After making a brief appearance in flashback/vision form in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Knights of Ren are set to make their return to the galaxy far, far away this December in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and thanks to Empire we’ve got a new look at the mysterious group of villains led by Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren; check them out here…
It’s not clear at this point how much of a role the Knights of Ren will have in The Rise of Skywalker or whether we’ll get much insight into their backstory, but given that none of the group even have names in the tie-in action figures and LEGO sets revealed this past week, one would suspect their involvement will be brief.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is set for release on December 19th 2019 in the UK and December 20th 2019 in North America with J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) directing a cast that includes Star Wars veterans Daisy Ridley (Rey), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix), Greg Grunberg (Snap Wexley), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa) as well as new additions Naomi Ackie (Lady Macbeth), Richard E. Grant (Logan), Dominic Monaghan (Lost), and Keri Russell (The Americans).
