Star Wars: 10 Things The Last Jedi Has To Explain

4. What Happened To The New Jedi?

Kylo Ren was trained by Luke Skywalker, and turned to the Dark Side. That much seems confirmed by the events of The Force Awakens. But was Kylo Ren the only one?

The whole 'one master, one apprentice' rule is very much a Sith thing. The Jedi Order of the old Republic trained dozens of Jedi after choosing them at a very young age. If Luke was doing something similar, what happened to all his other students?

It's possible they are the Knights of Ren, which begs the question what the hell happened to turn not just the unstable Kylo Ren, but all of them to the Dark Side. If not, were they all killed by Kylo and company? Did they flee to the corners of the galaxy, like Luke did? Where are they now and are they still in contact with their self-exiled master?

Whatever happened, there could be a bunch of wannabe Jedi somewhere in the galaxy, following the Dark Side, Light Side or neither.
