Lucasfilm is set to release the final entry in the Skywalker Saga later this year, but fans still know very little about Star Wars: Episode IX.

Die hard Star Wars fans continue to dig deep for anything to do with the franchise, and many have questions about teases made in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. While Snoke continues to dominate conversations, others are curious about the Knights of Ren.

A new fan theory suggests there's a major reason why Rey and the Resistance have yet to run into these characters, and it's because there's a big impact this meeting will have on the new protagonist of the Star Wars franchise. But that could change when Star Wars: Episode IX premieres next year.

This seems a little unlikely given how little clones have factored into the sequel trilogy of the franchise, but this is Star Wars. Crazier things have happened.

So far, this remains a major mystery. Director J.J. Abrams introduced the concept of the Knights of Ren in The Force Awakens, but Rian Johnson decided to omit them for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

There's a lot of mystery surrounding the next film in the saga, and many fans are eager to find out how the franchise will finally end. It's a tall order, but Lucasfilm and Abrams seem eager to answer the challenge.

We'll find out when Star Wars: Episode IX releases in theaters in December.
