Kylo Ren is the latest in the line of badass Star Wars villains who likes to dress in black and enjoys swinging a red lightsaber around. But just like how no one knows what the deal is with Finn and Rey, people have even less of an idea of who Kylo Ren really is and why he hides behind a mask. Here are the things we do know about this new and mysterious red lightsaber-wielding character: Kylo Ren isn't his actual name, he is part of some group called the Knights of Ren, he's also part of the First Order, he is apparently a Force-sensitive human which makes him a powerful Force user, he doesn't consider himself a Sith Lord as he doesn't have 'Darth' in his name, his master is Snoke (who may or may not be a Sith Lord), and he has an unhealthy obsession with Darth Vader. This doesn't really help much in figuring out who this guy is, but with a badass character like this in the film, you can at least expect some good lightsaber battles and some good old-fashioned Force choking of some insubordinate officer. But questions about his character aside, the most glaring question (outside of why he likes a crossguard on his lightsaber) has to do with continuing some master plan of Vader's and this ties into the next entry...
