Easily one of the biggest disappointments of The Rise of Skywalker and, honestly, the entire sequel trilogy, has been its treatment of The Knights of Ren, Kylo Ren's acolytes who were featured extensively in the marketing for both The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.

After barely appearing in The Force Awakens and being left out of The Last Jedi entirely, there was hope that this "final" film would fill in their backstory and give them something significant to do.

And yet, they get just a few scant minutes of screen time in this film, where we learn nothing new about them and they're effectively just fed to Kylo Ren for a cool-but-brief fight in the third act.
