Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Simple Explanations That Would Have Improved The Film

6. Where Are The Knights Of Ren?

We see them briefly, in avision, and that's it: a group of shady characters who have been identified outside of the context of the film (reaffirmed briefly by Snoke) as "The Knights of Ren." The Force Awakens doesn't bother to expand any further on these unsavoury characters, however, once again leaving things vague and ambiguous. But a mere few lines about the Knights of Ren would have been really appreciated, because they're - for some reason - entirely absent within the framework of the actual film. Which means that, pretty much, they're all probably dead (or the group has disbanded). A nod to the group's whereabouts, however, could have really enhanced the mythology and teased future events more than that single, rain-drenched shot did.
