STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI May Feature An Awesome New Look For Kylo Ren
We'll get our first look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi later this month, but a new report claims to shed some light on a new look for Kylo Ren sure to make Darth Vader fans very, very happy indeed...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens made it clear that Kylo Ren has a serious obsession with his Sith Lord grandfather Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, but according to a new report from Making Star Wars, we can expect to see that grow in a significant way by the time the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi take place. There have already been rumblings that we'll revisit Vader's castle on Mustafar alongside Kylo, but apparently a subtle - but still significant change - will be made to the villain's costume.
His tattered half-cape from the last movie has now been replaced by a full version very much in the style of Vader and it may actually be one of those belonging to the iconic bad guy (because he obviously wore more than just the exact same one for all those decades he was stuck in that suit).
Apparently, Ren's mask will also undergo a few changes, while his actual face is now going to feature a pretty horrendous looking scar he can blame on Rey after their duel at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Here's some rather cartoonish fan-art from the site revealing what we can expect to see:
