    The Knights of Ren

    7 warriors, lead by their Master Kylo Ren under the tutelage of Supreme Leader Snoke.

    We only meet Kylo Ren of the 7. Where are the other 6? Dead? Deserted? Disposed of?

    Who were the Knights of Ren? How were they formed? Who formed them?

    Are all the Knights saber-wielders? Are they all force sensitive? What connection do they have to the Sith Inquisitors?

    I think that the knights are alive, just doing their own thing under the command of Snoke. They'll likely appear in the sequels.

    I think that they're the acolytes of Snoke, and act as his minions to do his bidding. General Hux might even be one, although without costume.

    I think that they are "saber-wielders" but not in the traditional sense. I've seen an image of them and they each look like they have different themed weapons. I think they are force sensitive, and that their weapons are powered by artificial kyber crystals (maybe natural). I think that the energy generated by the kyber crystals is used in different ways to power/enhance their weapons. Kind of like how Kylo's saber wasn't a traditional lightsaber, but was cross shaped.

    One knight looks like he's wielding a mace and another looks like he's wielding a part of what could be a scythe. I think the mace will be surrounded by the kyber crystal energy, and that the scythe will project energy blades to make it appear like a scythe (a bit like a Gundam weapon for anyone familiar). Another one or two of the knights appear to be holding blasters. I think that they're customized blasters that use the crystals to shoot out stronger/different blasts than a regular blaster could due to the crystal's power.

    As for their connection to the Sith inquisitors, I think that that Knights of Ren are just reiterations of the master and pupil dynamic that is seen in Star Wars, and that they probably don't have any personal or direct connection to the inquisitors.

    We can see from the image of Kylo & 6 others that we have all presumed to be the KOR that they seem to have a diverse option of weapons.

    I'll find the picture later, but what I've caught are the following.

    - Master of the Knights of Ren, Kylo Ren, Trisaber.
    - 2 Knights appear to have glowing red blasters.
    - 1 Knight appears to have a glowing red poleaxe, halberd, or greataxe.
    - 1 Knight appears to have a giant club, cleaver, launcher, or some other large weapon.
    - 1 Knight appears to have a glowing red bat, flamethrower, or sniper rifle.
    - 1 Knight's weapon appears to be holstered or hidden behind Kylo Ren.

    What it seems from Pablo Hidalgo and the speculative timeline, the KOR in Rey's vision is not the slaughter on Luke's Academy...
    So what might that scene be? Is it the future?

    Well there are bodies literally surrounding them. If it wasn't the Jedi massacre, then it's a massacre of some sort.

    THIS WOULD BE TOTALLY RAD. Like a combination of weapon specializations, like evil fellowship of the ring, but Sith!! I'm TWEEKING from this! Totally awesome!

    I do believe they exist and that Ren is the only force sensitive.

    I thought I read somewhere else that "Ren" was another given/ancient name for Sith? Or some tie in to a relative splinter group of Sith... and that the Ren part of 'The Knights of Ren' was meant for Kylo as like a sur name of sorts, like a military unit per se.

    I believe that they are a group of Sith relic hunters and Vader fanatics. Kylo is regarded as the leader due to the bloodline link to Vader himself. Their weapons could possibly be augmented by kyber crystal technology, thus explaining the red features on each one.

    Has anyone else noticed that Kylo is holding something in his other hand in the Hi-Res rain shot? It almost resembles Luke's green saber.

    interesting ~ hadn't noticed. doesn't look like a lightsaber to me, though.

    i hesitate to postulate what the Knights of Ren were about, but I wonder why Kylo Ren is the only one of them around that we know of at the moment.

    my gut has vacillated a lot between this vision being a memory as opposed to a premonition. i'm still inclined to believe it's a memory,

    I'm the complete opposite. I took it as a memory or vision of the past, but am now gravitating toward it being an event in the future. KOR is the most intriguing apsect for me now whilst waiting for episode VIII. :)

    i think i originally believed it was a premonition, but something about the fact that Rey's last image is of running into Ren into the snow suggests to me that everything preceding that is memory.

    also because i'm inclined to believe that Ren ditched Rey on Jakku. and it appears that the Zuvio-looking character is the threat in that moment, which means this scene could potentially support that Ren protected her for some reason.

    i kinda hope the Knights of Ren remain mysterious for the most part. lots of things i don't want to know ~ hahaha

    It would be so cool to see Ezra being a part of the Knights of Ren as we in mid-season of Rebels saw that he will once again touch the dark side. I don`t think they will go that route but it would be a epic treat for Star-Wars Rebels fans. Not likely as most movie-goers don`t watch Rebels, but you know, interesting. This theory has been on the web quite a while now and I find it really interesting. Perhaps he won`t appear in Episode 8, but I found it very likely that he`ll turn to the dark side. Snoke has had many apprentices before Kylo and I think that he could have seduced Ezra. Perhaps Maul is actually working for Snoke and his mission is to bring Ezra to him. Would be quite a cool plot twist, heh? I think Disney could go in that direction as they have stated that they want to tie the OT with the new trilogy.

    I assume they will all be named _____ Ren? Kylo Ren, Dave Ren, Gertrude Ren, etc.? I hope they are gender inclusive.
