Remember that one scene where Rey and her friends fought with the Knights of Ren, showing us how powerful, skilled, and terrifying they are? Or those other scenes where we get a little glimpse of their personalities and their relationship with Kylo Ren? Yeah, that was a nice parallel reality
In Duel of the Fates, Rey uses force lightning on one of them after Poe gets injured, and it actually makes sense and still is a shocking dark side moment instead of a cheap way to tie Rey to Palpatine
The Knights of Ren are another classic example of how JJ is really good at setting up interesting looking story lines and exceptionally bad at making them actually interesting.
Bruno Oh yes, I know about that, I was talking about the concept art from before. It would have been good to see them with sabers but it just seems like it was an abandoned aspect. But yes you’re correct on that. It’s agreeable though that it seemed like a waste of time and resource to water down such characters with high potential. I guess that’s what I meant. (By past I also meant concepts and development)
What fans wanted: badasses with lightsabers. What we ended up being given: a bunch of space thugs with axes, scythes and guns. God these guys are so wasted. At least Phasma actually had lines whereas these guys don't say shit
@@brunocav8223 In "The Last Jedi" didn't Luke say Kylo took a few of his students with him? I thought that's what I heard him say. Obviously that comic book you speak of contradicts Rian Johnsons movie.
@@88detour He did. Ben took Voe, a Quarren Jedi and a bald Jedi (I forgot their names) to an Old Jedi Temple. They were the only survivors of Luke's Jedi Order. However Ben killed Voe and the Quarren and Ren (not Kylo Ren, just Ren) killed the bald Jedi
The Knights of Ren had so much potential as a new dark order: they could’ve been an evil reflection of the Jedi in a different way than the Sith. An order of warriors with a twisted code of honor and knighthood, but still under the mark of the Dark Side. Instead they just made them some c-list marauders who are basically employed by Sidious as a lesser version of the Inquisitors.
After the Force Awakens the Knights were a new group Kylo Ren founded to replace both the Jedi and Sith but no Disney combined them with the original trilogy making the look trash

0:50-1:00 They really filmed 10 seconds of dudes just standing on a fucking rock with random music playing in the backround. Unintentionally the funniest thing Ive seen all week.
@Pablo PerazaA story no director of the sequels would tell you. -Palpatine turns towards Anakin Maybe if you'll find out if you buy the added material.
Remember when people were freaking out over the Knights of Ren before The Force Awakens even came out? Took 3 movies to even see them and were never explained
I watched these scenes at 0.25 speed and I found that when Ben was killing them, I counted that he killed Trudgen twice, once by cutting the back of his head and again by stabbing him through the chest, that just goes to show how poor choreography the sequels have
I’m sure he could have handled it if he directed Last Jedi and not just Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker but you know how Star Wars fans are right now. Completely unsatisfied with anything that isn’t Clone Wars or Mandalorian.
@Salmon Same could be said for a number of Star Wars groups with cool designs but little to no story involvement, I'm pretty sure they were set for future material.
The Screenslaver Nah, they’re a group of slightly force-sensitive warriors who emerged post-ROTJ. They “joined” Ben after he killed their former leader, the original Ren.
I went through shot for shot of that scene and I think that there is a very slight possibility that between 1 and 3 of the knights could’ve lived. Trugden, Ushar, and Cardo definitely died. It looked like Vicrul was downed but the stab wound was more in his shoulder than his chest, still hard to tell, could’ve been his heart. I didn’t see any clear shots of Kuruk’s body, but with Ben’s opening slash jump he cuts somebody across their broadside, could’ve been Kursk but it looked more like Cardo, unclear what happened to him. And Aplek was just thrown off that ledge, but even without his axe to catch the ledge he is still force sensitive and it isn’t super clear the implications of falling down that crevice, and seeing as Ben was thrown down there and survived, i bet aplek could’ve as well. The point is probably mute and I doubt we’ll ever see them post TROS, but if they really wanted to, they could follow a story following at least Aplek if not the others post Exegol if Lucasfilm really wanted to. Edit: we see Kuruk’s limp body in the shot where he jumps over and kills Cardo, so he’s likely dead, but I didn’t see any obvious slash marks on his body. Vicrul’s body falls pretty limp it looks, but he kind of bounces off the ground so it’s possible he was just down but not dead. Probably just wishful thinking but one can hope :)
I was thinking this too. Trudgen got cut up pretty good if I remember, but Cardo was barely cut. Also one thing, it was Ushar who got stabbed at the end after Kylo jumped.
When they’re standing on that rock on Pasaana, with the camera circling around them, and their theme plays, it’s so damn menacing. I wish they weren’t wasted.
@@undulycriticalobserver2510 It was transferred over by Rey due to the whole dyad thing. Still I don't know why he thought getting rid of his crossgaurd lightsaber was a good idea. He should have kept it.
@@seasons1745 force bonds were a thing in star wars way before rey. Ahsoka is also a Mary sue and everyone loves her. The issue with rey is they just didnt give her a good story, simple as that.
I watched Lord of the rings for the first time months after the rise of Skywalker came out. And the nazgul were everything I wanted the knights of ren to be. A constant threat.
Debatable. They got taken off the board halfway through Fellowship of The Ring. They show up in the last half hour of Two Towers. And only one had any substantial presence in Return of the King.
The part where the stormtroopers are just casually talking about the knights of ren shows how much the first order isn’t threatening. No one in the empire said “cool its vader”. Everyone was silent and stood at attention whenever Vader entered. How are you supposed to be an evil, tyrannical force when not even your subordinates fear you
The first order/final order was nothing like the Empire. The Imperials had structure and order. That's why they survived for such a long time. In the First Order, even though they had better trained soldiers, you could tell there was a massive power struggle and they had no clear military direction. Their egos got the best of them in the end.
Out of everything within the sequel trilogy I was most excited to see more of The Knights of Ren. I’m still super pissed off that Rian Johnson never used them, the potential there would have been incredible!
@@luccirobbins6675 yees. the one who carries the big blade on his shoulder is Trudgen. the one withe small scythe is Vicrul. the one with the axe is Applek. the one with the sniper rifle is Kuruk. the one with the arm canon is Cardo and the last with the vibroclub is Ushar
Kuroiishi Productions nice! I usually know my Star Wars lore but while watching The Last Jedi, I forgot all about the Knights Of Ren, then they showed up in this movie and I was like, “Oh yeah.”
A.D.D Entertainment The Praetorian Guards would win. They seem to be more skilled and better trained than the Knights. Plus their armor is more durable than the clothes the Knights wear which look like common badass street wear (at least in the Star Wars universe). Also their weapons seem to be lightsaber like unlike the Knights weapons which appear to be normal badass weapons. Plus they have more adrenaline than the Knights because their armor is designed (much like Darth Vader’s suit) to keep them in a constant state of pain.
Why are the Knights of Ren armed with knives and axes? And not with blasters or a device that could deflect lightsabers? They really put their foot in their mouth when they were going against kylo Ren. They should have already knew what he was capable of!
@@idark9492 they didn't break because they were made out of metal! What weapons like that are going to do any good if you're going against a person that could force choke you to death or have a lightsaber that could cut through you like butter?
@@thatoneshortboi I have to admit that Boba didn't do a whole lot in the movies but at least he was memorable and doesn't need two stormtroopers to tell you who he is.
Not SCPBrix he wasn’t memorable. He had 3 lines in the whole trilogy. And not to mention he was only popular because kids loved the toy that was being marketed after empire strikes back. The kids had to say he was cool. The troopers had to say the knights were cool
@@kingoffriesthekingwillrise1701 I blame JJ Abrams. He tried to make a lazy remake of the Original Trilogy and it made the whole thing a bad pointless nostalgia fanfic
What I think is hilarious is that the wiki on these guys talk them up so much on how they are badasses, and at the end of each of the knights wiki page it says "despite this Ben solo easily kills him with a simple slash"
Why is no one pointing out how the Knights Of Ren just out of nowhere decides to fight Kylo Ren??? He was literally looking for Rey... then he got abandoned on the Death Star, only to come back thanks to a stranded Tie Fighter, and out of nowhere the Knights Of Ren just wants to kill Kylo for no reason?? Did anyone of the First Order even know that Kylo had changed sides? This just makes no sense..
I think Palpatine sensed that Kylo turned to the light side because he tells general pryde, "The princess of alderaan has disrupted my plan" likely referring to how Leia redeemed Ben. He probably then ordered the Knights to kill Ben.
@@dill1332 But even that doesn't make sense, cuz from what I heard that the knights of ren are only loyal to ren no matter what, I read it up somewhere, and I think STAR WARS THEORY guy mentioned that too, so idk still confuse at this
Knights of Ren: “Oh yeah! We so bad! We gonna kill your punk ass, Kylo!” *Kylo gets weapon* Knights of Ren: “Oh no, a lightsaber! Our one weakness!” ..... How did these guys wipe out Luke’s school of Jedi again?
BagelBramble Gee, I dunno, a vision in Force Awakens showing them killing Jedi? Or rather, Kylo shanking one from behind while they stood around him. But I kinda got the impression they were the helping. But y’know what? You’re right, I’m giving them too much credit, and I honestly don’t care enough to ask “So what the fuck did the Knights of a Ren contribute?” or “So who killed Luke’s students?”
2:20 Kylo: "think i'll just take a breather and offer them up my entire back section to aim at" Knights of Ren: "better hit the only part of his body guarded by this lightsaber"
Director: Congratulations! You've been selected to be a Knight of Ren in Rise of Skywalker, one of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy. Actor: That's fantastic! When do I get the script? Director: You don't really need one....
Man godzilla havin little screen time made the film intriguing like cloverfield, then had an absolute BADASS final battle. Then in the sequel he got a lot more screen time.
Plot Twist: The Knights of Ren WERE Force-Sensitive all along, Rey Skywalker and Ben Solo don’t know it yet. Their weapons were all powered by Kyber crystals, which were used to make lightsabers.
@@MR.ICE. Disney never hyped them up, they weren't in any lore except for a concept art book for the first Sequel that explained they trained alongside Kylo, literally nothing else. Fans just liked the concept art and hyped them up for years because their edgy ass wouldnt let the inquisitors go.

Remember when people were freaking out over the Knights of Ren before The Force Awakens even came out? Took 3 movies to even see them and were never explained
They were way weaker than those generic red guys in the second movie.
@@ColonelCarnage When i saw episode 8 i thought the red guys are the knight of ren

Stormtrooper: The Knights of Ren, Ghouls.
Fans: What??
@@bilbobeutlin3319 Rian actually left them out of Last Jedi so that they wouldn’t just die fighting Rey and Kylo. But JJ did it anyway
I watched these scenes at 0.25 speed and I found that when Ben was killing them, I counted that he killed Trudgen twice, once by cutting the back of his head and again by stabbing him through the chest, that just goes to show how poor choreography the sequels have

“Coool”

I’m sure he could have handled it if he directed Last Jedi and not just Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker but you know how Star Wars fans are right now. Completely unsatisfied with anything that isn’t Clone Wars or Mandalorian.
@@thescreenslaver8520 To be fair they did as much as Boba Fett did, the only difference being the Knights actually fought.
Cameron J. Nunléy
Exactly they’re not as useless as they say. At least they did something.
@Salmon Same could be said for a number of Star Wars groups with cool designs but little to no story involvement, I'm pretty sure they were set for future material.
What about Enfys Nest? She had a cool design and contributed to the story.
Even though nothing really exciting happened with them, the scene at 0:49 is so badass!
Out of context it looks like they're stuck and confused on how to get down
Looks like something Michael Bay would do, "Let's have them look confused on a mountain top while we do some passes with the helicopter"
Captain Phasma and the Knights of Ren were the most hyped up underwhelming busts ever in etertainment history

As flawed as the sequels are, gotta thank Adam Driver for putting enough work to make the Kylo Ren performance entertaining.
I got excited and a little scared when the knights showed up but then they never really did anything until the end.
Do you Remembre when we thought they might be important like the last students of Luke who choosen to follow Kylo ?
They aren’t? I thought it wasn’t confirmed yet
The Screenslaver Nah, they’re a group of slightly force-sensitive warriors who emerged post-ROTJ. They “joined” Ben after he killed their former leader, the original Ren.
Actually it’s not a bad origin story there is just one tiny problem: THE MOVIE NEVER TELLS IT !!!!!!!
@@thescreenslaver8520 nah they are just a bunch of space bikers who follow kylo because he killed their previous leader
Javier Lopez
I’m strangely ok with that
0:07
Me and the boys watching our sooubway sandwiches being made
Yeh
Lol
shit this had more plot story then the knights of ren and their 2mins and 30 seconds of screen time.
Relatable
@@WakerOfTheCryingRain why yes
I went through shot for shot of that scene and I think that there is a very slight possibility that between 1 and 3 of the knights could’ve lived. Trugden, Ushar, and Cardo definitely died. It looked like Vicrul was downed but the stab wound was more in his shoulder than his chest, still hard to tell, could’ve been his heart. I didn’t see any clear shots of Kuruk’s body, but with Ben’s opening slash jump he cuts somebody across their broadside, could’ve been Kursk but it looked more like Cardo, unclear what happened to him. And Aplek was just thrown off that ledge, but even without his axe to catch the ledge he is still force sensitive and it isn’t super clear the implications of falling down that crevice, and seeing as Ben was thrown down there and survived, i bet aplek could’ve as well.
The point is probably mute and I doubt we’ll ever see them post TROS, but if they really wanted to, they could follow a story following at least Aplek if not the others post Exegol if Lucasfilm really wanted to.
Edit: we see Kuruk’s limp body in the shot where he jumps over and kills Cardo, so he’s likely dead, but I didn’t see any obvious slash marks on his body. Vicrul’s body falls pretty limp it looks, but he kind of bounces off the ground so it’s possible he was just down but not dead. Probably just wishful thinking but one can hope :)
I was thinking this too. Trudgen got cut up pretty good if I remember, but Cardo was barely cut. Also one thing, it was Ushar who got stabbed at the end after Kylo jumped.
With this comment you probably put more effort into the knights of ren than JJ or anyone at Disney.
When they’re standing on that rock on Pasaana, with the camera circling around them, and their theme plays, it’s so damn menacing. I wish they weren’t wasted.
Knights of Ren: “Let’s kill Kylo Ren with our 15th Century medieval weapons”
Kylo Ren pulls a lightsaber...
That fight scene was a literal ass pull in terms of story.
Kylo quite literally pulled the saber out of his backside.
@@undulycriticalobserver2510 It was transferred over by Rey due to the whole dyad thing. Still I don't know why he thought getting rid of his crossgaurd lightsaber was a good idea. He should have kept it.
@@Yabuturtle being dyad’s in the force is a complicated way of saying “we have admin privileges.”

@@seasons1745 force bonds were a thing in star wars way before rey. Ahsoka is also a Mary sue and everyone loves her. The issue with rey is they just didnt give her a good story, simple as that.
1:17 Such a badass entrance and great music to match it. It sucks that they were wasted.
they are like storm troopers but worse
@@dogeater3091 nah at least they did something like beat him up unlike storm troopers who died in 1 sec
I watched Lord of the rings for the first time months after the rise of Skywalker came out. And the nazgul were everything I wanted the knights of ren to be. A constant threat.
Debatable. They got taken off the board halfway through Fellowship of The Ring. They show up in the last half hour of Two Towers. And only one had any substantial presence in Return of the King.
The part where the stormtroopers are just casually talking about the knights of ren shows how much the first order isn’t threatening. No one in the empire said “cool its vader”. Everyone was silent and stood at attention whenever Vader entered. How are you supposed to be an evil, tyrannical force when not even your subordinates fear you
The first order seemed very much like a joke in all three movies but that’s a problem with the writers I think
The first order/final order was nothing like the Empire. The Imperials had structure and order. That's why they survived for such a long time. In the First Order, even though they had better trained soldiers, you could tell there was a massive power struggle and they had no clear military direction. Their egos got the best of them in the end.
Most useless characters of all time
Kinda but not really
RUclips Account Did more then boba fett and grievous combined at least lmao

Out of everything within the sequel trilogy I was most excited to see more of The Knights of Ren. I’m still super pissed off that Rian Johnson never used them, the potential there would have been incredible!
Makes the prequels look like masterpieces and the originals like gods.
at 1:38 i never noticed how Kuruk force pushed Kylo to Vicrul so he could attack him
Kuroiishi Productions niceeeee
They have names?
@@luccirobbins6675 yees. the one who carries the big blade on his shoulder is Trudgen. the one withe small scythe is Vicrul. the one with the axe is Applek. the one with the sniper rifle is Kuruk. the one with the arm canon is Cardo and the last with the vibroclub is Ushar
Kuroiishi Productions nice! I usually know my Star Wars lore but while watching The Last Jedi, I forgot all about the Knights Of Ren, then they showed up in this movie and I was like, “Oh yeah.”
So they all have individual names but they all end with Ren?
Remember when we were excited to potentially see more of the Knights Of Ren? Good times.
I was excited to see them. Wasted or not I loved them.
Thumbnail : Me and da boys with the cool sticks in the park we found
They didn't care Ben turned good, they jumped him because they were pissed they just stood around making poses for the whole movie.
Only 2 minutes of screen time?
So they were a little underused but look on the bright side they were just like Snoke’s guards. Badass looking and were part of a great fight.
A.D.D Entertainment
The Praetorian Guards would win. They seem to be more skilled and better trained than the Knights. Plus their armor is more durable than the clothes the Knights wear which look like common badass street wear (at least in the Star Wars universe). Also their weapons seem to be lightsaber like unlike the Knights weapons which appear to be normal badass weapons. Plus they have more adrenaline than the Knights because their armor is designed (much like Darth Vader’s suit) to keep them in a constant state of pain.
A.D.D Entertainment
The Knights would win mostly because of greater numbers.
A.D.D Entertainment
Thanks.
No 2:32 seconds
Shame these guys didn’t do much, these guys were the main reason I wanted to see this movie
Same here! :)
"Who are they?"
"Glorified extras."
"Knights of Ren..."
"Cool."
"Do they do anything important?"
"Not really, no."
"Not cool."
Less than 5 minutes throughout an entire trilogy. Wow...I mean, just WOW.
0:35 me and the boys trynna look scary trough them halfways but we actually weak asf
Why are the Knights of Ren armed with knives and axes? And not with blasters or a device that could deflect lightsabers? They really put their foot in their mouth when they were going against kylo Ren. They should have already knew what he was capable of!
The Angry General one of em from what I seen was force sensitive.i assume that they use those weapons because they are knights no bs lightsabers
@@idark9492 They died idiots for not having effective weapons...
The Angry General you do realize that those weren’t normal type of weapons right why did u think the tips of the blades didnt break
@@idark9492 they didn't break because they were made out of metal! What weapons like that are going to do any good if you're going against a person that could force choke you to death or have a lightsaber that could cut through you like butter?
I expected so much more of the knights of ren. They could have been totally badass. Thanks J.J.
Amazing ❤️ :)
Imagine Disney making cool and badass characters just to have them stand around doing nothing
The Boba fett effect all o er again
Schwartzbruder1 Least Boba Fett actually tracked down and got his targets captured, these guys couldn’t even do that.
Not SCPBrix *cough* *cough* Boba Fett *cough* *cough*
@@thatoneshortboi I have to admit that Boba didn't do a whole lot in the movies but at least he was memorable and doesn't need two stormtroopers to tell you who he is.
Not SCPBrix he wasn’t memorable. He had 3 lines in the whole trilogy. And not to mention he was only popular because kids loved the toy that was being marketed after empire strikes back. The kids had to say he was cool. The troopers had to say the knights were cool
All The Knights of Ren did was literally follow around the main characters like Scooby Doo villains
at least Scooby doo villains invoke fear, and in some cases, do damage
Zoiks
Its like Cake Boss. Buddy is Kylo and the other Fat guys who follow him are the Knights of Ren
I was surprised this video was this long lol
The fact that this isn't even three minutes long is just sad.
The whole trilogy is just wasted potential.
would of been redeemed if that had trevorrow's script SMH.

“Ghouls”

In this video we can see the importance of those character, and their impact in the story
Don’t forget the character development
@@eliminator1472 oh yes, I totally forgot, sorry it’s the emotion after seeing this video 😂
What I think is hilarious is that the wiki on these guys talk them up so much on how they are badasses, and at the end of each of the knights wiki page it says "despite this Ben solo easily kills him with a simple slash"
Force awakens: Badasses standing in a rainy field of corpses
Rise of Skywalker: Emo cosplayers sweating in the desert
TLJ:
At least they did it for the moneh.
Why is no one pointing out how the Knights Of Ren just out of nowhere decides to fight Kylo Ren??? He was literally looking for Rey... then he got abandoned on the Death Star, only to come back thanks to a stranded Tie Fighter, and out of nowhere the Knights Of Ren just wants to kill Kylo for no reason?? Did anyone of the First Order even know that Kylo had changed sides? This just makes no sense..
I was thinking the same thing.
well I'm just guessing since they don't give us context what so ever that they are true sith and hey ya never know maybe palps ordered them to
I think Palpatine sensed that Kylo turned to the light side because he tells general pryde, "The princess of alderaan has disrupted my plan" likely referring to how Leia redeemed Ben. He probably then ordered the Knights to kill Ben.
@@dill1332 yeah that makes sense
@@dill1332 But even that doesn't make sense, cuz from what I heard that the knights of ren are only loyal to ren no matter what, I read it up somewhere, and I think STAR WARS THEORY guy mentioned that too, so idk still confuse at this
0:26 tbh I'm more interested in the alien, elf, goblin, engineer, technician, cyborg, space chimp's backstory
Yeah! It looks like a chinp!
George lucas: how cool do you want them to be?
Adam driver: yes
They literally had no impact on the story. Like not even to the extent that one of their dead bodies makes Rey trip and drop her light saber.
Knights of Ren: “Oh yeah! We so bad! We gonna kill your punk ass, Kylo!”
*Kylo gets weapon*
Knights of Ren: “Oh no, a lightsaber! Our one weakness!”
..... How did these guys wipe out Luke’s school of Jedi again?
Ben did it alone by destroying the jedi temple with a lightning just like yoda did to the jedi archives in TLJ
He's got a board with a nail in it
End the Jedi willya?
They didn't, where tf did you get that?
BagelBramble Gee, I dunno, a vision in Force Awakens showing them killing Jedi? Or rather, Kylo shanking one from behind while they stood around him. But I kinda got the impression they were the helping. But y’know what? You’re right, I’m giving them too much credit, and I honestly don’t care enough to ask “So what the fuck did the Knights of a Ren contribute?” or “So who killed Luke’s students?”
@@Crossbones6732 he was in full kylo garb with his helmet and lightsaber, that was not at Lukes school

Knights of Ren: "better hit the only part of his body guarded by this lightsaber"
Thank you and God bless
To be honest, the Praetorian Guard felt and looked more what the Knights of Ren should have been.
Plus the required expanded screen time.
Director: Congratulations! You've been selected to be a Knight of Ren in Rise of Skywalker, one of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy.

If I was a director, I would’ve made a show about the knights of Ren
Plot Twist: The Knights of Ren WERE Force-Sensitive all along, Rey Skywalker and Ben Solo don’t know it yet. Their weapons were all powered by Kyber crystals, which were used to make lightsabers.
They were actually Force-sensitive, just badly trained, because Kylo, being a psychotic nutjob he was, had been a really bad teacher.
@@user-hz9hu4gh2z The tie-in comic released in 2019 shows that Ren - their eponymous OG leader - hadn't taught them well either.
