The Star Wars community has been going over the Last Jedi main trailer with a fine-tooth comb.
One eagle-eyed fan has spotted an extraordinary detail which may accurately predict the timeline of the movie by comparing it with the other footage already released, most notably the behind-the-scenes video and photographs launched at San Diego Comic-Con.
As always, it is the smallest detail which may actually reveal the biggest truths.
Rey was seen sporting a very obvious bruise in the previous footage but she does NOT have it in one key scene from the new trailer which suddenly changes everything about the expected timeline.
WARNING: MAJOR POTENTIAL SPOILERS.
Star Wars site The Stupendous Wave has reported on a fan observation that Rey clearly has a bruise in all the images shown of her on Crait.
Daisy Ridley is shown having fun with John Boyega on the white planet set and has an impressive mark on her face.
But it the climactic scene with Snok at the end of the trailer her face is blemish-free, which seems to indicate this all happens before she goes to Crait.
Does this mean she actually escapes Snoke? If so, who helps her?
Many popular theories believe the movie will end with Rey taking Snoke as her new master and Kylo Ren mirroring this by going back to Luke.
However, if Rey gets her bruises after the scene with Snoke, this destroys the previous theory and throws up the tantalising possibility that Kylo might help her.
When Rey says: “I need someone to show me my place in all of this,” it was assumed she was asking Luke or Snoke and the following shot of Kylo was a sneaky misdirection.
What if Kylo really is reaching out his hand to help Rey?

The Stupendous Wave also suggest that the shot of Kylo Ren reaching for his new lightsaber in Snoke’s throne room is part of the torture scene.
Is this the moment Kylo decides to rescue Rey and fight for her? Will they go to Crait together.
Will fans get the impossibly hoped-for reunion between Leia and her son?
Or maybe Rey and Kylo split up and he goes in search of Luke to atone for his past deeds? Or maybe Luke rescues Rey from Snoke?
Of course, it could also simply be an earlier scene where Kylo starts his training with the Praetorian Guard.
Only one thing is certain – fans will need all of their mind-calming Jedi tricks to stop their brains from spinning out of control trying to predict what will happen when the film finally hits the screens in two months.
