Kylo Ren is the embodiment of evil. But what does his name actually mean? In his video, Patrick Caney dives deep into the meaning of Kylo Ren, Ren in Japanese means lotus. And lotus in Sanskrit means Padme. And Kylo can be decoded to mean sons. Patrick talks about the idea that Kylo Ren actually means son of Padme. And while being a son of Padme seems impossible, being a grandson of Padme seems very likely. This would make a lot of sense. He is obsessed with his grandfather, Darth Vader. He sees Anakin's lightsaber as his rightful prize and wishes to finish the work that his grandfather started. I like this theory for many reasons, but mainly because of its interesting connections with the Knights of Ren. So this would mean that the Knights of Ren are therefore likely inspired by their love of Vader. And Vader's love for Padme, this is a very large idea with huge implications. Simply by having Knights of Ren, plural with an S, we know many things about them. We know there are more than one. Where the Sith can only have two. TJ Abrams made it very clear that Kylo Ren is not a Sith. Possibly to express the Knights of Ren are also not Sith. The question remains, if Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren are not Sith, but they use the Force, then what are they? And how do they affect the balance? And even greater still, what is the balance of the Force? Of course, that topic is for my next video. Thank you so much for watching this video. If you like it, then please share it.
