The director said that the weapon was “as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged” as the villain. The director said that the villain is aware of Vader’s history and this connection will be a part of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”Ībrams also revealed that the crossguard lightsaber that Kylo Ren was seen using in the trailers was built by the character himself.

Speaking to EntertainmentWeekly, Abrams had said that the forthcoming movie will reveal the origins of Kylo Ren’s mask, and said that the design of the mask was meant to be a nod to the mask of Darth Vader, a character who died long before the birth of Driver’s character. The images show a black armored figure carrying a red lightsaber.

Sources familiar with the developments of the movie have apparently revealed that early iterations of Kylo Ren’s (Adam Driver) costume may have been used to create the design of the group that he belongs to. Images posted on IndieRevolver show what may be the costume design of the Knights of Ren.

Abrams had previously confirmed that the villain Kylo Ren had received his name after joining this group, but did not give more details about it. Pictures of the mysterious group, called Knights of Ren, in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” have apparently been leaked online. Details about Adam Driver's character Kylo Ren and his group Knights of Ren in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' surface online, along with supposed leaked pictures of the group's costume in the movie.
