10 Burning Questions Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Left Us With

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is finally here, bringing with it the end of not only the Sequel Trilogy but also the Skywalker saga as a whole. We knew going in that there was a lot the movie had to wrap up, then, so it’s maybe not too surprising that it doesn’t manage to address all the questions we’re yearning to know the answer to.

Who Exactly Are The Knights of Ren?

Recommended Videos

Star Wars fans have been fascinated by the Knights of Ren ever since they were briefly glimpsed in The Force Awakens. The Rise of Skywalker finally gives them a serviceable amount of screentime but we still don’t learn anything about them. Essentially, they’re just there to be silent stalkers of our heroes and, ultimately, lightsaber fodder for their former leader, Kylo Ren.

So, who are they? Well, it’s been established in previous films that, when he broke bad, Kylo murdered half of Luke’s Jedi students and took the other half with him. Luke had a dozen students and there are six Knights, so we can maybe infer that they’re Ben Solo’s fellow trainees. If that’s true, though, the way he coldly kills them all seems a little harsh. If he can be redeemed, why can’t they?

With the movies having failed to provide any answers, make sure to check out The Rise of Kylo Ren comic series for further exploration of the Knights and how Kylo came to lead them.
