The Force Awakens' villain, Kylo Ren

Lucasfilm

Kylo Ren is described as a "dark warrior" who will lead a new group of stormtroopers in "The Force Awakens."

Much of the next "Star Wars" movie is still shrouded in mystery.

We don't know much about the plot of "The Force Awakens" and we don't even know what most of the characters will sound like on screen.

That's starting to change.

Disney unveiled its new line of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" toys Friday.

One of the most intriguing new toys is a voice-changing mask which allows the wearer to sound like one of the film's new villains, Kylo Ren. 

This guy, who will be played by Adam Driver ("Girls"):

The "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Kylo Ren electronic voice changer mask let's kids sound just like the film's "dark-warrior villain" with the press of a button. Here's how it looks.

We haven't been able to find it in a retailer yet, but others have gotten their hands on it. 

Disney employee David Popineau tweeted out a video showing off the new mask in action.

Here's how the new "Star Wars" villain will sound:

Pretty cool, right?

Here are the lines he says:

"I feel it, too."

"You know what I've come for."

"Together, we will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi."

"Don't fight it. You know you can't."

"I'm immune to the light."

That last line appears to be, "No one will stand in our way."

IGN found a talking Kylo Ren action figure with even more phrases.

Check it out below:

Here's everything the Kylo Ren action figure says. Many of the lines are the same as the mask.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Is it true, you're just a scavenger?"

"Don't be afraid."

"I feel it, too." 

"You know what I've come for."

"Don't fight it. You know you can't."

"That weapon is mine."

"Together, we will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi."

What do all of these lines mean? Let's over analyze them a bit with our best guesses.

"I feel it, too."

In the film, we know Kylo Ren will be working with a character named Snoke, a motion capture character played by Andy Serkis (Gollum, "The Lord of the Rings"). We imagine the two have a relationship much like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Ren is probably Snoke's apprentice of sorts. In the first teaser trailer we hear Snoke's voice say, "There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?" The "I feel it, too" line could very well be Kylo Ren responding in agreement with Snoke.

"You know what I've come for."

If you've been keeping up with fan theories on the film's plot, many believe Kylo Ren is on the hunt for Luke Skywalker's old lightsaber which he lost in "Star Wars: Episode V."

Here, it's most likely that Ren is talking to someone about Luke's thought-to-be lost lightsaber. Perhaps he's speaking with Finn or Rey who obviously stumble upon it. A new image released shows Finn ends up with Luke's old lightsaber.

"Together, we will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi."

This one seems pretty clear cut. Ren is most likely speaking with other members of the evil First Order made up of General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), and a legion of new stormtroopers.

From what we've heard about the film, it sounds like Ren is part of a group that isn't aligned with the First Order at the film's start. He's part of the Knights of Ren. Maybe he teams up with the First Order somewhere early in the film once they realize they have similar goals. "Together, we will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi" could be Ren discussing plans to team up with the First Order.

"Don't fight it. You know you can't."

This is one of the most intriguing lines Kylo Ren delivers. It appears as if he's speaking to someone on the light side of the force or one of the good guys who is conflicted. Ren has been described as someone obsessed with Darth Vader. That's why it's not a surprise if he's on the prowl for Luke's original lightsaber, which originally belonged to Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader.

Luke, like his father, possesses the ability to either be a great Jedi or a great member of the Sith. Maybe Ren runs into Luke and tries to convince him he should align with the dark side. That seems like a bit of stretch. 

However, we have a feeling Ren is actually talking to someone else. It sure sounds like he's speaking to someone he already knows. Maybe that someone is Rey.

Since we don't know Kylo Ren's real name (Ren is apparently a title similar to Darth), as well as the full names of Finn and Rey, perhaps he has some sort of relation to one of them. There's a rumor online that Rey's first name is actually Kira and that Kylo and Kira are brother and sister. If that's the case, maybe Rey has some sort of force powers as well.

"I'm immune to the light." 

This sounds pretty explanatory. Kylo Ren is definitely a part of the dark side and no amount of warm welcomes or interventions will convince him otherwise.

"That weapon is mine."

The weapon above is most definitely Kylo Ren's, but does he also believe there's another one that is destined to be his?

Again, if Kylo Ren is on the hunt for Luke's lightsaber, this line makes a lot of sense. Either he's speaking about the lightsaber in general or he's come across someone already in possession of it, who may be ex-stormtrooper Finn, and Ren is staking his claim.

Of course, there's also the possibility Ren can just be talking about his seemingly-awesome homebuilt three-pronged lightsaber. Something tells us he's talking about that other lightsaber, though.

"No one will stand in our way."

Again, this appears to be a line Ren is delivering to someone of the First Order or someone from his alliance about a plan to take down the Resistance and/or those pesky kids Finn and Rey.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

I imagine there are two possible things Ren is referring to here. If he's on the hunt for Luke's lightsaber then this is the day where he has finally come across it, perhaps in the hands of Finn. However, since Ren is also a worshipper of Darth Vader, perhaps he's also interested in Luke and has been hunting him down as well. Maybe they've finally met and this is the day Ren has been waiting for. 

"Is it true, you're just a scavenger?"

Rey, a mysterious scavenger on the desert planet of Jakku.

While it's not clear who Ren is speaking with here, the most obvious choice would have to be Rey (Daisy Ridley), who has been described as a scavenger. If that's the case, Ren must come face to face with her somewhere and may be under the impression that she's more than the person she presents herself as to him.

However, StarWars.com recently revealed another character Teedo who is described as a "small, brutish scavenger." Again, if Ren is on the hunt for Luke's lightsaber, Teedo could be someone he possibly hunts down.
