Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer - 13 Easter Eggs & Secrets You Probably Missed

5. Phasma Attacks A Resistance Base, Not The Jedi Academy

Thanks to the tricksy trailer editing, we're supposed to believe that Captain Phasma makes her unlikely return in the scene with Luke and R2-D2, who are watching the destruction of what appears to be the Jedi Academy in flashback (though there's a slight chance it's Ahch-To and the Temple).

However, that's exactly just what it is - clever editing - and isn't the same scene. Instead, based on the shiny floor and debris, and those beams you can see in the shot below, it very much looks like its the Resistance base where Poe's X-wing gets destroyed. Which really makes more sense for Phasma.
