New Toy Leak Reveals That Kylo Ren is “Strong With the Force”!
This is definitely not a groundbreaking reveal, but this is the first time we officially see information about Kylo Ren and his knowledge of the Force…
This info comes from a 12” Kylo Ren toy spotted on e-bay:
A dark warrior strong with the Force, Kylo Ren commands First Order missions with temper as fiery as his unconventional Lightsaber.
Also there is a 12” Finn toy:
A trained warrior desperate to escape his past, Finn is plunged into adventure as his conscience drives him down a heroic but dangerous path.
And there will also be a First Order Stormtrooper and Darth Vader toys from this line!

can you title articles in a non – spoilery way? we are getting close and I want to pick and choose what i read.
This is a message posted on the cover of a toy. That’s part of the official promo campaign. That’s not a spoiler. You will hear this thousands of times especially after Force Friday.
ok viral hide- i am kind of letting myself know official releases, but you know what i mean – its nicer when the titles are ambiguous, and reveal below the jump – in this case its fine… like others say, if i really want to avoid stuff i wouldnt be here.
The more I see of Kylo Ren and “that” mask, the more I think that a great opportunity has been missed. Actually, I am starting to become annoyed at the “duck bill” imagery… a platypus maybe ok, but a Disney Duck??? That loses all credibility I’m afraid.
im so buying these. vader and kylo are gonna be cool
It’s going to get tougher and tougher for those of us who want to avoid spoilers.
especially if you visit spoiler sites while trying to avoid spoilers :/ which is sort of like why I moved to southern arizona to avoid the heat
Why are you at this site then? Go to Starwars.com for non spoiler news!
Kylo Ren being strong in the Force is about as non-spoilery as information gets, no offense intended.
Exactly. If he’s weak with the force, we’ve got problems.
Great article!!!!!!
Stay off this website if you do not want spoilers.
Kylo Ren = straight outta deez nuts
Because they are using practical effects, do you think that means that this is the actual model of Finn instead of CG? Like his stunt double?
Dude, not even funny. Go out a little bit
They already said that stop-motion animation is confirmed for TFA
Sound of another mic drop…
Nice to finally know he’s strong in the Force…officially! Now…can he use the Schwartz?
I’m not sure if Moranis is willing to put on giant mono-goggles and an octo-saber. He has too much self-respect.
Adam Sandler might do it though, that kind of BS is up his alley. 😀
‘Hate to say it, but Kylo still doesn’t look cool in toy form. IDK, I guess it needs to be imbued with the [hopefully] cool-vibe from the watching the film to really work.
Wait for some proper quality figures from manufacturers like Sideshow – I have their Malgus,Fett and Sandtrooper figures, top notch quality.
Yeah not really impressed with these toys. Kylos plastic hood is weird and his mask looks like a melted mess. Finn looks like a really boring toy being pretty much a dude in a leather jacket. All of these toys seem rushed.
The 6-inch Black Series Kylo Ren looks pretty good (minus the weird mold of the lightsaber). Just pose it correctly/realistically, and it’s good.
I feel like I’ve read this somewhere before. No matter: I can’t wait to see what else rolls out in Force Friday.
I thought the exact same thing. I’m fairly certain this info was on the back of the toys SW7N reported on in the past week or two.
Sporkers are okay. The folks who make the movie are spoiled. Therefore, viewing spoilers is the closest you are ever going to get to actual being a part of Star Wars production.
They go to such lengths to keep fans in the dark during pre, pro, and post production saying we don’t want to spoil the movie for the fans only to have it spoiled by marketing 4 months before it comes out anyway? Just do away with the secrecy and let the fans who want to spoil themselves do so.
The ones who want to be surprised shouldn’t go anywhere neat the internet for the next four months.
Besides the obvious and easy cash grab of Vader’s marketability, does anyone else wonder why he’s getting toys? Unless he’s coming back in force ghost form, I don’t like this at all.,.
No. Just the obvious and easy cash grab of Vader’s marketability. And linking any new, young fans to the older trilogies so that they’ll buy those movies and merchandise sets as well.
yeah, they’re also making toys of young luke, its just a cash grab
Yeah….they’ve never done that before………
I’d hope he was strong in the force, considering he’s been branded the main badguy.
Is star wars merch still a big deal like it was when the original trilogy first hit? I remember a month or so before empire came out me and my brother thought we had stumbled in to heaven in a toy store in liverpool with all the latest figures on display. We literally had to be dragged out of the shop asking each other why they were all dressed in snow gear, who was the dude with all the bandages (dengar). Who is this lando guy, what is a lobot? Oh the days.
If you don’t want spoilers stop frequenting spoiler sites!!! Whaaaaa wha wha! Wtf why is everyone so self righteous and sensitive?? Grow up and stick your trigger warnings up your fucking pansy asses
“The force is strong in my family”
-Luke Skywalker
…definitely getting that vibe.
I’ll be interested to see what Hot-toys or Kotobukiya have in store for Kylo.
The teaser shows him using The Force (Force push) and with the narration talking about an awakening in the force they end with the image of Kylo ignighting his lightsaber. So this is certainly not a spoiler to anyone who has seen the trailer(s)- which is everyone here including those complaining about spoilers.
Kylo Ren: A dark warrior strong with the Force. Son of Leia and grandson of Anakin Skywalker.
Finn: A trained warrior desperate to escape his past. Holding the lightsaber on the poster is a red herring, he is no Jedi.
Rey: Strong with the Force, as she is Leia’s daughter/granddaughter of Anakin. This is who Luke is referring to in the 2nd teaser trailer.
Can I borrow your crystal ball?
One out of three not’s bad!
If you really want to avoid spoilers, make sure you don’t read anything about the John Williams official soundtrack. Does anyone else remember a track titled “Qui Gon’s Noble End”? I can only imagine a track titled something like “Han Solo’s Heroic End” or some such.
Track 11 is titled ‘ Kylo spills Hans cocky entrails on the deck!’
I got pissed when I read that track title before watching the movie. Somebody from production crapped in the pants by allowing this…
Hasbro descriptions:
“Rey is a resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku.”
“A trained warrior desperate to escape his past, Finn is plunged into adventure as his conscience drives him down a heroic, but dangerous, path.”
“An ace pilot, Poe Dameron is a leader in the Resistance’s fight against the evil First Order. He soars into battle behind the controls of a modern X-Wing Fighter.”
“BB-8 is the spherical, loyal Astromech Droid of the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron.”
“A dark warrior strong with the Force, Kylo Ren commands First Order missions with a temper as fiery as his unconventional Lightsaber.”
“Clad in distinctive metallic armor, Captain Phasma commands the First Order’s legions of troopers.”
“A vigilant law officer on a mostly lawless world, the tough and humorless Constable Zuvio keeps order in a frontier trading post.”
Upcoming book description (Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary):
“JJ Abrams’ sequel introduces us to a whole new cast of heroes – Rey the scavenger girl of Jakku, Finn the runaway Stormtrooper of the First Order, and Resistance X-Wing ace Poe Dameron – and villains – Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, and General Hux, all of the First Order – along with the Legacy cast from the classic trilogy.”
Is there anyone else around apart from me ? who is just mainly interested in seeing this film on DVD/bluray. And not too worried about the added on extended wait which this method includes.
Cinemas don`t really do anything for me, never been a real cinema fan. But I have equal interest in the film. Cinema is a great experience no doubt, but its equally rewarding watching it while lazying in your own cosy home.

Kylo Ren and Rey are Skywalker/Solo.
This kinda makes sense and could explain why solo looks so down beat and rough in the trailer. He`s obviously just got released from some kind of rehabilitation or exile, after learning his son joined the knights of ren, and caused him to have a mental breakdown. On top of this he and leia divorced after rey ran away from home and they couldn`t find her, the atmosphere in the family household was just too much for her to handle. We could be heading towards a family reunion in TFA.
Thematically it makes sense: The Prequels were about Anakin, the original trilogy about Luke. So it would make sense that the sequel trilogy focuses on a third-generation Skywalker.
Secondly, Return of the Jedi ended with the revelation that Luke and Leia are siblings. So exploring the idea of siblings who are strong with the Force also makes sense for the sequels.
Kylo = S(KY)walker + So(LO). This is why Kylo chose this name for himself as a member of the Knights of Ren. It is a reference to his parentage (Leia and Han) and underscores his claim as the rightful heir to Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
Vader Clone..exactly what I hoped they wouldn’t do.
Actually, it looks increasingly like Kylo may actually be the opposite of Vader in many ways. Through most of the OT Vader was a bitter, cynical old man who had previously lost everything dear to him and thus felt that following Palpatine and the Dark Side were all he really had left, and didn’t seem to have any illusions that he was a bad man. Kylo, OTOH, seems like he’ll be much more of a young, idealistic villain who very strongly believes that what he’s doing is right and that his enemies are the ones in the wrong. At least that’s what we’ve been hearing about him so far.
What’s next a war of the stars!?
Yeaaahhh, He sure sounds like a morally ambiguous villain to me like they said.
Just one minor detail ive noticed with all these official and unofficial images of Kylo Ren.
If you pay attention to his lightsaber, in some photos, it has a visible metallic cross-guard with laser blades protruding out from then.
Then in OTHER images, the hilt has no metal cross-guard and the laser blades protrude from the hilt itself.
Then in Other images (specifically of the kylo ren toys) the metal crossguard is actually engulfed in laser energy.
This inconsistency is intriguing. I believe there is more to this weapon that we currently know
If I were wanting to peddle fake ep.7 merchandise, now is the BEST time to do so… just say’in.
Does anyone think that Kylo isn’t as scary because we have already seen Adam Driver
It is also worth mentioning that Poe is a “leader in the resistance”
In other news, BEWARE SPOILERS BELOW!
Supreme leader Snoke is a bit of a fascist.
Kilo Ren looks like a duck that’s been bill slapped.
I find it interesting that so many people have a need for Rey to be related to someone from the old cast. JJ stated that the character of Rey was open to an actor of any race. So that means that when people say that rey was made to look a legacy character, it makes no sense at all.
The Star Wars Battlefront III beta will begin a month before the game s release and give players the chance to play as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Heroes sometimes have to deal with far more than just a lone villain.
