Star Wars: The Force Awakens reel: Four theories, four mysteries

Most fans may not even realize it, but J.J. Abrams is building them a puzzle.

Or rather, he’s giving audiences the pieces. If they want to see what’s going on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, they have to assemble it on their own.

The first trailer, released last November, was an impressionistic mood-builder. The second trailer, which debuted at Star Wars Celebration in April, offered a more in-depth look at the war-ravaged galaxy — but it still raised more questions than it answered. Now, with the behind-the-scenes reel that premiered this weekend at Comic-Con, we finally have enough dots to start connecting each into recognizable story points.

Here’s a rundown of what I’ve found – although there’s certainly more to uncover. Be warned: We’re venturing into spoiler territory…

Theory #1: THE WOMAN WITH THE RING

Theory #2: FRIENDLY FIRE

Theory #3: IF THE JACKET FITS …

Theory #4: C-3PO’S RED ARM
