Do the leaked concept art gathered from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" offer clues about who Kylo Ren is in the new installment of the epic sci-fi movie?

Recently, a photo depicting the rumored helmet used by Kylo in the film was posted by Indie Revolver online, together with several confirmations about the changes that were imposed by the designers before giving the instructions to the production team. According to the article, the final version of the helmet incorporates the scribed lines located in Kylo Ren's eyebrow, but it is not in yellow color. It also mentioned that the facemask of the helmet is removable, which means that it has a similarity with some of the troopers from "Episode VII." This could be proof that Kylo's helmet is somehow the same as the one worn by Darth Vader.

Does this mean that Kylo will be this generation's answer to the legendary movie villains that were featured in the earlier installments of George Lucas' franchise? Or could he surpass the achievements of other Sith baddies like Darth Maul and Darth Vader? 

Aside from the helmet, Chinese-starwars.com also unveiled an alleged leaked photo of several action figures featuring four characters from the upcoming J.J. Abrams movie. The action figures include Kylo, Chewy, Finn, BB-8, and Rey, giving fans of the film a glimpse of what they will allegedly look like when the movie is released on Dec. 18, 2015.

The highly-detailed action figures give clues on what kind of weapons these characters might be using in the upcoming film. Kylo's hands seem to be ideal for handling lightsabers, while Finn looks as if he is ready to fire a pistol. Meanwhile, Rey's hands seem to be very lady-like, which could mean that she will not carry any weapon at all. 

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures worldwide.
