Rogue One Proves Star Wars Theories Are Wrong
What Rogue One Means For 4 Major Star Wars Theories
Theory: The Rogue One Rebels Will Become the Knights of Ren
The Knights of Ren make a very small appearance in The Force Awakens, when Rey is suddenly walloped with a whole avalanche of Force memories. We don't know a lot about the Knights of Ren, only that they're a small organization that operated under Supreme Leader Snoke. We also know Kylo Ren was among their numbers. There's a popular internet theory (perhaps best outlined in this Reddit post by user AgusAguzzi) that our band of rebels will eventually become the Knights of Ren. It's a compelling argument, when you look at all the evidence. In Rogue One, though, each of the main characters very clearly dies. Much like the Captain Phasma theory, each of these individuals would have to survive their respective onscreen deaths, and then the Empire would have to fix them up and turn them to the dark side. It's just a lot of unlikely circumstances.
