Ren's helmet was a symbolic reminder of his lineage as Darth Vader's grandson, serving no practical use in his life. After breaking free of Snoke's rule, Kylo redons the helmet marking him as a Knight of Ren, but this time on his own terms. The reforged helmet carries the luminous webwork of Sith alchemy - its fused shards mirror the breaking and rebuilding of Kylo's identity. Through the work of a skilled Sith alchemist, the shattered helmet was repaired using a latticework of red Sarrassian iron. It became stronger than ever. A pity the same cannot be said of the child who wears it." ―Darth Sidious [9]

You’ll feel as though you are flying a ship yourself. Star Wars Helmet Collection 46 ( Highlights of the Saga: The Hunt for Luke Skywalker) (Picture only) An eccentric Symeong, Albrekh was trained in classical metallurgy and was capable of smithing feats unheard of by the time he repaired Ren's mask. When beginning work on the object, he rubbed his hands together in anticipation then solved the puzzle of the fitting the pieces together with uncanny perception and speed. When soldering the pieces, Albrekh painstakingly applied the iron and worked with severe patience, focus, and precision. [5]In an interview between director JJ Abrams and Empire, he explains that "Having him be masked, but also fractured, is a very intentional thing. Like that classic Japanese process of taking ceramics and repairing them, and how the breaks in a way define the beauty of the piece as much as the original itself. As fracted as Ren is, the mask becomes a visual representation of that. There's something about this that tells his history. His mask doesn't ultimately hide him and his behavior is revealed." From Boba Fett to Wedge Antilles, you can choose from your favorite movie or tv show characters. Since 2015, they have released a variety of characters’ helmets and some of the same. No matter which movie you want to base your costumes on, they have an option for you.

The shattered fragments of his helmet were given to Albrekh, a Symeong metalsmith with close ties to the Knights of Ren. [2] At first, Ren doubted that even Albrekh's skills could repair the damage to his mask, but his concerns were allayed as he witnessed the Symeong's work. Using his knowledge of Sith alchemy and access to a Sith forge, [15] Albrekh painstakingly reconnected the helmet's pieces, using Sarrassian iron to weld them together. [2] With all of the stormtrooper and Boba Fett helmets, there is of course one designed after the famous Mandalorian as well. With a stuffed Baby Yoda and this helmet, you can perfectly replicate his costume from the movies.The range finder on the outside can be flipped down. When it’s down, it lights up with flashing LED lights. With Kylo's arc coming to a close in The Rise of Skywalker (at least as far as we know as of this writing, prior to the release of the film), Driver undoubtedly had to get into a certain frame of mind when portraying the character. What helped him get there? The cast and crew, whom Driver said gave him "ideas in the moment"; the set, which he described as "so clear and beautiful and that gives so much information"; and, of course, Kylo's costume — new helmet and all. Kylo Ren's reforged helmet was strengthened through Sith alchemy. Sarrassian iron was painstakingly applied between the shards of the shattered helmet, creating a bright red alchemical web [2] that resembled crimson lightning [15] or scars. [16] The resulting helmet was heavier and smelled of molten iron, [15] but was stronger than the previous version. [2] The helmet retained its ability to alter Ren's voice, giving it a "distant and mechanical" tone. [15] Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, including the destruction of Kylo Ren's helmet aboard the Supremacy, to 34 ABY.

I said leave it! You cannot hide behind a mask here. You cannot pretend to be Vader in this place." ―Snoke, to Kylo Ren [18] Snoke made Kylo Ren angry intentionally so he could make the Force-bridge thing between Kylo and Rey. From the transcript J.J. Abrams Has Confirmed a Big Kylo Ren Fan Theory About Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker by Nero, Dom on www.esquire.com ( October 1, 2019): "J.J. Abrams confirmed in an interview with Empire that Kintsugi is a factor at play in Rise of Skywalker for Adam Driver's rage-induced dark lord. He said: "Having [Kylo Ren] be masked, but also fractured, is a very intentional thing. Like that classic Japanese process of taking ceramics and repairing them, and how the breaks in a way define the beauty of the piece as much as the original itself. As fractured as Ren is, the mask becomes a visual representation of that. There's something about this that tells his history. His mask doesn't ultimately hide him and his behavior is revealed."" (archived from the original on December 30, 2019)This helmet can be taken apart into two pieces. The front has an electronic voice changer to mask your voice, making it the rough style of Rens. Inside are adjustable straps to fit the helmet to your head. Kylo Ren does indeed sport a new helmet in The Rise of Skywalker, built from the pieces of the helmet he broke in The Last Jedi after Snoke belittled him as "a child in a mask." The reworked headgear features jagged silver bits and red vein-like stripes running across it, evidence that Kylo welded the sections together to create a new helmet out of the old one. Just like the Poe Dameron helmet, Luke’s helmet doesn’t cover the entire face. It has attachable Velcro padding for the inside and a chin strap to make it a comfortable fit.

When the outer mask is removed it makes a hissing sound. Whereas when it is sealed, it makes a thunk. The helmet also makes Darth Vader’s iconic breathing sounds. Since Star Wars’first creation in 1977, Darth Vader has been a favorite character for everyone to Cosplay. From his iconic voice to his illustrious presence, he is an intimidating Sith for sure. Shortly after Snoke insults Kylo Ren's Vader credentials, we get the helmet smashing scene, meaning Kylo's possibly believing it (TLJ makes us think, at least for a short while, that Rey can redeem him).

Costume Designer: Seeing Kylo Ren's Mask Destroyed Was "Like Going From Obama to Trump" on Slashfilm (archived from the original on June 1, 2020) It is adjustable and has interior padding. Like the other helmets, the padding can be taken out if desired. The interior also includes detailed designs. It's safe to wear." ―Albrekh has dialogue in the novelization of Episode IX that is not present in the film [5] The Axe Woves helmet is based on his appearance in The Mandalorian and uses the same sculpt as the Death Watch Mandalorian helmet. It therefore shares the same features. Adjustable or a snug fit, moveable electronic range finder, with an awesome paint scheme to boot! Add this to your collection today! Driver also shared that he "definitely" experienced a sense of ownership over Kylo Ren, but never felt like he had a full "control" of him and never shut himself off to ideas about where the character would go next. This was helpful going into The Rise of Skywalker and during the making of the film, which had huge responsibilities in following up a different director's artistic vision and concluding the Star Wars story that began over 40 years ago.
