Knights of Ren = Midichlorian's. Sith should continue like Jedi

Help me to understand. You want the story to be rewritten because "Sith" sounds better to your ears than "Knights of Ren?"

(Edited for grammar)

 

So you're just saying you don't like the name. Fair enough. I think it's pretty cool, but whatever.

But since the Sith are extinct, we'll have plenty of time to get used to the name.

 

@Xeven - Essentially the Sith and Jedi are religious orders, which are subject to change and even extinction.

The Knights of Ren are supposedly (I say it like that since we know little about them) a group that follows the Dark Side, though for that matter I'm not sure we've even had any official notion that they are even actual Force users. Just hints that they took out Luke's academy. It could just be Kylo that has Force powers among them.

In any case, it's different flavors. Just because it's similar doesn't mean it's wholly the same, nor that people will treat it lightly. Ever heard all the wars between Catholics and Protestants, even though they were both Christians? Or Shiites and Sunnis with Islam? The Sith and KoR could be the same for the Dark Side for all we know.

 

The Jedi are literally called Jedi Knights plenty of times in the OT alone...

"Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight."

 

I disagree with that. As @John Crichton said, these were religious orders. There are many, many Earthly examples for this.

Besides, resurrecting the Sith "just because" would contradict story. The Sith are gone.

If the names bother you, then perhaps look beyond the names and at the concepts. We don't know anything about the Knights of Ren yet, so there's nothing to judge. Now that TFA is out, let's see where we go from here.

 

Adding to my other post.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes. I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire.

Yoda: Stopped they must be; on this all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight, with the Force as his ally, will conquer Vader and his Emperor.

Han Solo: A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!

Bib Fortuna: May I present Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight?

 

There are religious sects in Earth's history. And there were knights. And there were knightly religious orders.

You are very literal!
