The Knights of Ren finally have their backstory!!...In a comic. And it's...

They look cool and still do. Well, I think Phasma does but the Knights looked too similar and plain to be cool.
The whole opening post is you trying to cast this in the silliest light possible. I've seen this in countless ST threads. I can only comment on how it repeatedly comes across.

It's fucking hilarious and I will treat it as I please, thank you. The actual panel is there so everyone can make their own minds.
We might be getting close to "the glove of Vader gives you Sith Powers" and "Palpatine's secret son was a triclops" but we're not there yet
The Rise of Kylo Ren #1.
Which also gave us Snoke in a newsboy cap.
And the amazing retcon that Kylo didn't actually kill the kids in the temple, a lightning storm conveniently set the temple on fire the night he turned.
That comic is one for the ages
Amazing how this shit can actually get worse lol
I said last month about the Knights of Ren being in the final movie:
I retract my statement. I was fine not knowing.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, it means...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...poopy...butt. This is canon now.
I am deciding for myself. And when stuff regarding Disney Star Wars continually gets posted out of context and framed as sillier then they are when their existence is actually reasonable or similar to things that people accept as perfectly normal in other stories, what am I supposed to think?
What about Zasz from Batman? Or Joker from The Dark Knight? All characters who did or are hinted to have inflicted self harm on themselves because of their obsessions. What makes this so over the top in Star Wars if all things?
For what it's worth I don't think this is too bad, the Knights of Ren are badly utilized and don't show any unique traits in the movies but that's hardly the comics writer's fault. They're basically doing the movie team's jobs for them at this point.
If they wanted to be accurate to the movies, this comic would just be about a bunch of dudes standing around waiting to take orders and... that's it.
Of course they could have just not done anything with them at all because I think everyone lost interest in the Knights of Ren months ago but hey, if they gotta do something to appease the Disney overlords, at least they made it interesting/ridiculous.
I feel for whatever writer has to explain away the dude and his inexplicable dagger, though.

Sun crusher and starkiller base are roughly the same levels of stupid.

Funnily enough, when Rian was asked why he didn't use the Knights of Ren, he said that it was because he had nothing on them, no info, no notes, nothing. So at one point he considered having them be the ones guarding Snoke and the ones massacred by Rey and Ren, he decided not to because he thought that it would be disappointing, so he didn't use them, probably expecting JJ or Colin to actually do shit with them
This is me.
NGL, part of my excitement of TFA was hearing that Kylo Ren was part of a group of other force users and such. I was excited to see force users outside of the Jedi and Sith and their own force culture. Then we got nothing.. other than this.
Also funny, how they sometimes call Kylo Ren just "Ren" in the new movie, like don't they know (and JJ) that Kylo is his name, and Ren is his surname?

He's not literally calling his lightsaber the Ren, so much as using it to burn himself as a symbol of their philosophy. His name is Ren, too. Kylo Ren does not mean Kylo Lightsaber.
Nobody's going to read this post though

Still better than the Vong. As long as they stay gone, I'm good.
They use the force to burn nipples. It has no other practical use.
You never see even one of them ever use force.

I'd love to see usage of the force with other weapons.
How about Shurikens you can move with the force?
How about a whip?
Maybe that bigass sword from onw of the knights can do cool stuff with the force?
Nope, nada.

They pose menacingly in like 2 scenes, do absolutely nothing of note and then Ben Solo easily kills them when he turns good on his way to the final villain lair. They don't even have lines
I'd place some blame on Kathleen Kennedy for being too finicky with who she chose to direct some of the movies.
