Kylo Ren is now referred to as "Supreme Leader Kylo Ren."
Now that Supreme Leader Snoke is dead, someone has to take his place. It looks like Kylo is stepping up to the occasion. Lego boxes and Hasbro Black Series figurines display his new title. As teased in the D23 footage, Kylo will be wearing his repaired grandfather's helmet in the new film.
"As Supreme Leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren wields more power than ever before. Nevertheless, Ren continues to search for secrets of the Force from the depths of the dark side," reads his character information for "The Rise of Skywalker."
The Black Series figure above will be available for $19.99.
We'll see more of the Knights of Ren.
Hasbro is going old school and using the retro Kenner packaging and style on some of its "Rise of Skywalker" figures. That's where I came across this Knights of Ren figure.
Don't recall them? That's the group Kylo was with when they burned down Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. It looks like he's bringing them on board to help them run the First Order. What can possibly go wrong?
The Knights of Ren figure above is part of the Vintage Collection and will be available for $12.99.
A Lego set shows even more followers of Kylo.
A few new faces are seen with Kylo Ren here. Take a look at another member of the Knights of Ren, the new Sith Trooper, and General Pryde.
Kylo Ren's shuttle will be available for $119.99.
Get ready to see this little droid, D-O, every where.
The Hasbro team has been working on "The Rise of Skywalker" products for the past year and a half. They work pretty closely with Lucasfilm, but were told a bit later on about the little droid. D-O.
According to a few products I saw with the character, it looks like he'll run into Rey and BB-8 in the new movie.
"Cobbled from odds and ends in the workshop of a droidsmith, little D-O is an impressionable little roller that becomes fixated upon BB-8," reads the droid's character description on a box.
His presence was one of the main attractions with the Hasbro team. Similar to when a remote-control BB-8 came to the market for "The Force Awakens," Hasbro invested in two versions of D-O. One is a more expensive $149 Target exclusive droid which lights up and can be controlled via Bluetooth through an app.
A second, more affordable, $59.99 one, which I tried out, seems like a great alternative. It comes with an actual remote and is a speedy little thing that can zip around. Disney is obviously hoping D-O becomes its next BB-8 in terms of popularity.
Rey seems to be a bit conflicted.
"Rey continues to study the Jedi ways, but she grows concerned about what the future — and the Force — may hold in store for her," reads Rey's character description.
Is Rey worried about getting lured to the dark side of the Force? Kylo wanted her to join forces with him in "The Last Jedi" and the latest teaser for "The Rise of Skywalker" ominously showed Rey going dark with a red lightsaber.
The Black Series figure will be available for $19.99.
New character Jannah is getting her own figure. Her character description reveals she's from "an oceanic moon."
"From an oceanic moon, Jannah leads a band of warriors, ready to charge against the forces of the First Order," reads Jannah's character description.
Naomi Acki will play the character. Many are under the impression she may be Lando Calrissian's daughter.
The above figure is part of Hasbro's Black Series line, which will retail for $19.99.
Keri Russell's character, Zorii Bliss, has some sort of connection with Poe Dameron and may have her own droid.
Zorii Bliss, first revealed earlier this spring, is getting her own action figure and is featured in a Lego set.
The Lego set shows her with a Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter and Poe Dameron. The set also comes with a turquoise-colored astromech droid, which could belong to her, as well as D-O. At Star Wars Celebration in April, Russell suggested her character knows Poe.
"She's very cool and a little bit shady. She's kind of a criminal and sort of this old friend of Poe's,"said Russell.
A description from Lego makes it sound like Zorii is on a rescue mission to save Poe:
"Fly in under the radar and pull the trigger to help Zorii Bliss release the bombs. Send the First Order Snowtrooper scrambling for cover and then rescue Poe Dameron, D-O and the Astromech Droid."
Hasbro's Vintage Collection figure will be available for $12.99. The Lego set will be available for $69.99.
A new character is featured hanging with Lando Calrissian on the Millennium Falcon.
Another "Star Wars" movie means Lego is releasing another Millennium Falcon. This one pairs Billy Dee Williams' Lando Calrissian with Finn, BB-8, D-O, and a new mystery character named Boolio.
The Millennium Falcon is 1,351 pieces and is recommended for ages nine and up. It will be available for $159.99.
One of my favorite new characters is this little guy named an "Offworld Jawa."
We first saw Jawas on Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tattooine. As his name suggest, this guy left the planet.
"Ships travelling to and from Tattooine resulted in some Jawas leaving their desert home-world. Those that do arrive on new planets continue their old habits in their new surrounds, but their obsessive need for techonology still drives them," reads the character description on the Black Series box.
The Offworld Jawa will be available for $19.99.
