I don't know much about the movie, but I think that's exactly what the point of that character is.
I like 'em!

Pretty much all movies like this have promo art and posters in this style. I don't even think they look bad and I like seeing some official art of Ren.
It should be Dark Jedi or Dark Force warrior but not sith.
The whole purpose of the first six movies was for anakin skywalker to fulfill his destiny to destroy the sith forever. That is supposed to be canon.
In the expanding universe, there were more sith but that was not considered canon and disney dismissed all the expanding universe but said that movies was still canon.
Disney is full of crap

Get out
Seriously though if we take that as canon we should just stop making star wars films
With no Sith whats the point

These are great. I need to be alone for a while.
These are the images you find on posters in the back of a Walmart or on Trapper Keepers/folders in back-to-school sales (or given out at conventions
). There will be thousands of kids completely ecstatic to get these because they look cool. We'll get proper theatrical posters and art at some point that look much better from a design perspective, I'm sure.FriendlyGoat

What the heck are you even reacting to? Did I miss an official announcement where they said "BTW, this guy is a SITH". You also seem to be making some pretty big assumptions on what the whole purpose of the films were, what the "prophecy" even meant and what exactly counts as canon.

Mask is a tad overdesigned.

May I have a cookie?
I guess it really is hard to top a design based on a skull wearing a Nazi helmet..

Sith order and Dark Jedi are the same.

sith is looking ace.
Kind looks like Revan
Revan is so awesome, even better character design than Vader imo.
LOL, cannot unsee.

Flamethrower guy, do you really want to use a flamethrower against warriors that can move things with their mind?
Exactly...so there is going to be sith...so the ultimate point of the prequels means nothing (very satisfying)

I don't think Jedi are a super common thing in this era.
Storm troopers fight more people than Jedi. How do you think they burned up Luke's aunt and uncle?
That prophecy thing was some stupid shit. If they ignore it, I'm not opposed.
You know, for a while there, I thought he had a tiny as fuq left arm until I realized it was just a piece of his rags waving in the wind.

They could make the new films like Game of Thrones.
Very few battles but it is all about the political maneuvering of all the planetary leaders trying to gain the most power in the galaxy. Backstabbing, brothels, the Hutts being like a mafia esque gangster society, bounty hunters taking out politicians, etc

there won't be Sith as the people, but there will probably be dark side users. Otherwise the movie would be a little pointless.

Lucas says the prophecy was mis-interpreted by the Jedi, so whatever they do is pretty much fine canon-wise. A lot of people are speculating that
Kylo Ren is a sith fanboy
This guy. lol.
they could, but you'd have a lot of fans moaning that it's too serious, too dark, "not Star Wars enough" and "where's my space opera".
You can't please everyone.

sith is looking ace.
Kind looks like Revan
Dont like the flamethrower trooper visors, too thin.
Stormtroopers like ace though.
EDIT: the overall posters are pretty meh to be honest, low quality look too.
To me the stormtroopers look low quality, too. I don't know why.
>sigh<
And yes, the bad guy looks like Revan. I really do hope there are some original ideas in this movie.

They'd be better off leaving that stuff to the standalones. I'd be totally cool with it there.

Those metal bits around his eyes are probably like the elements on an electric oven and when he gets angry they heat up, I reckon he's going to be spending the movie dishing out evil sith face burns to people. Then Lando's gonna kick him in the nuts and use his face to light his cigar, shits gonna be awesome.
Quote from George himself:
"The prophecy is that Anakin will bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith. He becomes Darth Vader, Darth Vader does become the hero, Darth Vader does destroy the Sith - meaning himself and the Emperor - he does it because he is redeemed by his son."
He clearly goes with the literal interpretation of the prophecy.
Which again, is some stupid shit.

Rens design is REALLY cool. That concept art is balls though.

Loving the content in the posters.
The posters themselves look like the type you would buy at Toys R Us, which these possibly may be.
