There was never any indication that any member of the Knights of Ren, outside of Kylo, was a force sensitive.

User Banned (1 Day): Antagonizing other members
They're pedantic know it alls who have a unstoppable compulsion to post when people hold other opinions, or these days the compulsion to post if they see someone formulating what could be a future opposing opinion by 'poking fun'. They create a low level of toxicity around the place like a fragrant fart.
And you got all of this from "this is why we can't have nice things"?
They were definitely Jedi-in-training. Luke mentions in The Last Jedi that he had about a dozen students in total and Ben took a "handful" of Luke's students with him and killed the rest.
How is it this question has been raised and this thread has gone almost 100 pages and no one has linked a Knights of Ren pic for comparison? Come on Nerds.
I swear this is the same kind of clothing as the Knights of Ren. The leaked poster we weren't meant to see even shows them wielding pretty archaic weapons, so an axe isn't out of the question. Maybe the Knights of Ren have their own followers now or is Ben actually fighting his former comrades?
TFA and TLJ had official promo images out by this time. My only guess is that it might've been a sacrifice to preserve the title reveal.
That scene is edited in a way that tricks you into thinking those two things happened at the same time but are actually two completely different things.
The scene is edited like this
1. Rey touches the lightsaber
2. This fades into cloud city which then leads us into
3. Luke mourning with R2 at the night of the massacre which then leads us into
4. Someone being killed by Kylo with the Knights of Ren behind him which then leads us into
5. Rey being left on Jakku which then leads us to
6. Rey on Starkiller's forest which then leads us to
7. Back to the present
I always thought that scene was the massacre as well but it was only after I watched TLJ did I realize it was not possible because it breaks the whole internal logic of how that scene is edited. Each location fades into the next one, so it wouldn't make sense for one to fade into itself.
I saw someone say it was a Knights of Ren on Twitter so I instantly brought up the concept art of all of them:
It's not any of the Rens we've seen, also, you can see another guy that's dressed exactly like the guy Kylo kills.
It would be cool if there were more aliens in the main cast In Star Wars, maybe like Guardians of the Galaxy. Its kind of pathetic that the only one with any screen time seems to be Chewbacca who is just kind of there.
Also the dude that gets killed looks like he's got big, thick, possibly furry hands. The KoR are all non beast like as far as we know.I saw someone say it was a Knights of Ren on Twitter so I instantly brought up the concept art of all of them:

What's with the guy in the trashcan?I saw someone say it was a Knights of Ren on Twitter so I instantly brought up the concept art of all of them:

Yes it would be much better
He's just a kid, and life is nightmare.
Ammunition canister, ala Vulcan Raven:
He only has a pistol, so he isn't exactly doing a lot of damage, but boy can he shoot it for a long time.
The Dish (there is just no way that thing travelled to anywhere else being in orbit when it blew up), Palpatine cackle and there is a forest battle with what looks like to be either some serious grown up version of Ewoks wielding primitive axes (or the Knights of Ren or a JJ rejigged version of the Knights with them being from where Palpatine's presence is lingering which would be Endor).
And to be honest there is even a small ROTJ sail barge type craft chased by speeder bikes in the desert scenes of the teaser and JJ being JJ "remix" Abrams, he would not be able to resist revisting this ROTJ location for his trilogy ending movie. There was also concept art for a sunken throne room remnant for TFA so they are ressurecting that possibly.
It would make sense for Kylo's arc to be honest. It is the site where his idol died after all. The images for Endor from orbit show a lot of water as well, so JJ has a bit of leeway to show another side of Endor that is more shore and mountains if he wanted to.

I mean, there's really only two places it could be, and TFA has concept art of Kira exploring a submerged Death Star II. It's Endor.
"You merely adopted the trash compactor. I was born in it."
I don't think Ian knows the definition of the word "subtle" anymore. He may have known it once, but he cast it away in the pursuit of UNLIMITED POWER.
This is the only correct answer. I am prepared for full ham.
To devour scenery is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together I know we can discover the secret.
Serious answer: McDiarmid reprised his role as Palpatine in the Rebels series finale last year and his acting was subtle and in line with the OT.
I thought it would be Endor also. Just wondering what other clues pointed to it. Thx guys
Never seen this clip before until now. Pretty well done. That's a scenario I can totally see Rey being put through
Not really. His performance in Jedi was pitch perfect. In Sith he went way over the top
And it was amazing.
Though I feel JJ will want a more subtle Emperor performance.
It turns out Palpatine was pulling a Revolver Ocelot and the entire events of the PT, OT, and ST were actually engineered by him to create a scenario where Rey could bring balance to the Force. He was actually a good guy the whole time.
I'm starting to wonder if the Death Star we see is actually the first rather then the second, which would place it on Yavin IV rather than Endor. The wooded still photos we saw could really be either moon. There's no reason to assume the cackle automatically means it's the DSII since trailers can be cut to misdirect.
But it's probably DSII since it's likely based on the TFA concept art.

I mean, Palpatine at this point in time should be the most powerful Force user anyone has ever seen. He was immensely powerful decades ago and made Yoda quit. Now that he's had even more time to grow stronger I'm expecting to see some pretty crazy stuff.
I expect to see him represented in a more subdued way as in ROTJ. But more powerful than anything we've seen.
If he actually died and has returned from the dead, I bet he used his time in The Beyond to gather a shit ton of arcane knowledge from other Sith lords. Hoping we see some wild, mythical feeling force powers from him
Maybe he's dead but can still attack people with Force lightning. Yoda in TLJ was foreshadowing!!
