The Kylo thing is one of the most obfuscated of Anovos' R&D fiascoes. Given all that was said, I do feel something like the following is at least somewhat probable:
• Via translators, drawings, photos, and materials lists, Anovos rep in China told whichever factory how to make the various soft goods they wanted.
• The initial test articles delivered were very much not what they wanted.
• Attempts to correct went badly (uncooperative factory? insurmountable language barrier? no idea, but something...).
• Decision to bring at least some manufacturing back States-side, and re-start development of Kylo soft goods from scratch.
• Fit hits the shan.
• Denuo Novo inherits the whole mess and starts trying to untangle what they've gotten themselves into.
• Pieces that are as easy as restarting production with supplies on-hand start going out first. Pieces that were close to completion but stalled front-burnered to get done and moving out. Pieces that were a hot mess inside a dumpster fire are taking longer to project, as they try to figure out what all is going to be needed to bring them to completion.
I am optimistic with their "earlyish 2022, we hope" for the FOTK. We saw the reverse dies, the many pulls, the test-assembled suit, and all the completed ensembles decorating mannequins in the "Rise of the Resistance" attractions, so I expect all that's involved there is either bringing the forms to the US or restarting production overseas (I have to go back and see where the newly milled forms and the multi-axis cutter were located). A logistical nightmare, but one they seem to be close to waking up from.
With the Kylo, I have no idea where Anovos was in the whole process when things stopped. I have no idea if they'd contracted for mills to make the fabric needed, if they had the supplies for the the proper coating, how long it's going to take to train the Texas folks in how to cut and assemble all those pieces. I do trust that as soon as they have a ballpark, they won't wait to announce it. They know it's the albatross hanging around the neck of the albatross hanging off Anovos' Star Wars license. Frankly, I applaud them for not throwing hopeful projections out there until they know what needs to get sorted. I do not take its absense from the list as a "we're not going to do the thing", but as a "we're not saying anything about anything until we know roughly what we're dealing with".
