The Knights of Ren are endlessly devoted to their one true mission:
To stand dramatically and look cool on every planet in the galaxy, all without ever actually doing anything.
Comment of the day
Like Boba Fett in the OT?
@@hardcorebatmanfan7591 Like Phasma x6
@@G7M9W oh I just realized she wasn't in the movie what a waste.
I'm so disappointed with the entire trilogy. J.J couldn't even make the Knights of Ren cool. I'm glad it's all over now. Hoping for a brighter Star Wars future.
ben clapped them like storm troopers
President lincoln true ... didn’t even stand a change , wish we could’ve seen them more in action...
Uriel Fulgencio maybe in an animated series.
Young Money probably not , but who knows it would be nice , you never know
@@urielfulgencio5285 If the people want more of the Knights of Ren, and Disney can smell a pay-check, you can bet there's going to be an animated series about them. Would say another "The Mandalorian" somewhere later down the line, but that might be pushing it.
I bet that „Traitor“ stormtrooper would‘ve clapped their cheeks.
JJ said they’re meant to look like something you would see from *Mad Max* .
I agree. Dark Mad Max.
They sure hinted that to Will Sliney, the Ren reminded me to Humungus.
the Night Buzzard ship looks like it could be from a space mad max.
The Knights Of Ren were an interesting concept introduced in The Force Awakens. For some reason, when they’re grouped together, they remind me of the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) from LOTR, with Kylo Ren being similar to The Witch-King in this analogy, and Darth Sidious/ Palpatine being the Dark Lord Sauron. It’s a shame that they were kinda wasted in the Rise Of Skywalker.
Also, say what you will about the film, but the lore surrounding it is extremely interesting.
I really wish they were in the Last Jedi
I agree. SPOILERS I pretty much was on board with Palpatine's resurrection once the film began, even I I wished, it would have started with that message from him. Also, I liked the idea that the First Order was kind of a big destraction from the true threat, the Final Order. Similar to how in the video game Metal Gear Solid V Diamond Dogs is a huge distraction from Outer Heaven. I love how Paladine had all these contingencies. It fits him as the master schemer and also I love how we now almost know he lied to Anakin's face and did actually achieve the power to cheat death. SPOILERS END.
@@fgdj2000 why would you warn your opponent. Just surprise bang. You win.
Every time I see them, I think Nazgul. They even managed to be on an effectiveness level similar to Nazgul.
Breyerover for real though. They’re similar to how the Nazgûl looked in The Battle Of The Five Armies.
“The Knights of Ren demand a sacrifice! Bring us... a SHRUBBERY!”
This made my whole day
I'm glad we're getting to know them somehow. They were criminally underused in the movie!
sucks that they barley did anything in the movie
Like the sith troopers.
Ready,Set, Build! well we saw a bit of combat from them on the star destroyer
@@TopGuardDawg But we didn't see much of them.
Abran Amaya, I hope they get their own spin-off movie or tv series.
I have the feeling "Kylo Ren" might actually come to mean something akin to "Ren Killer". I mean, Kylo sounds a LOT like kill, so I won't be surprised if that ends up being the meaning of the name. And through killing Ren, he becomes master of the Knights of Ren.
Hm, or 'mightier than Ren'?
Kylo is a mix of skywalker and solo
I am old enough to remember a time, when the movie would explain the movie.
It's like this because for the average fan they don't care to know this stuff. But they create it in a space outside the movie so that hard-core fans can learn about it without making the movies too long
@@Jizzorp Yeah! As a lifelong SW fan, the movies have always been like this. Every single background character has deep lore that gets explored in expanded material.
It makes the Prequels look positively masterful
@2 Old Geeks Talking - No, you´re not... You´re just remembering a time when you still felt joy, about things... Sorry xD
Shortest thing we can say about the Knights of Ren from the film. They were there to do nothing but look cool and pose for the camera and then get wrecked by their former leader.
Out of everything I loved from this movie these guys I truly couldn't get past, they sucked and BARELY did anything in this movie. They seem so cool in the comics but the movie still didn't do them justice.
Oh well. They couldn't do everything
Yeah, they came across as costumed ass-holes.
@@bradsbeenthere2132 but they could have done more.
@@HiddenWen exactly.
I feel like if they could have introduced them in the last film it would have been better
3 minutes and 40 seconds of information. Still more than everything we've actually seen of them in the trilogy.
Literally what was the point of the knights of ren. Like for real, they literally are only in TRoS just for a stormtrooper to say “goals”
JLoughlen wait what.... does that actually happen..
grimlocke 69 I think he called them “ghouls” which, yea, considering the fact that they look frightening I could see people calling them that. But I get the impression they were SUPPOSED to act how JJ wanted them to if he had full control of al three films. Kylo Ren’s bodyguard who operate under his command in secret. Shame it took the third movie to finally see them so shit
Matthew Fernandez I thought they said ‘cool’ but i could be wrong.
@@crazy_skylord9159 they 100% said ghouls.
@@DougieD_Funk no, they did
Everything we know so far : They are dead
“ He was sometimes left to watch his own back from the high ground.”
Oh, so he was afraid of the powerful and mighty Obi- Wan Kenobi and his powers. Gotcha
They are probably gonna do a Disney + series on The Knights of Ren. They can't cram everything into a film.
I hope they do it, like Maul had arcs in clone wars
That'd be sick
That ship is cool AF. Say what you will but JJ as an eye for SW aesthetic.
He wasted Knights of Ren TWICE.....
Yup these guy are so cool
@@Dionizos666 cry about it
mmm he wasted them just this time. in TFA he only introduced them. they should have appeared in TLJ, but rian johnson fucked it up
If only he had a MIND for Star Wars. I can’t believed they went for Death Star routine twice. And Palps electrocutes himself again as well.
The more I hear of the Knights of Ren, the more they seen like a band of villains from Bionicle.
I bet someone could make cool bionicle Mocs of them at least!
Dude, you're totally right. It's the Star Wars Piraka.
I mean Cardo’s weapon is very similar to that of the piraka’s weapons.
Imagine the piraka rap but with the knights of Ren
If the Knights of Ren are Piraka, would Kylo be Vezon or Brutaka? I'm leaning Brutaka.
Glad you got hold of the visual dictionary, looking forward to more of these videos over then coming weeks.
I like the sequel trilogy for the most part but the Knights of Ren were completely wasted.
I completely agree, just like Mike Ashley is wasting you Newcastle fans time and needs to sell your club to a real owner. I'm an American Bournemouth fan, however, I respect you guys as supporters because you sold out St. James the year you went back to the Championship...you guys deserve better!
Constable 1976 Thanks man, Bournemouth are a good club and hope yous stay up this season.
Daniel Dickson Yeah it seems to be a common thing in Star Wars unfortunately.
Daniel Dickson Yeah true but I would rather have learnt a bit more about them in the actual film.
Daniel Dickson The film had that much in it I think it easily could have been 2 films instead of 1.
Like Phasma they were hyped up just to be useless side characters in the end. Sad
PokeBrian1888 hella funny bruh just like boba Fett and jango get over it Star war never thought this far ahead
If only George Lucas was the only one to direct of the WHOLE Star wars sequel trilogy. But then Disney just ruined it.
😡
The knights of Ren were like Micheal Bays Decepticons. They stand around looking cool and badass but end up doing nothing but die to OP heroes
Another thing similar with the Knights of Ren and Michael Bay's Decpepticons is that their figures may be WORTH buying for certain fans so that they could make more badass animations to use as Headcannon or for display
@@jb57551 and they actually do things offscreen but in comic books
Cool. These guys could have been the main villains in TRoS instead of resurrecting Palpatine with minimal explanation.
I am pissed that Kylo by himself took on all of them when Kylo and Rey together barely defeated Snoke's guards. The guards were more of a challenge than the Knights and they though spinning was a good trick. Spinning!
Like the three Jedi masters Palpatine mowed down, very slowly, when they came to arrest him?
Ah yes, the Knights of Missed Opportunity.
So Kuruk was a student of the teachings of Obi-Wan Kenobi...having the high ground!
People complain that they weren’t explained enough. As a lifelong SW fan, the movies have always been like this. Every single background character has deep lore that gets explored in expanded material. Boba Fett and Darth Maul were big deals, but they weren’t truly explored until years later.
Yep like that deathsticks dude that obi wan tricks never comes back
With those ghoulish helmets, these knights are more identifiable than the *OTHER* knights from the last BayVerse movie.
The Iacon Knights were pretty cool in concept, but still, oof!!!
Kylo Ren and his 6 knights of Ren are like the reverse Magnificent Seven.
Love their armor and I wish they did more. Love your content
I was a bit dissapoined on them. Know they don't have a huge part, just so many oppurtunity they have to show them in action. Pretty sure they disarmed Chewie. That way the Exegol showdown could be even more awesome.
But the Rise of Kylo Ren comic is dope, and they ship should be playable at Battlefront soon!
Honestly, I just finished the amazing Resistance Reborn audiobook and it made me expect way too much from the Rise of Skywalker. The return of Wedge was my favorite scene after the Death Star wave fight. Hey Mollie we met at the bar during the Spectacular! Hope you and Alex have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I'm disappointed that all this information doesn't even matter. They're just silent and character-less
darth fury I feel like they were just fine how they had them, they are his personal guards. They don’t matter 🤷🏽♀️
@@clarainesrivera7764 yea but still I would have liked the knights of ren having more character i thought they where jedi that joined kylo would explain why they are there in episode 7 flashback this was pre 9 so
darth fury this guy gets it...I think the same way it was a shame good concept
@@clarainesrivera7764 i agree with you, but i would have preferred that they were treated like the nazgul in lord of the rings
Thats exactly what someone said about bobba fett at one point, no?
Knights of Ren were a severe dissapointment for me. Oh well..
Bigfoot Is Real same lol. All they did was beat up Ben Solo
TheRavePenguin *_* and then they died like idiots just because Ben had a lightsaber
@@fawnodin1239 They should have had lightsabers.
Also probably should have escaped...
I mean they we’re epically defeated by Ben like they were stormtroopers, is that epic enough, pfft nah
hopefully we at least get a deleted scene where one of them talks or something.
Aww yeah:) I would love to get Visual Dictionary for ROTS but here in Poland, publishers says it wont come until 2022, so I will hunt for English one, cant wait!
This information is so cool, it is so awesome that theses knights have names, and there own cool techniques. My favorite is Ushar
The design of these characters are really cool
The Knights of Ren are like a mishmash of the Knights of Zakuul, Dark Side Elite, Prophets of the Dark Side and the Imperial Knights from the Expanded Universe (EU).
One of the Knights (I think Trudgen) Actually found Darth Vader's lightsaber he got his hand cut off by Luke. He is seen wearing it on his belt
If they were loyal only to their master which was ben, why did they attack him in episode 9?
Loyal to kylo ren. Not loyal to Ben solo
@@patrickconners how do they even know what's happening in the entire movie? ahahah
@@XtremeKiwiDestroyer Palpatine wasn't the least bit surprised to see Ben Solo return to the light. He probably told them their leader had lost his way and they must now obey him. Possibly, the one who struck him down would become the new Ren.
Because they sense that Ben was not in the dark side anymore.
Everything we know about the Knights of Ren so far:
After 3 movies, not much.
Still more than Boba Fett.
@@CyberController- uhmm..no
These guys did less against kylo then the preatorian guards did against rey and kylo, and both of them had Sabres fro pretty much the whole fight in the TLJ scene. As soon as he gets a saber in this it's over in seconds
Rey beat some Praetorian guards with 1 or 2 days of training with Luke. In Rise of Skywalker, Rey had a year to study Jedi texts and training with Leia.
If Rey with 1 or 2 days of training was able to beat some Praetorian guards, imagine what she would do to them with 1 year of training...
What about the First Order? I still know absoutely nothing about them.
Great video Alex 🙂
Their unique weapons sound awesome and I love that they each have different personalities. It's just too bad none of that was in the movie.
Knights of ren anthology film would be pretty fkn cool if you ask me
I know they died pretty quickly but that fight was really good.
I love there reaction to seeing Ben with a lightsaber.
They didn’t really die quickly they lived until
The end of the film
Hyperfire 11 until what
M. Taufiq Nurwansyah until
They got fucked up by Ben
I know one thing, They had about five minutes of screen time in TROS, waited nearly five years too see them kick some ass and instead Ben solo kills them with ease, a complete and utter waste, too say I was pissed off in the cinema would be a understatement
The Knights of Ren really came, dropped a few album covers, and dipped
If I would make a Star Wars spin-off it would be about the knights of ren
Ooo good idea
Knights of Ren*
Rohit Jammu thanks, autocorrect...
Do you believe they’re related to the Acolytes of the Beyond?
They seem to predate the Acolytes.
JM I see that. But what if the current members did stem from the Acolytes. I doubt that the members have been the same 6 since they first assembled. And also Trudgen’s helmet is part Death Trooper, so that does fit with the timeline.
J Bruce those guys in the novels (i think aftermath) that were a dark side cult and bought supposedly vaders lightsaber
@J Bruce The Aftermath Trilogy of books established that after Endor there was a gang of Dark Side-obsessed folks that called themselves "the Acolytes of the Beyond" and tried to acquire all of the Sith-related items they could find. There had been speculation that the Knights of Ren (or even Snoke) might have evolved from them, but it doesn't sound like it.
I wonder if some of the Acolytes of the Beyond hitchhiked and made it onto Exegol and were part of the chanting Sith crowd in the 3rd act...
Only to be blasted into Force oblivion in the end.
Man it was so cool to see them use all these weapons and be such a big part of rise of skywalker oh wait never mind a comic will show us how bad ass they are
Wow seeing this video just makes me want A. D. to come back and have his own Knights of Ren movie or series.... one can only wish. It just makes you even more mad that none of this was in The Last Jedi
Kurok has the high ground
I didn't really know each knight of ren have names that's really good
I imagine their scenes were cut due to time constraints.it's a shame because we've been waiting three movies to see what they were all about
They all look pretty badass but I think Ap'lek Ren really stands out
I wish we could of seen more of Mr blacksmith chimp man, he seemed cool.
I still think that the panning shot of them standing on the rock on the desert planet in ROS makes them look like a galactic boy band.
If you feel short changed by the lack of time they had in the movie, read the expanded universe. Princess Leia is my all time favourite character and we are so lucky to have the books Princess of Alderaan, Bloodline and Rebel Rising, which all expand on her story hugely. Also Tarkin by James Luceno is great as that novel fully fleshed out who he is and why he’s so evil.
Do you think Thrawn was the one to analyse the festival necklace?
I hope we get something like
Knights of Ren a Star Wars story
Can you please make a video on everything we know about the Unknown Regions. Rise of Skywalker gave us a brief introduction and the only time we see the regions on the big screen. They are also present in Thrawn and maybe in other canon novels however Thrawn is the only one i've read containing them. Many thanks...
there was soo much potential and they pissed it away
CARDO REN IS A PROTAGONIST IN OUR LOCAL TV SERIES HERE IN OUR COUNTRY. HE HAD UNLIMITED LIFE AND HIS SERIES LASTED FOR YEARS.
6 force users trained by luke and snoke and apparently they served palpatine the entire time.
Not once did they use the force and don't have any lightsabers
Kylo Ren: so what does that make us?
Knights of Ren: Absolutely Nothing!
Trudgen is my favourite knight
Knights of Ren deserve their own trilogy in my opinion.
Thanks for all the names, Alex! I hope we see more of the Symeong species in upcoming canonical presentations. 🐒
They feel like bosses for a video game.
They’re confirmed to be Force sensitive, but never even use the Force wtf
Ikr I expected to do something in the movie but we barely see them.
all they did in tros was hang out in they goth spaceship, scooby-doo villain-like tracking main characters and getting killed in like 2 seconds. Wow, how cool and iconic characters. Thank you movies for getting us excited for 4 years about them
this is the equivalent of starting a sinister six in a spider man film and just using them as side characters
Boba Fetts of the new trilogy?
Good video,thanks
Hmmmmm ap’lek has a weapon from ancient mandolor made of vescar and has a helmet that looks like the skeleton of what the mandolorians make their helmets look like....... it’s like he’s a mando..............never mind
God I want more content of them, they're my favorite part of the sequel trilogy
Wow, great stuff!
Maybe one day we see a spin off. Would love to see kylo and the knights
Love the Final Fantasy reference.
There was a theory that the rogue one gang eventually became the knights of ren after being tortured by the empire. Wouldve been one kickass piece of lore if I do say so myself.
This video did more to explain them than the 3 movies
Nice Video :)
A video about Reys cool yellow lightsaber would be great
Cool. 7 unexplored characters created just to sell toys.
I can't believe they were so underutilized
Can't believe this trilogy wasted Phasma and the Knights as bad as it did
Will you guys do a video of all the things the sequel trilogy has retcon from the new Canon. I'm thinking Bloodlines specifically lol
Ah yes the guys who stand and then die
Albrekh is basically the dark side counterpart of babu frik.
I think the Rise of Skywalker really did waste the Knights of Ren. At least the Last Jedi showed us what the Praetorian Guards are capable of
I want a kylo Ren and knights of Ren show on Disney plus
Really wish we had actually seen them fight more
I thought that the Knights of REN would be like an a lite group of with with very sleek and cool armor. Guess I was wrong. What we actually got is a group of bounty hunters with scraps as armor.
I want them to have their own Disney plus show
They were cool and a sinister addition to the film!
The Knights of Ren should get a solo movie or a book
They looked pretty badass
First Ren looks like Cobra Commander
