Star Wars: How Episode 9 Fixes The Last Jedi’s Biggest Mistakes

10. Reforging Kylo’s Helmet

The best Sith Lords or evil-types in Star Wars have helmets, masks or some other facial accessory. Just ask Knights of the Old Republic's Darth Malek or Revan, or y'know, Darth Vader.

You could even ask Kylo Ren, as although Rian Johnson was likely trying to address how Kylo's manufactured persona was built around his own grandfather, in smashing such a potentially iconic piece of apparel, it did more harm than good.

Fans decried the loss of their new evildoer's visual identity, and it's very telling that one of the close-ups in the teaser focuses on Kylo reforging his battered helmet that was once smashed against the walls of an elevator in Snoke's ship.

Going off the leaked poster (also seen above), it seems even after completion, the helmet retains its various red lines, showing where the different pieces were connected. This has the added benefit of hinting at the rage and fire of his true intentions inevitably shattering the facade of Kylo Ren, but that's something for the film academics to get lost in.
