According to Indie Revolver, this newly leaked helmet design to said to belong to the character of Kylo Ren. Not only that, it is also said to be one of the final production art pieces of Kylo Ren.
The flared dome is reminiscent of Vader’s, of course, and he wears it beneath a hood, not unlike the Emperor’s. The hood and cloak are ragged and tattered in many shots, but we have no way of knowing if that’s his style or if the events of the film leave him in rough shape. We’ve been told that the final helmet includes the scribed lines around his brow, but no longer colored in yellow. The facemask is removable – a trait which appears to be shared by some of the Episode VII troopers – which leaves Kylo more similar in appearance to his scenes with Vader’s helmet.

The website also went on to say that they are vigorously attempting to confirm a new rumor that Kylo Ren's lightsaber, in the beginning of the film, is the wampa lightsaber as seen in
previously leaked concept art. If that is the case, it could indicate that his broadsword lightsaber, seen in the teaser, might be a Sith Relic; this would indeed support the "relic" rumors. It should also be noted that this piece of concept art closely resembles the
leaked image of the four six-inch action figures seen earlier.
What do you think of the helmet? Personally, I love the design and am eagerly awaiting to see this beautiful piece on film. As always, leave your thoughts in the comments section below and let us know what you think.
