Last week , the trailerforStar Wars : The Last Jedipremiered during Monday Night Football , revealing Kylo Ren sporting some sort of patch we have n’t seen before inStar war . While directorRian Johnson warn about spoilers , fans who watched the trailer mostly found that it render more interrogation than answers . Luke Skywalker , Poe Dameron , Finn , Leia Organa , and Supreme Leader Snoke all figure into the trailer , along with a myopic clip of Chewbacca and hisnew Porg friend . But it ’s Rey and Kylo Ren , andthe parallels between them , that take middle stage in the trailer .

In some of the shots of Kylo Ren in the trailer , he appears with a calamitous banding on his face , apparently covering a scar . This band had some fan take to Twitter , making fun of unmistakable patch because it looked like tire tracks or a child ’s Band - Aid .

Am I the only one inquiry WTF is on Kylo Ren ’s side ? I get it you have a scar but why put race tracks on your face ? — liter a n n e ( @cupofinsanity)October 10 , 2017

The bandage is a result of Kylo Ren and Rey ’s fighting on Starkiller Base at the end ofThe Force Awakens . Rey terminate the fight with a sweeping puff with her lightsaber that slashes Kylo Ren across the facial expression .   Some fans took issuance with the placement of the bandage and Kylo Ren ’s scar inThe Last Jedi , saying that theater director Rian Johnson commute the location of the wound fromThe Force Awakens . Between the scratch ’s fix and its patch ,   Kylo Ren ’s boldness is   cause a surprising amount of controversy .

However , this visual marker really aid us to fabricate a timeline of some of the trailer ’s outcome .   In ourbreakdown ofThe Last Jeditrailer , Kylo Ren ’s " blank suture " boldness look when he is flying his TIE Silencer through a battle between the First Order and the Resistance . The trailer also makes it seem that Leia is present at the battle , and that Kylo Ren   will have an opportunity to kill her .

Kylo Ren ’s patch really allows us to learn quite a bit about this prospect in the prevue . Given that his wound has n’t full healed yet , it ’s potential that this struggle is taking place shortly after the events ofThe Force Awakens(2015 ) . This space fight , then , is pass off straight off or shortly after the events ofThe Force Awakens , throw it likely that Kylo Ren is fly with the First Order to attack   the Resistance base at the satellite of D’Qar .

In contrast , the late shot of Kylo Ren in the trailer , along with his picture in many of the posting and promotional shots forThe Last Jedi , shows   his scar without the bandage . For instance , when Kylo Ren seemingly ( depending on the honestness of the merchandising ) go his hand to Rey , his mark is dramatically reveal . The scar makes it clear that these issue are not a flashback , but emphatically occurred after the consequence ofThe Force Awakens .   This also at least give the impression that more time has passed and his wound has healed to a greater extent than when we saw him in his TIE Silencer .

get laid that Kylo Ren has a bandage while fly his TIE Silencer but not afterwards in the film , it seems logical that   the space conflict draw in the trailer happens early on in the chronology ofThe Last Jedi . If you were at all worried about the fate of General Leia while observe the laggard , Kylo Ren ’s patch should comfort you . It seems unimaginable that Leia would be kill early in the pic , especially given thatThe Last Jediwill be the last performance of the previous and bang-up Carrie Fisher . While it remains to be seen how Leia ’s journeying will conclude in the sequel trilogy , theatre director Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm will desire both Leia and Carrie to be properly celebrated inThe Last Jedi .

Regardless of how you find about the appearance of Kylo Ren ’s patch , it ends up being a helpful hint for fans who are prove to navigate the events depicted inThe Last Jeditrailer .
