American epic space opera film, Star Wars: Episode 8, most popularly known as Episode VIII, will be hitting on cinemas soon. Speculations about the events that will likely be shown in the upcoming film are surfacing online.

Fans have been speculating that there will be more actions from the main characters of the movie and even though it will be released months from now, Episode 8 has been thought to be a hit just like its predecessor as producers have hinted more exciting events, making it one of the most-awaited films next year.

According to International Business Times, the director of the 2015 predecessor film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and executive producer to the upcoming sequel, JJ ABrams, has hinted about the revelation of Knights of Ren back story in Episode 8.

The source reported that fans will know more about the Knights of Ren and Kylo Ren (portrayed by Adam Driver) himself on how their dark past have been filled with violence and hatred and how Kylo Ren turned to a master of the darkness force.

These events will be put into detail according to the upcoming film's executive producer. It has also been reported that there will be a lot of massacres to be shown in Episode 8, as the story behind Kylo Ren's fall from grace will be expected.

According to Movie Pilot, putting into details the story of how the forces of darkness have been formed is a pivotal part of the Star Wars sequel trilogy story line because fans have still not learned how the group started and how they managed to be under Supreme Leader Snoke's plan.

The aforementioned source also reported that the upcoming sequel was also hinted by Abrams to feature more about Rey (potrayed by Daisy Ridley) and her Force vision. Apparently, Rey's vision contained more clues than the fans previously expected. Abrams revealed that Rey saw things she "could not comprehend" but were actually real, like when she saw the Knights of Ren with her own eyes.

Indeed, there are a lot of events that fans will be looking forward once the movie hits the big scree.

Star Wars: Episode VIII, is due to release on December 15, 2017.
