Lucasfilm Confirms The Other Knights Of Ren Actually Have Names



Nearing the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the film will kick off with Kylo Ren as the Supreme Leader of the First Order. He strives to establish a good grip on the galaxy. And despite Lucasfilm's efforts to keep most of the information about the movie as they can, numerous speculations, leaks, and queries are going out regarding the film.

An interesting question came from a fan on Twitter under the user AussieSamurai. Since the release of the Episode IX merchandise back in Triple Force Friday, fans had a lot to ask about the toys' information.

Pablo Hidalgo, a member of the Lucasfilm Story Group, was asked by the aforementioned user regarding the names of the Knights of Ren. And since the Story Group is involved in all the mediums such as games, books, comics, shows, movies, and toys, he might be a credible source for the fan to ask. The question goes, "serious question, did they already have names or were you responsible for naming them when working on the EP IX Visual Dictionary?"

"They do have individual names," says Hidalgo. However, he clarified that the Knights did not have names on the said toy packages because of the "long lead times required for toys." Considering the amount of time it takes to prep the designs and packaging for the companies to make, Hidalgo noted that "the names weren't finalized in time for that product." Hence, the general terms for the toys. See the full tweet below:

According to Comic Book, this could even be a benefit for the studio since it would limit possible spoilers since the film's release is only months from now. Regardless, Kylo Ren's story would be a huge part of the film since J.J. Abrams worked "extensively around the character."

Well, all of us will soon find out; theories and queries will soon be answered with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on December 20, 2019.
