New Hints at Kylo Ren's Appearance in Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Making Star Wars has a new report about some new costume changes in the movie. Firstly, there’s two “Executioner” Stormtroopers that will be seen with Captain Phasma in several scenes, who carry some kind of electro-pike sort of weapon—otherwise, they look like normal First Order Stormtroopers, except with black shoulder pads and a black strip running from their helmet’s right eye lens over to the back of the helmet.

Meanwhile there’s also new talk of a slight visual update for Kylo Ren. It’s minor, but potentially revealing: he’s replaced his tattered half-cape from The Force Awakens with a full cape in the style of his grandfather, Darth Vader. There’s even potentially talk that it is actually Vader’s own cape itself, which would make sense for a man like Kylo Ren, who desperately wants to become Vader 2.0 (how the hell did he get it off that burning pyre on Endor intact if it is, though?). Interestingly, Kylo’s helmet will also get a slight update in the film—not a major change, but it’ll instead look much cleaner than the damage-marked one seen in TFA. What won’t be clean is Kylo’s actual face when he’s not wearing the helmet: a gruesome looking scar across his nose and down over his right cheek from his duel with Rey will give him a physical reminder of his past tustle with the new Jedi apprentice. Head on over to the link above to see some “accurate fan art” of the new designs.
