When Are We Ever Going To Meet The Knights Of Ren?
The Knights of Ren were one of the biggest mysteries of The Force Awakens. Kylo Ren was said to be their master and we briefly saw the squad in Rey’s Force flashback when she picks up Luke’s lightsaber for the first time. Other than that, though, no further explanation of them was offered.
In The Last Jedi, the Knights remarkably feature even less. Again, Kylo’s title as their master is referenced, but they still don’t appear. However, we do get a hint at who they are. Luke explains to Rey that Kylo slaughtered half of the students of his Jedi academy and took the other half with him when he left to side with Snoke.
We’re going to go out on a limb at say that these other students became Kylo’s Knights. If so, though, you’d think we’d have encountered these Jedis-in-training who have turned to the Dark Side before. Presumably, they’re being saved to really up the stakes in Episode IX.
