Kylo Ren: Rides a stylish and well-maintained shuttle. His bois: Cruise around the galaxy in a smoking pile of junk. Conclusion: Kylo Ren is a terrible boss.
I love the fact that the Knights of Ren are pretty much raiders. Kylo being the leader is like the rich goth kid leading a band where everyone else has scrappy instruments while Kylo gets the best stuff daddy bought him
LMAO!!! Yeah, Kylo’s parents give him $$$ to shop @ HOT TOPIC while the Knights’ parents give them school lunch $$$ and they use it to shop GOODWILL for used, black clothing.
well technically kylo actually took over from their original leader ren, so it’s more like a hardcore bands frontman getting kicked out and replaced by some rich brat 😂
The fact that toxic fumes were coming out of the engines makes it seem hodgepodge and evil / powerful simultaneously. It really suits the Knights of Ren
The Knights of Ren ship seems like something that these fanatics would used. That considering that this was formerly a prisoner ship shows us that perhaps they were prisoners or maybe they were taking children for the Fist Order. The Knights of REN could have used more than one ship, I still see them using other ships like the Tie Fighters of the First Order to do individual mission.
The Night Buzzard is my favorite ship from the sequel trilogy and the Knights of Ren are my favorite part of the sequel trilogy despite how under-utilized they were. I do hope they get their chance to shine in a future show. I love the concept of them and their unique designs. The Night Buzzard itself looks so cool, like an armor-plated space hearse and I like the smokey effect of the engines.
If it's a prison planet stuck out in the middle of the Unknown Regions, it's probably meant to be the Alcatraz/San Quentin of the Star Wars Galaxy (or Rura Penthe, as another example). It probably held quite a few prisoners that had friends with the pocket money and interest in busting them out.
The explanation for the smoke was interesting and makes sense, but watching TROS I could just imagine the corporate meeting room where a designer is taking heat for not making the bad guy ship look more obviously evil, going "fine, what if we make black smoke come out the back even though no other ship in the movies do that" and the execs going "holy shit what a good idea they are gonna look so damn evil, lets go get steaks"
They probably will. Lego has so far released 4 knights of ren and this ship is the perfect opportunity to release the last 2 with a couple of first order troopers or something.
i think they should have been introduced towards the end of TFA, they should have been the ones to recover Kylo after he was wounded by Rey perhaps having a short battle where by sheer numbers they over power her and force her to run away. ultimately they needed more screen time, some actual vocal lines and some back story, thankfully we have these books to fill in the gaps.
Although this ship slightly looks cool, if you know about the Knights of Rens' Flagship from Colin Trevorrow's unreleased script (Episode 9 Duel of The Fates), which is called the Knife-9, then you'd know that the Knife-9 makes the Night Buzzard even worse than Jabba's Sail Barge.
The basic lines of the ship are actually quite nice, although to me they speak to a larger ship I'd like to see a ~300-400 meter ship using a similar hull form and engine layout, but with bilateral symmetry for the systems and a more respectable paint job. I'm thinking either a pearl white with race stripes and /or some nice aztecing and dazzle camo.
Knights of Ren must be the silliest group of antagonists ever put to film, let alone Star Wars. They are a prime assasin group, after which the main villain of the trilogy is named after.... And they only appear in the last part of trilogy, and all they do is walk into shots menacingly and later get beaten up by one guy. All dressed in useless Iron Maiden gear, and fighting with mediavel weaponry (not even vibro/plasma blades, like Snoke's guards did), in the world, where blaster guns and invincible laser swords exist. Whooooooh, the horror.
They fucked this trilogy. If they were to have a real role they needed to be in 8. Squeezing them in to the last movie is just another blunder. They weren’t in 8, blame Rian so be it, but JJ should have just left the “knights of ren” as a throwaway line to be explored in other media rather than shoehorning them in at the last second. Love or hate TLJ it was canon and JJ just trying to make his own trilogy in the back half just screwed everything up more than TLJ did. He should have just followed TLJ’s lead and go from there and make good on those story beats and characters.
I'm sorry, did you actually expect anything more from them? I haven't even watched the movie yet and I'm not surprised one bit. Leave it to Disney to build someone up like they are some big deal and have them die like nothing.
They were never built up though. Mentioned in one line in TFA, certainly throwaway material, and then weren’t mentioned or seen in TLJ. Why they were put into IX just to be pointless background characters is as baffling as wasting Gwendoline Christie on the absurd non-character of Phasma.
In Expanded Universe lore how strong and durable was Mandalorian armor and how effective would it be against real life weapons lile 50 cal, rocket launcher, and anti tank weaponry?
Thor's Hammer why don’t you google it? Beskar steel is some of the most durable material in the Star Wars universe. Why else would it be so prized and sought after? Use your head, man.
Beskar is strong, It can survive high end star wars universe sniper rounds. I'm sure it'll stop a .50 call round but it'll definitely put the person down on the ground from impact, probably internal bleeding and organ failure.
I think it makes sense Kylo defeated them so easily. I just wish the fight was a tad longer and they did just a little more throughout the film instead of standing around. Trugeon is my favorite. I like his giant meat cleaver.
When you said that it makes a heavy amount of smoke from the engines, then it made me think of Arcadia from the 3D computer version movie of Space pirate Captain harlock
Ummm, what about the underside firing arc? Actually pretty important when you're anywhere near a planets surface - where all of your ground based targets and threats will be. And in space a undefended belly is a prime target.
Anurag Sutradhar buy the visual dictionary. That’s where all their background info is. Or just use Wookiepedia. Not like there is an abundance of sources to pull from.
Nope the Knights of Ren are actually working for Qi'Ra and Crimson Dawn in the new Crimson Reign comic they've actually been around the whole time, go figure 🙄, during the rule of the Empire and she just hired them to break into Darth Vader's Castle to steal a powerful weapon LOL at least someone's having fun with them because they were wasted in the movies.
In 2000 BBY in the Expanded Universe what caused the Dark Age some people talk about that it set the entire galaxy back by thousands of years? What happened and how did it effect all the civilizations in the galaxy? Was it that bad where it was like Fallout where everything was a wasteland or something? How bad was it truly and what caused it?
The Essential Guide to Warfare and Essential Atlas add a fair bit of detail. But we've only had full stories toward the end of the dark age so far though.
You know.... maybe it's for the best the Sith Star Destroyer was just a copy/paste of the Victory II ISD.... Because I don't think a single original design in the entire Disney era of Star Wars hasn't looked like shit. (Except maybe the Mon Cal capital ships and Resurgent).
Wow the Knights of Ren had mild force abilities? It's almost like they could have been Luke's former students that joined with Ben. Too bad all that got thrown out...

Slight correction, “oublier” is French for “to forget.” Oubliette just takes its root word from that verb

Nothing like rolling coal in your stolen prison bus.

I just really wish those thick smoke contrails hadn’t been in space. That was dumb
Wish they had a bigger role in TROS instead of well.... doing nothing but look menacing and die at the climax

Knights of Ren should switch to something more eco friendly. I honestly thought its engines were on fire.
They’re sycophants, psychopaths, evil, and obsessed with the Sith. No offence, but I doubt they care about the environment
They could just use the new force heal power to fix the enviornment

I don't care how edgy it looks. If I was to play a Star Wars RPG and this ship was an option for me, I'd take it.
I love the thought of all the Knights of Ren working together to paint and customize their ship :)
The explanation for the smoke was interesting and makes sense, but watching TROS I could just imagine the corporate meeting room where a designer is taking heat for not making the bad guy ship look more obviously evil, going "fine, what if we make black smoke come out the back even though no other ship in the movies do that" and the execs going "holy shit what a good idea they are gonna look so damn evil, lets go get steaks"
This would make a cool hero ship in Battlefront 2.
And I think it's main ability would be 2 aimbot cannons
Pity the Knights of Ren are about as intimidating as Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition... about as unexpected as well.
Hopefully Lego will release a set of this ship in the near future and I hope they do because it’s absolutely gorgeous
They probably will. Lego has so far released 4 knights of ren and this ship is the perfect opportunity to release the last 2 with a couple of first order troopers or something.
Epidemic well I would be over the moon if they did
They actually revealed images of it. Doesn’t look too bad but could’ve been longer and more sleek(and my god is it overpriced).
This ship reminds me of a Helghast Cruiser.
I love it.
Or Daedalus class from Stargate 😂😂
"The.. Knights of Ren?"
Ah yes, the emo goth clique of the Star Wars universe.
You forget about the Nightsisters
Edge Lords
The engines sound like the Reavers of Firefly. Similar idea.
They said the Reavers don't exist, they layed.
The Knights Of Ren were underwhelming for me.
They should have at least introduced them in TLJ. Lucasfilm have no plans, no prototype, and no backup.
i think they should have been introduced towards the end of TFA, they should have been the ones to recover Kylo after he was wounded by Rey perhaps having a short battle where by sheer numbers they over power her and force her to run away. ultimately they needed more screen time, some actual vocal lines and some back story, thankfully we have these books to fill in the gaps.
If they were in TLJ, Kylo may have to kill them to stop them defending Snoke...
@@TruePacifist201 I like the profile pic. :) #rwby
Tbh the whole new star wars was underwhelming to me. So much potential wasted.
Well if the ship is as developed and powerful as the Knights it won’t have life support, shield or weapons.
It looks similar to a BC-304 Daedalus class ship from Stargate
Although this ship slightly looks cool, if you know about the Knights of Rens' Flagship from Colin Trevorrow's unreleased script (Episode 9 Duel of The Fates), which is called the Knife-9, then you'd know that the Knife-9 makes the Night Buzzard even worse than Jabba's Sail Barge.

I was kind of surprised to see the knights of Ren not using Inquisitor type Light Sabers.
You always get these videos so fast, it's amazing
Oh this is really cool. I liked the peaks of it that we got in ROS and it looks even more cool in detail.

Yeah they were like all hype and then when they needed to perform they fell to pieces.
Personally I don't consider this Disney shit sequel trilogy canon.
The yuuzhan Vong > the first/final order
Admiral thrawn > hux the cuck
I was thinking that the thick smoke generated by the engines may have been modified purposely to make the ship appear more menacing, as a fear tactic
More like the Knights of Pointless. The Knights of Ni were more threatening.
What are they doing with the ship from Battlestar Galactica, anyhow?
A criminally unused group in a trilogy full of criminally unused ideas.
They missed a golden opportunity to call it the Shockwave, considering it looks like Fall of Cybertron Shockwave's alt-mode
I'm guessing that would be a trademark violation.
Oh my god it does! How did I not see that before!? Fall of Cybertron is one of my all-time favorite games!
If the eye of sauron was a ship it would be this right here
The eye was never a thing in LOTR.

Only a Jawa Shorter!!!??? Huh. Thought it be bigger lol 😂 jkjk
I think it makes sense Kylo defeated them so easily. I just wish the fight was a tad longer and they did just a little more throughout the film instead of standing around. Trugeon is my favorite. I like his giant meat cleaver.
So the knights of ren are essentially in a blacked out heavily modified rolling coal truck. Where as kylo ren drives a blacked out BMW.
It's alright, I guess. I like how its engines let out a trail of smoke, even in space.
The knife 9 in the Treverrow script was much cooler. Both in design and usage.
So sad it scrapped...
Loved how it belched smoke
It’s so cool and so them. Love how it had Smokey engines dirty engines.
When you said that it makes a heavy amount of smoke from the engines, then it made me think of Arcadia from the 3D computer version movie of Space pirate Captain harlock
Their theme is one of my favorites!!!
This ship looked awesome, especially with the smoke
The Falcon's modifications have more thought put into them than this.
There literally isn't a single thing about the KoR that isn't cool. But they waste them in the trilogy :(
When you see this ship, you know some cool guys are going to..... walk around a bit and do nothing
Ummm, what about the underside firing arc?
Actually pretty important when you're anywhere near a planets surface - where all of your ground based targets and threats will be.
And in space a undefended belly is a prime target.

What about the underside of the ship is it protected in any way ?
They need their own tv series or movie (for tv not theaters).
