Serejai Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Knights of who? I don't remember those guys in the movies. I'm sure they were super important and I just overlooked them. Ship actually looks kinda neat but that price tag is quite high for only getting one minifig from the movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Jedi should have given us a cool sub-plot featuring them. So many wasted opportunities with that film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It's one of the few sets you can get the Knights of "who" in. Kylo Ren's shuttle gets you two more. I thought there were supposed to be 6 Knight minifigures but I can only find the two sets containing four of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many wasted opportunities with that film. I expanded on an idea I had over Sunday morning coffee. Based on the mess of things by the end of Rise of Skywalker I firmly believe that Disney made things up as they went along with their trilogy. I came up with this little bit of fan "fixtion": The Last Jedi: First we erase the lame subplots about running out of fuel, the flat Finn and Rose "love story" and casino planet all together. Rose Tico does not exist in this dojo. Act One: The film's focus starts on "Ben Solo" reuniting with his mother. After the tragic opening space battle he boards the Resistance ship and kidnaps Leia while she's in her coma (gives a reason to put her in a coma in the first place). He uses his force powers to awaken her to which she slaps him (better Kylo than Poe). She demands that he either frees her or kills her. He admits to his failings and apologizes (the best a Sith Lord can do). Conflicted he turns her over to Snoke who then demands that she is killed after she refuses to give up knowledge of Rey's whereabouts. Kylo refuses to kill his mother the same way he did his father. After a brief farewell between "Ben" (he's holding back tears) and his mother, Snoke's guards take Leia away to a holding cell for her eventual execution. The Resistance took a heavy toll during the opening battle and without Leia's leadership there is chaos. Cut to Poe and Finn planning a rescue mission for Leia. No longer trusting Kylo, Snoke instructs the Knights of Ren to seek out and capture Rey...behind Kylo's back. Snoke wants a new apprentice. Intercut through the first act we see Luke training Rey. Luke however isn't the bum he's made out to be in TLJ...he feels that he failed but instead of being grumpy he has taken on a heightened, non-violent form of "Jedi-ism"...kind of like Yoda in Empire. Second Act: Trying to understand his failed reunification with his mother, Kylo now turns his focus back to Rey. Their force telepathy scenes now have more relevance as he actually needs to talk to Rey about his failings with his mother. It also distracts him from Snokes orders for the Knights of Ren to seek out Rey. We still learn how Luke failed Ben but without the attempted murder aspect (never felt that was in Luke's nature). Rey also deals with some of the dark side temptations on the island. We see glimpses of her heritage though she does not understand (much like Luke during the Dagobah training). Back in Space; through a few action scenes aboard Snoke's ship, the Supremacy, Leia is rescued. This sequence could have been a nice throwback to the Death Star rescue in A New Hope (Leia could even give Poe or Finn a kiss on the cheek for rescuing her). They escape back to the broken Resistance armada and plan their next move against the First Order. This leads to internal conflict between Poe and others but Leia steps up and agrees that it is a battle that they need to win. Third Act: The Knights of Ren have located Rey and we actually get to see Luke and Rey fight together against them on Achto. The Knights however are too powerful and "mortally" wound Luke. Maybe he can have a dramatic send off by falling off a cliff. Rey is wounded as well (she needs to be physically scarred at some point during this trilogy). She is captured and taken back to Snoke. Luke is left for dead. Chewie gives chase in the Millennium Falcon but is overpowered by a fleet of Tie Fighters. He reunites with the Resistance where he apologizes to Leia for not doing better to save Luke and Rey. Leia and Chewie hug. Basically from there we can have a similar throne room scene with Snoke, Rey, Kylo and the guards. Kylo must prove himself in a duel between him and Rey. He refuses and Snoke tries to kill him. In a nice twist, Rey is the one who does the saber trick by slicing Snoke in half. With Snoke dead, Kylo reveals to Rey that he knows she is a Palpatine and her destiny is to join the dark side. Rey refuses. That's when the Resistance attacks and we have our final space battle of the film. Rey leaves to help her friends in this climatic battle. Now the nerd in me wants Luke to show back up in his X-Wing at this point but I also kind of like that he is thought to be dead so that he can triumphantly return in "Rise of Skywalker"... I know this is just fan fiction but I really think that the "The Last Jedi" could have been a much better film if it followed the above story line. The Force Awakens sets up many of these plot points to explore so it's not too much of a stretch to think it could have turned out this way.

I guess we should be glad they didn't put them in 6 separate sets. Although I don't care to own a single one of them. Most underused aspect of the entire sequel trilogy. Only time we really saw them in action was against Kylo Ren. So much for the "Knights of Ren". Maybe they should be called "Lackeys of the Emperor".
