Fans ofStar Warsare count the days untilThe Rise of Skywalker , when the mysterious Knights of Ren finally get their hazard to appear in glorious combat . But one of the most nagging questions surroundingKylo Ren ’s disguise warriorshas been answered out front of fourth dimension : Yes , the Knights of Ren are Force users . formally .
There are sure to be manyStar Warsviewers , if not most , who have always assumed that to be the case . After all , what would make Kylo Ren ’s seemingly elect group of followers any deadly or awful First Order force , unless they could use the ways of the Force to defeat their opponent ? But after their appearance ina single visual modality of Rey ’s inStar warfare : The Force Awakens , no answer pursue . They were leave out fromThe Last Jedicompletely , so their replication along with manager J.J. Abrams forThe Rise of Skywalkerwas a massive relief . And now that it ’s clear Lucasfilm really did n’t block all about them , their connexion and command of the Force is the next mystery solved .
The long await clarification is going to have fans wonder why it was n’t explained earlier , since the false starting of the Knights of Ren reveal inThe Force Awakensended up generating anticipation , excitation , surmise , and mistaken Revelation all on its own . When Lucasfilm refused to explain the nature of the group to lore athirst devotee , misinformation and confusion filled the vacuity instead . Why did they use conventional weapon instead of lightsabers ? Where did they come from ? Even their accurate species has seemed less and less probable to ever be answer . But the first details aboutThe Rise of Kylo Rencomic record has prove how wrong those assumptions really were .
Due to their vernacular epithet , it was assumed that the masked fighters were somehow either forgather and name by Kylo Ren himself , or live as lesser followers of Snoke until Ben Solo became their drawing card . That was shot down when official cite claimed the Knights existedbeforeBen Solo ’s fall . A single personal line of credit of dialogue from Luke Skywalker inThe Last Jedisuggested they had once been his other bookman at his fledgling Jedi Academy … until it was reveal thatLuke ’s other students sought revenge on Ben Solo , believing he had vote out their instructor . And as fans call for one account after another , only to have them shot down or refuted by Lucasfilm , patience wear down thin .
There ’s a fount to be made that Lucasfilm didn’twantto confirm or abnegate the Knights of Ren ’s Force abilities or constitution at the metre , because there was no account resolve on yet . Calling them " followers of the dark side " or " dark Force warrior " is obscure enough to keep pick receptive . But in speaking withStarWars.comabout his upcomingStar war : The Rise of Kylo Renorigin comical ( from which the above reveal originates ) , author Charles Soule has at long last etch the truth in stone :
They can all practice the Force , the dark side of the Force , to vary degrees . They ’re not as powerful as a Jedi or a Sith , but they use it when they fight … . They have some sorting of a code , like a motorcycle gang , but it ’s not detailed . They ’re flexible … Mostly they ’re just kind of out to live their biography the way they require to live them and take what the galaxy will give them and feed what the dark side sends .
So there you have it . The Knights of Ren are n’t Force followers , or Force sensitives , buttrueForce Users . And with that enigma solved , readers can focus all the more on the material point in time of Soule ’s story : how Ben Solo tragically became Kylo Ren .
In the past , fans might not have expected a tie - in comical book to explain such important , valuable character work or exposition for a series as in high spirits visibility asStar Wars . But fans have long wrestle with the fact thatthe finalStar Warsmovie of this raw trilogycould only serve so many dubiousness , and complete so many stories . Those who knowStar Warscomics recognize Soule can be confide to do Kylo Ren ’s origin history justice . Which means the material prevision can lead off , waiting to see how Soule and creative person Will Sliney will show the Knights of Ren wielding the Force in a fight , regard their range of melee weapon system , blades , and heavy firearms .
