NoviceNew episode star Wars, is approaching. For the first time in the audiovisual genre, the franchise will be fully immersed in the era of the High Republic. The project takes place a century before Episode I: The Phantom Menace, which turns 25 in 2024. Therefore, a priori, it will not be connected in any way with the rest of the films and TV series of the saga. Although this may not be entirely true. And the answer lies in its mysterious villain.
In the latest trailer Novice, star Wars finally showed the formidable antagonist of the saga. He is a Dark Side character who carries a red lightsaber and kills Jedi. However, his face is not visible. Instead, he wears a striking black helmet with sharp metal teeth. This outfit prompted galactic fans to formulate a theory that would imply a direct connection to the sequel trilogy.
It is assumed that by the time this happens Novice, the Sith have been extinct in the eyes of civilization for many years. It is known that in reality some still existed, for example Darth Plagueis the Wise, but they remained hidden. Therefore, it would be against canon for this villain to be a Sith and allow himself to be seen. However, this will not change the current history star Wars that he was another type of Dark Side Force user without the Sith rank. There are several examples such as Asajj Ventresswho was a student Count Dooku but he never became part of the Dark Order. There are also inquisitors Darth Vader and other Jedi who turned to the Dark Side. But the last great example is, of course, the Knights of Ren.
First Knight of Ren?
The Knights of Ren are a mysterious Order of Force-sensitive warriors belonging to the Dark Side. In this regard, they were not as powerful as the Jedi or Sith, but they made up for it with unrivaled combat and martial arts skills. In famous history star Warsactive during the New Republic after the fall of the Empire Palpatine. Their leader and teacher was Kylo Ren.
However, the truth is that the Knights of Ren lasted longer. Over the centuries, their name has become legendary due to the destruction they left behind in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. They were active during the era of the Galactic Empire (probably long before that), and when the New Republic was founded, their successors finally emerged with Kylo Ren to the head. They have their own creed and special clothing. This is what made Star Wars fans take notice. Novice.
The Knights of Ren wear black armor and sinister helmets, each distinct from the other. A description that clearly matches the villain Novice. At the moment, his exact origins and who the first Knight of Ren was are unknown. And when did this mysterious Order arise, about which so much is unknown. And this could become the plot of the series. This antagonist may be the first Ren, a title that will be passed down from generation to generation by the most powerful of them until it reaches Ben Solo. Thus, introducing a new Sith for the Jedi would not break canon.
At the moment, this is just a theory and it is unknown how it will develop throughout the episodes of the project. But it would no doubt serve as an explanation to quell the criticism of those who have already called the series flawed in relation to canon. Novice It premieres on Disney+ on June 5th.
