Few Star Wars characters have ever generated as much allure out of as little screen time as the Knights of Ren. They appear in only one shot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, an apparent flashback to Kylo Ren’s victory over the light side after a confrontation with his old master, Luke Skywalker. Before that, they get one vocal reference in the film, when Snoke refers to Kylo as “master of the Knights of Ren.” It’s not much, but it was enough to generate a starship full of fan speculation about the Knights, who they are, and what they want.
