23. The Knights Of Meh

Lucasfilm

The Knights of Ren were easily one of the most tantalising aspects of the original marketing push for The Force Awakens, so disappointing it was when they featured in the final film for all of a few scant moments.

They then sat out The Last Jedi entirely, though the marketing for The Rise of Skywalker promised that Kylo Ren's (Adam Driver) mysterious acolytes would be returning to the fold.

And while the Knights do appear in a few scenes, their presence is almost completely muted throughout.

Even ignoring the fact that they're easily bested by Kylo Ren near the end of the movie, we learn nothing new about the Knights' history, particularly the possibility that they were Jedi students training alongside Ben with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).
