The epic final showdown between Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) at the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi culminates in the revelation that Luke isn't actually there at all, and has instead Force-projected himself from far away.

But there's one major visual clue hinting at this if you keep your eyes peeled on the ground during the confrontation: while Kylo Ren is shown to make footprints in the salty ground revealing the red surface underneath, Luke's steps don't affect the ground in any way.

There are certainly a few other giveaways - namely Luke resembling a somewhat younger version of himself - but this is definitely the most clever hint, and also the one most easily missed.
