Evil Must Wear Heels: Kylo Ren Officially Replaced by a Ruthless Sith Beauty in 'Star Wars'
The internet is already bracing for fierce debates over this new villainess.
Kylo Ren was the ultimate emo Sith — smashing helmets, torn between Light and Dark, and brooding amid explosions. He both annoyed and fascinated the Star Wars fandom, splitting fans almost as much as Jar Jar Binks once did. But now, the helm of the Knights of Ren has a new owner. And guess what? It’s a woman.
Meet Tava Ren — The New Dark Force
Tava Ren appears so far only in the Star Wars: Vader’s Legacy comics, but knowing Lucasfilm, "so far" is the keyword here. Issue eight shows her donning the helmet and claiming leadership of the Knights of Ren. And it’s not just for show — officially, to earn their loyalty, she must kill Kylo Ren. No, this isn’t fanfiction — it’s canon.
A Risky Move Between the Films
Set between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, Tava’s chances aren’t great. After all, we know who survives till the end. Still, that doesn’t stop the comic’s creators from cranking up the drama, unveiling "dark secrets" and throwing a new, bloodthirsty player into the space saga.
The Delicious Irony of It All
Kylo Ren, who was once Darth Vader’s "replacement," is now becoming the "extra" himself. It’s no shock that fans hate this move — many already thought Adam Driver was unnecessary in the new trilogy. But a woman leader in the iconic helmet, claiming that cult status? The internet is guaranteed to boil over.
From Page to Screen? The Disney Bet
Tava lives only on comic pages for now, but with today’s trend towards "strong and independent" leads, there’s no doubt Disney will find a way to bring her to the big screen. After all, it’s tradition: every new Star Wars generation needs someone to love — and hate.
