The Knights Of Ren - Members & History

Who are the Knights of Ren? Are they force-sensitive? Where did they come from? The Visual Dictionaries, Secrets of the Sith, and the comic book The Rise Of Kylo Ren give us that answer.
A little extra bit of information that I didn't cover in the video (because I forgot); the Knights Of Ren seemed to know who Snoke was in the comic book, hinting that they were doing his bidding at some point. That may explain Snoke's line in The Force Awakens about having multiple apprentices.

I remember these guys, they’re the ones who appeared standing in alleys and the like, doing nothing apparently, then got solo’d before doing anything

[@ArchiveRedacted]

ha, i get it...."Solo'd". Good one

[@apoolofwomen]

Best comment lol

[@Enchie]

I keep forgetting they existed.

[@aurum6664]

I was hyped when i 1st saw them. Then disney acted like little bitches saying this group are not sith but knights of ren replacing the darth title. I was so mad and hoped that this group dies and i got my wish in the end thank you disney for giving me bad movies but killing this fucking group called rens. 🤣🤣🤣

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

How does one get “Solo-ed”? You mean they die as they live: insignificantly(?)

[@mikekeller4911]

Crazy how legendary they were. But got slaughtered in one fight

[@JDC504ABC2]

So basically they’re offbrand inquisitors without lightsabers

[@OK-yy6qz]

Yeah more or less. Inquisitors in an era without Jedi

[@wankawanka3053]

And cooler designs

[@dreadpirate3152]

I’d love to see a rated R Knights of Ren series

[@ArchiveRedacted]

More Knights content in general would be great. They're getting some love in the comics right now, and those are pretty good.

[@rhinestonetigerinaleisures3155]

youre more likely to see a r Rated Barbie movie with disney at the helm

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

So an episode of Robot Chicken with frontal nudity?

[@jasonlorphotofilms]

The Knights of Ren always reminded me of the 7 Legendary Swordsmen of the Hidden mist from Naruto. Everyone is dressed a certain way and they all have unique looking weapons.

[@ArchiveRedacted]

wait i actually love that comparison

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

No offense dude but I think you’re giving JJ Abrams and the Knights Who Say Ren a bit too much credit

[@KenshoBeats]

Fun fact, these helmets were all try out designs for the Kylo Ren look. As these designs were not used for this purpose, the Knights of Ren were born.

[@ArchiveRedacted]

That's awesome! Love that they repurposed the designs! Thanks for the fun fact!

[@fredfilms3383]

The Knights Of Ren did nothing but stand around and die.

[@gabrielp9646]

In classic Star Wars fashion.

[@rawrYou.]

CARDO and KURUK, the only two ranged fighters, decided NOT to use any of their ranged weaponery in the fight with Kylo Beta Ren. And it's doublely worse that they chose to stand SO close to him that he was able to take them out BOTH with one lightsaber swing! Agregious.

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

I guess that’s a step up from what Luke and Leia did in the sequel trilogy Luke just sat around and died while Leia just lay around and died

[@markgrehan3726]

A cool if wasted idea but honestly they kinda look like an edgy wrestling troupe.

[@tremendoushustle9548]

They each received zero character development. They should’ve been the main plot of the Rise of Skywalker instead of bringing Palpatine back.

[@splodge71]

lots of comments comparing the Knights to Imperial Inquisitors,i would say that they are almost the exact opposite,the Inquisitors were kept on a tight lead by,ultimately,Vader and sent out on predetermined missions whereas the Knights wandered mostly,causing trouble where ever they ended up

[@slowemm]

Don't forget the Soldiers of Stimpy

[@juneangel7221]

😅😂🤣 good one

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

“You eediot’!”

[@Leonard_Washington76]

This Star Wars series had so much potential 😢

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

With all due respect my friend, they really didn’t What I mean is they had literally no story: all the structure they had was what they ripped from the OT and the rest was vaguely hinted at a la mystery box. The thing about the myster box approach is that it’s not a method for telling/creating stories but merely postponing them

[@jove1155]

Knights of Ren roster: Nameless Ghoul #1 Nameless Ghoul #2 Nameless Ghoul #3 Nameless Ghoul #4 Nameless Ghoul #5 Nameless Ghoul #6 YOU'RE WELCOME.

[@bigmike2464]

I figured the Knights that were with Kylo were the Students he took with him after he destroyed the temple

[@JiisTube]

The filmmakers probably forgot

[@JiisTube]

8 mins video for characters with

[@alannatherson7721]

Two of these guys have beskar weaponry and were supposedly all force sensitives? How did they get bodied so freaking quickly?

[@billblaski9523]

Lol those Snoke guards put up a better fight

[@Enchie]

Their names sound like Urukes from LOTR.

[@ArchiveRedacted]

Yeah, you're right they do. Especially Kuruk, since it rhymes with Uruk lol

[@Broooooooo547]

It would have been cooler imo if they used inquisitors instead of the knights

[@OK-yy6qz]

Where do you get this type of info? Only thing I've read about the Knights of Ren is in the Rise of Kylo Ren comic but it offers little to no info on the Knights individually just a little more on the overall dogma plus the original leader

[@ArchiveRedacted]

The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary and The Secrets of the Sith source book! The visual dictionary goes into detail on each specific member and their personality, while the Secrets of the Sith talks a bit about their origins and relation to the dark side. They're pretty interesting

[@danielenriquez895]

Wish Hasbro released the rest of the Knights of Ren and even Ren as figures rather than the current selection of characters from the New Trilogy. A series highlighting this would also help the strength of the canon. Guess they werent popular enough to make as figures....just generic one :(

[@C.P.C3719]

What exactly was the point to these characters again?

[@davidbrunelle4740]

So basically Caesars legion from fallout new Vegas but trying to be like inquisitors and sith instead of Romans.

[@Flomo112]

I remember how I excited I was see them in TFA. Pft

[@eveyroserogersbarnes8364]

Me encantaría que este video estuviera en español. Entiendo bien lo que dice, pero aun así me gustaria que al menos fuera subtitulos en español para apreciarlo mejor 😢

[@michaelmorris8812]

So pretty much their like inquisitors?

[@aurum6664]

More like half republic commando and half inquisitors. In the end they're a joke since ep9 said so or was it 8, i forgot already fuck this sequel!

[@chadjohnsen5941]

The dark side fanboys! The opposite of the keeper of the force or wills!

[@robertcoleman2406]

Aka the Badder Batch lol

[@ArchiveRedacted]

LMAO

[@eddiemcalinden2773]

Excellent content Instasubbed

[@marcbensen8963]

AP'LEK reminds me of aflack 😂

[@jharvey433]

That one guys mask looks like the guitarist from slipknot

[@ArchiveRedacted]

i think i know who you're talking about lmao

[@frankthetank8050]

Knights of Ren are the biggest joke ever. All the hype and then were in the movie for like 3 seconds. Very funny Disney 😂😂😂

[@aurum6664]

I had so much hope about this group but the movie suddenly said the knights want to get away from the name "sith" i got triggered and hoped they die.....thankfully they did and they just had a short stint on the movie 🤣🤣🤣

[@selbalamir]

Some dudes that all like to dress up in black and oil each other up.

[@G-ZILLA_FAN9009]

I would ask for a series on these guys ,But i dont want Kathleen Kennedy to ruin them.

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

7:10 Well, what do you know! Disney is just continuing to retroactively build the foundational lore for the sequel trilogy years after they were made! I don’t think I need to point out that said lore should have been created BEFORE the movies were made but that’s none of my business ☕️

[@ArchiveRedacted]

Oh yeah! Kinda like how LucasFilm retroactively added lore to the originals & prequels! Crazy

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

Yeah Didn't Do much of anything in the Sequel trilogy lol And then got killed off by Ben Solo when He turned Back to the light side of the force. Lol 🤔😉😂👍👌✊👊🍁♈

[@davidmyhra4931]

Sexual trilogy doesn’t deserve to be talked about

[@dcuthbertson5778]

The most wasted bag guys in the history of Evil. They did absolutely nothing. Would’ve been better to see them fight against Jedi

[@lucvandermeer9498]

God i hate those movies so much

[@CAPTAIN-REX]

honestly I never watched the sequels but I heard that the sequels are bad

[@happypuppy8221]

Lame charcters

[@martijnwillemsen5870]

Another big plot failure of the last three movies. Best forgotten...

[@19aries81]

I don't actually remember seeing the Knights of Ren in these god awful films

[@JAIMEDELALEY]

Waste of characters

[@ambushbob5383]

These dudes were lame.

[@naruto73syfy]

They wasted these characters

[@aurum6664]

They are a joke lol

[@mastermind423]

God, Disney Star Wars is lame af.

[@robwasilewski9273]

Waste of characters
