Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Kylo Ren

10. Kylo Ren Isn't Technically A Sith Lord

Just because a figure in this galaxy far, far away boasts an unmistakable bright red-bladed lightsaber, doesn't necessarily make said character a Sith Lord automatically, folks.

Look at the likes of Asajj Ventress and the various Inquisitors who have popped up in the Star Wars universe, with all those dark side and red lightsaber wielders still not technically being classed as Sith Lords.

Kylo Ren is another name you can add to that list. 

Despite swinging a terrifying red crossguard lightsaber - one containing a cracked Kyber crystal - and being taught the ways of the dark side by Snoke, Ren never actually developed into an official Sith.

The former Ben Solo didn't ever take on the Sith Lord title of 'Darth' at any point in his life. Though it seemed he was still intent on following in his grandfather's footsteps for a time and eventually becoming the latest powerful figure to officially join the villainous group.

That obviously never came to pass, however, with Ren instead seeing the light before he gained that Sith Lord badge and just going down in history as yet another dark side user who never earned that all-important Sith promotion.
