Evil Church Of The Force" type of deal, San Tekka's opposite number. Somehow that's way more interesting, personally, and if it's the case it'd be awesome having Finn/Poe/whoever get a chance to waste a couple of 'em.

    Kinda figuring with the reports of Ben taking them on at some point they probably are forcies, though. Schmeh.

    I really can't see the KoR making it to the final battle and the confrontation with Sidious either.

    It really seems like the Knights of Ren aren't Luke's former students. If that's the case then it begs the question where are they? Are they still alive? Could they be found and become Jedi in stories set after TROS? If so then the foundation for the new Jedi Order is still laid by Luke Skywalker.

    Can't see them living through this, personally, but that's an interesting take. ^ Could be they outlive Ben.

    Snoke may have eventually had them killed like the other force sensitives that the First Order was killing just like the Empire did.

    These Knights of Ren are probably more in the mold of a Jango Fett except for Kylo and just really skilled fighters.

    Maybe. It just seems odd that they'd mention a handful of students that apparently survived the massacre only to kill them off later. If they became the Knights of Ren it makes sense but if they didn't then I have to think they had a different plan for them. Otherwise why not just say Kylo killed all of them?

    I hope the KOR take off their masks at some point and we get to see them as humanized characters. Not holding my breath for it, as I haven't seen any casting rumors to suggest it, but who knows. Abrams is known for holding surprises close to the chest.

    It would be a terrible waste of the only real difference between the Knights of Ren and the Praetorian Guard wound up being some small difference in fighting styles and costumes.

    I want characters, not stuntmen.

    Think I'd almost prefer them not take off the masks, keep some mystery about them.

    I definitely need some lines and personality from them though. Shouldn't just be elite background "troopers", feel we need some conversing between them and Ben.

    Good to finally have confirmed that the knights of ren are not the jedi students. They more like a gang of sith acolytes.

    Even if the KOR existed prior to Kylo's betrayal of Luke, the students could still be apart of it. Maybe Kylo and the other evil students (The new Secrets of the Jedi novel does state that Kylo killed all the students that wouldn't join him on the Dark Side which means that the ones he left with must've went dark aswell) joined the KOR together? Luke did say that Kylo left with a handful of his students, a handful would be 5 at most. Then if you add Kylo that would make them 6 at most which leaves out 1 member. I think it's possible that Kylo got maybe 3 other students on his side and then 4 of them together the KOR. With the other 3 members having already been there from the start.

    Personally, the KOR are more like Inquisitors 2.0 for me. I also hope there are some women in this group because SW desperately needs more female villains other than Ventress.

    They can't really win on that front - chances are they're probably gonna die, so the criticism would just flip to "Disney Star Wars has an ethical problem with introducing strong female villains only to kill them off soonafter" type of thing.

    It'd be cool if some of them are women, they sort of don't seem to be from the physical builds though. In any case, the ST's been way better with having female pilots & troopers and stuff than the others did.

    Yep you would think he didn't just throw that in there for no reason. If they are dead its probably more than just Snoke deciding to kill them off. Maybe if they arent part of them we will find out some are like the Inquisitors or something like that.
