It's fake, projects like these are always announced before they make it into production, and we'd have known about it long before a trailer could be produced. A short promotional teaser could be made to officially announce a project before production begins, but I wouldn't expect that to look anything like this.

Fake.

Also Ren didn’t look like the Witch King and didn‘t use two sabers

That’s not a rumor. He is working on something but it’s not this.

The new movies (Rogue Squadron, Taika’s, Feige’s, and Dillards) are set in a new time period far away from the Skywalker movies

Disney would have to be fucking high off their minds to even try to do anything related to those disasters.


They have Mandalorian and they have the MCU. They don't need to elbow drop the golden goose to make some money.

It’s likely fake, but damn if it doesn’t look bad ass. I’d love to see something on the Knights of Ren in this style.

I’d watch it if it was real. Kylo Ren needed to come off as a much more dangerous villain and this guy does more in a minute than Kylo did in three films.

Knights of Ren?

I remember thinking they sounded incredible. They were completely unimportant and not explained properly. Much like most of the film. Maz? She has a fetish for Wookies. And Luke's lightsaber.

Shame too as they looked cool.

He jumped from the back jet to the front jet (shut up nerds!) while they were hurtling through atmosphere? How does that work?

After seeing what they are doing with Boba Fett, a Knights of Ren show would make them boy scouts help old ladies cross the street except for that slightly bad kid Kylo who just can't help himself stealing lollipops from the corner drug store when they play hokey from Jedi school led by mean old Luke Skywalker.

Disney should stay FAR away from any "villain project" stuff. I'm terrified to see what they do to Thrawn. They just don't have the balls to do that stuff justice.
 
I Know what Knights Of Ren Was from all the literature and Comics Books. This is a small group Luke Instantly Dismantled with the Light Side of the Force!

Some Time afterwards, Luke Had become so powerful with the Light Side of The Force after essentially Communicating With The Light Side - and being told he was bar none the single Jedi to ever posses such immense Restrain and Thus Control within the Light Side - The Light Side Agreed that considering All he knew About The Light Side - If he thought he may benefit from learning of the intricacies of the Dark Side then he Should.

He adopted Knights Of Ren during this era in the Skywalker Mythos to personally describe situations and misinform the enemy while he quickly after a short period realized the Dark Side of the Force is just absolutely Weak and poses no threat to Light Side Users.

Particularly as in this point in time, he had cloned himself several times for one - but could also create multiple variants of himself (Hundreds of Thousands) and had fully dismantled Several Entire Rogue Planets of Sith in this manner. He Was also Masterful now at this point in time, at Event Manipulation at a Galactic Scale. And traveling faster then the Speed Of Light without a Ship and using extremely advanced technologies only described in the Novels! Did That sound like Luke Skywalker in the trailer? Knights of Ren in the books, as far as described - were just a side note and most interestingly used to Describe Luke Skywalker and his own Adventures!!
 
I revised my above post with a better flowing more descriptive version, but it won't allow me to edit anymore!!

And Also Traveling Faster then the Speed Of Light without a Ship while using extremely advanced technologies only described in the Novels!!

Did That sound like Luke Skywalker in the trailer? Luke Did, while he was a Knight Of Ren - use Two Light Sabers while watching a Simulation provided by The Light Side Knights of Ren in the books, as far as described - were just a side note and not really notably... but most interestingly were used to great effect Describe Luke Skywalker and his own Adventures!!

Oh, and from what I can remember, there were two mercenaries who considered theirself the Knights Of Ren. They may or may not of known
it was attached to Luke Skywalker at the time (but they likely knew)!! Luke had adopted this name after realizing Han Solo was an originator of the name and attached in harmless form.

And in the Novels And Comic Books, during the Era of Knights Of Ren, Luke Had Just discovered a Universe where The Witch King was a big deal.. and currently this
Universe was celebrating the filmatic creation of Lord Of The Rings and was also about to experience it's own Technological Revolution of Immense Wealth And Prosperity for All.. similar in scope to
the one Individuals in the Star Wars Universe were experiencing!

They could adapt a variation of the Knights Of Ren without Luke, but this would be very dull in comparison to the stories attached to Luke in the Literature!! As Luke Had mentioned encountering
many Standard Sith more powerful than this group, and considering he didn't find them very powerful either - that was saying something!!

Go down that black spirit rabbit hole and show us what ya got, Disney. You will build an entirely new base of fans of different demographics, and there's huge amounts of net revenue to be gained.

That’s The Witch King. A very good fake.

The folks who did this will probably get work.

THE MORE ADVENTURES OF RAY SKYWALKER - SUMMER 2023

FINN - THE NEXT CHAPTER - SPRING 2024

I completely forgot the Knights of Ren were a thing.

I think we all mentally blocked it out as a traumatic event.

That all sounds so good and so much better than what we got. How the hell did they turn Luke into the hermit with what the books had for them to pull from!?

I don't think so, Disney seems to be distancing itself from it as much as possible.

Those books aren't canon.

I know, I'm saying they had a lot a material they could have used for the sequel trilogy to create the "new" canon and what they decided on was shit. There were so many great Star Wars book series that could have been turned into great scripts, but for whatever reason Disney thought they could come up with something better (we all know how that turned out).

Looks like a poor videogame trailer. Voiced by a teenager with a microphobe running through a guitar peddle...

There was no way in hell Disney would spend $4 billion on Lucasfilm and then not be able to make new movies with Chewbacca in them because he was crushed by a moon in some book 95% of the mass market never read. Hell, Chewbacca is one of the characters they could use forever because anyone can be in the suit and they already have a new Chewie playing him now that Peter passed away.

Because Rian Johnson. He wanted to subvert expectations with his story and was less concerned how that story jived with all the existing material.
He reminds me of that one kid in the group when you played with your SW toys, that would have his own head cannon and get the names wrong, so everyone would always pile on him and not invite to the play sessions anymore. He then became bitter, held that grudge for decades, used that anger and became stronger, working his way to the top... to shit all over those who have scorned him.

Well played, nerd. Well ... played.

"Years before The Last Jedi began development, the treatment left behind by George Lucas in 2012 also had Episode VIII be the one wherein Luke Skywalker would die," reads one page. Another, titled Colonel Kurtzwalker, states: "Although Luke Skywalker only barely appears in The Force Awakens, the concept artists had a lot to imagine based on the fragments of the story they were hearing as it developed.

"Rey was on a mission to seek out Luke Skywalker, who had disappeared. As described by George Lucas, Rey is like Willard going up river seeking out Colonel Kurtz, an allusion to Apocalypse Now. The story had Rey find Luke on a Jedi temple planet, but he is a recluse, withdrawn into a very dark space and needs to be drawn back from despair."

The prequel trilogy proves what Lucas wants isn't always good either.

The movie needed a lot more to sell you on a hermit and cowardly Luke Skywalker than a few minutes of flashbacks. I'm sure you remember even Mark Hamill questioning how that optimistic Luke turned into a hermit in interviews.

Is it even interesting in exploring what the knights of ren were up to before they got destroyed in Rise of Skywalker? :goog_unsure:

Seems like the Black Widow situation, a movie about a dead character almost years after she died.
