JJ could literally do everything that people wanted for Star Wars and people would still find a way to attack it.

It sucks that they waited til the last movie to bring these guys out, and they'll be underused.

The designs? Eh, they're way too similar in overall design (long black robes, Vader-like helmets, etc) to pick a favourite but since I have to choose I'll go with The Rogue.

The characters? None because they're essentially just 6 versions of:

My favourite is Shades-and-Shorts knight.
The Monk.

For anyone interested. Here's a cosplay build of the Monk and Rouge.

These are going to be the coolest looking guys to die the quickest in Star Wars history.

Why you going into a sci-fi universe with medieval shit to go up against laser swords and blasters.

The Heavy I guess. Always like a gun attached to an arm.

I don't remember them from the first 2 movies.

I actually really, really like what's going on with The Armory. Seems like a great concept and exactly how I like to play characters. Just stock up on everything so you're ready for anything... and then never actually use any of it...

The monk shouldn't even be named the Monk, he looks more like The Executioner. Giant ass axe, skull mask and cloak, its the best design of em all.

It's concerning they don't have names, I'm picturing them going out like Snoke's elite guards.

Edit: I'll go with the Monk.

They all kind of look like characters I'd create while scribbling away in my highschool sketchbook. Not to take anything away from the costume designers, they were likely given a direction and had to go with it.

I guess I'll wait on the movie. I assume they'll all have distinct personalities. At least I hope so.

Honestly none. They all feel so bland to me. I'll hold off on judgement until after seeing the movie however.

I think they'd have been a million times cooler as a bunch of lightsaber users. As it stands, Kylo is the only cool one.

One could have used a dual blade, one could dual wield, one could use a saber-pike. Fucking EZ.

Especially since none of the films have had a full entourage of darkside saber users. Missed the opportunity twice with the imperial guards in TLJ and now again with the Ren.

They all look like disposable goons to me, and the placeholder(?) names make them sound like Kylo's D&D party. Will reserve judgment in case they turn out to have personalities.

Yep. Remember when they were in the force awakens trailer? And then that was their entire screen time in the move and the Force Awakens was a shot for shot remake of a new hope?

Man their was so much hope back in the day for these movies.

Can't wait for the 90,000,000 pages of fanfiction about these characters and when they make a T.V. show about them we get to see half the internet have another breakdown about how Star Wars is ruined forever because Disney didn't follow exactly the fan canon of these characters.

I'm only interested in the erotic fanfiction.

I will boycott RoS if Monk's simmering sexual jealousy toward Sniper isn't explored in at least four full scenes. Just watch me.

They waited till Movie 3/3 to properly show these guys off.

Oof.

"What do we do with Luke's other evil Padawans?"
"What?"
"Yeah we have told the audience twice already that Kylo convinced some of his classmates to join him and they all participated in the slaughter of Luke's other apprentices, we also had Rey seeing a vision of said group now being the Knights of Ren"

"...Shit"

Please don't unmask them and show them to be a bunch of incel looking fools with cool armor.

I like the Rogue, going to need a book on these guys when it's all said and done. You know these guys will be the Red Emperor guards from the original trilogy.
