Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will kick off with Kylo Ren as the Supreme Leader of the First Order. He yearns to establish the First Order's grip on the galaxy and is speculated to have taken his time on introducing new weapons, troops, and technologies. This could be a good way for Lucasfilm to create and sell merchandise to the fans.

Despite Lucasfilm's efforts to keep as much information as they can, multiple leaks and rumors are popping out lately from various sources. And nearing the Triple Force Friday, images of the Star Wars: Episode IX merchandise were leaked revealing intriguing information regarding Kylo Ren.

Star Wars News Net was able to get an exclusive look at the figures that will be hitting the stores next week. It includes The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, and Jedi Fallen Order. At the back of the figures, character descriptions are always provided. "Some of these are already public knowledge," SWNN said. "But it's still really cool to check out the details of the new figures heading our way soon!"

Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter was mentioned in one of the toys. Apparently, his one-man vehicle is named as the TIE Whisper. In contrast to the other TIE Fighters known for their "screaming" sound, it appears that Kylo Ren's will be much quieter than the others.

This is an intriguing move for Kylo Ren since there's a potential motive behind the vehicle he would be using. He oughts to fight with stealth rather than "brute force," (via Screen Rant). It is said that some of the merchandise hints to Kylo Ren's plans on scouring the galaxy in order to find dark side relics without leaving a trace, hence the vehicle's name.

It's certainly fascinating to see such a minor detail be involved in a much larger theory or rumor than it seems. If this were true, a stealth version of a TIE Fighter would definitely spark a discussion among the fans.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premieres on December 20, 2019.
