Hello!
The original knights of ren where once nothing more than a legend told in the hundreds of small insignifcant planets, for millenia the story was the same, the Knights of Ren would come onto a planet and bring destruction while at the same time taking those gifted in the force, in these backwards planets those where the type of stories told to the children so they would behave. However all legends can be the founding block of greatness or so thought a once imperial inquisitor that had survived the destruction of the two deathstars, scarred, broken and with connection to the dark side of the force the man would escape to the unknown regions where he would rebuild. During this time he would take the name of Ren, he would go from planet to planet like the legends of old told, over time and after many years it would no longer be Ren, but the Knights of Ren, he would bring the legend to life, he would bring destruction and he would take the force sensitives. By the time Kylo had been reborn the Knights where more than just one man, it was one small army of force sensitives of varying degrees of strength, skill and races.
Kylo would ultimately defeat Ren in a duel, those knights that wished to avenge their master would perish under his blade and those that saw the strength of the Dark Side on Kylo would follow him faithfully until the end. Kylo would take the title of Ren, becoming Kylo Ren and the knights would join him as his own personal guard, new weapons, armor, clothes and training would be provided for these dark knights that would now prowl on a myriad of worlds searching for force sensitives, targets to kill and most importantly the new resistance threat.
Well there it is, basically a dragon figure with a hasbro cobra commander head and a nice mixture of clone and stormtrooper armor with a good ol fallschirmjäger helmet with a techy half doughnut, the rest is just pieces of cloth and vinyl that looked cool. With this figure I wanted to make the Knights of Ren look more like Snoke's Praetorian guards and less like background mercenary characters one would see in Maz Kanata's cantina. For some reason of all the things in RoS it was the knights of ren that bothered me the most.
Well that would be all for today, I hope no one is bothered by my dislike of the canon knights of ren
, for the time being take care, have fun and enjoy the weekend doing fun stuff like gluing your fingers with super glue.
While I've been working on the wall project and sketching up a new wall idea I've also been doing a lot of star wars related stuff. In this case this Knight of Ren started out as an imperial assassin but after having watched the Rise of Skywalker and feeling quite (a lot) disappointed with how the Knights of Ren where used and how they where portrayed I decided to do my own version of them. Like always when I become interested in something I like to read on the subject and well.... I'm unsure if I like their story in my very own personal opinion they sound more like the stereotypical "Dark, brooding, edgy" character(s) one would see in something like a high school drama, if you are interested in reading it and drawing your own conclussions here's the link to the wookieepedia page on The Knights of Ren(I know I should use the Imperial Encyclopedia) on them so you can draw your own conclusions, for now I'll write a small bit of backstory from how I feel they could have been.
