RUMOR: Kylo Ren To Have New Helmet In ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

In a recent report, a new rumor was posted regarding Star Wars: Episode IX. In it, sequel trilogy antagonist Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) will reportedly don a new helmet and droid BB-8 will have a new sidekick.

The report in question came from MakingStarWars.net where the writer confirmed a story that had been posted on the Reddit forum StarWarsLeaks. Both discussed the possibility of Kylo Ren having a new helmet. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren destroyed his older helmet after being provoked by Supreme Leader Snoke, (Andy Serkis). But if this Reddit forum and MSW are to be believed, he will have a new one in the Episode IX.

The new helmet will reportedly be a reforged mask. It will feature a red, crystalline bonding materiel, which is designed to give the the helmet a more corrupt look to it. It is unknown how often he will wear the new helmet in the film if he, in fact, wears one at all.

In addition, the film may feature a new droid and will be BB-8’s new sidekick. The droid in question reportedly has a megaphone look to him and will treat BB-8 as some kind of parental figure and will grow very attached to him. If true, it seems that we will be getting an unusual subplot for droids in this latest Star Wars film.
