One question Star Wars fans have is "who is Kylo Ren?" Ever since the new character first appeared in the trailer, everyone wants to know more. In an interview with Empire, director JJ Abrams revealed more about the character, including who he is, which isn't a Sith.
"Kylo Ren is not a Sith. He works under Supreme Leader Snoke, who is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force.”
Where did this idea come from? Abrams went on to explain Ren and the First Order's role in the upcoming film.
“That all came out of conversations about what would have happened if the Nazis all went to Argentina but then started working together again? What could be born of that? Could The First Order exist as a group that actually admired The Empire? Could the work of The Empire be seen as unfulfilled? And could Vader be a martyr? Could there be a need to see through what didn’t get done?”
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens up on December 18, 2015.
