I thought Aslan wasn't on the Dawn Treader, it's just his reflection in the mirror. Lucy sees him while staring at the mirror. So he isn't fysically on the boat. If you look very carefully you can see a bit of Lucy's hair right on the screen. Link I'm really wondering how all these pieces fit together. But we all now they've extended the slave trade on the Lone Islands. It's not only a search for the seven lords anymore. I just hope it all makes reason for the bookfans and general audience.

^Yeah that's a good thought! I love your thinking Silver, you think more beyond things that I wish I can do myself.

Haha thanks!

Or it would be awesome considering the Caspian/Lilliandil romance, if Ramandu is in the movie, Lilliandil tells Caspian that all along the main blue star Caspian should be following was her fathers and a look of disappointment comes across his face because all he wanted to follow was her.

That would be so great!

Yes!

Alright. So that's Dark Island. What about the Magician's Island? Why does that island have to come so early in the movie, and what role does Coriakin play? I think maybe he'll know more about the islands to come than he does in the book. In the trailer, he throws a magic map...so maybe he'll give the Dawn Treader crew a map to go by?

I was also wondering how he knows everyone was "about to be tested". Then I remembered that in the book, Aslan shows up at Coriakin's house and could easily tell Coriakin what to tell everyone else.

And that got me thinking. You know that shot in the trailer with Lucy and Aslan, where Aslan says "Welcome"? A lot of people assumed that Aslan is on the Dawn Treader. But what if this shot is from the Coriakin's House? I'm suspicious because a) He's talking to Lucy (who was the first one to go into the house), and b) He says, "You have come far." According to the island order on Narnia.com, the Dawn Treader will have already been to the Lone Island before coming to the Magician's Island. That can be considered "far".

Any thoughts?

I was guessing Coriakin's a magician so he just knows things. I like your idea better and hope that's the reason.

I thought by "a long way" he meant from our world to Narnia. I could be very wrong though, and likely am

I think Aslan is in the mirror as well, but I also think Lusy's on the ship. Something about the setting and the lighting makes me thing she's getting ready for bed on the Dawn Treader, I'm not sure why though. It just looks shipish to me.

DJ, I would hope, for the sake of of being close to the book, that Ramandu is in the film. But if he isn't, I would say that would be better for Lilaspian. Caspian would find out that she was leading them all along and be amazed by her. It would also give her more screen time if they basically gave Ramandu's role to her. He kinda took the attention away from her in the book imo.

Just in case there was still any doubt about the new Island order, in particular the Deathwater + Dragon Island merger, here is a shot from the new clips which clearly show the Dragon's Treasure (from which Eustace takes Octesian's arm ring) with a small river running though it (upon which Edmund and Caspian are shown to stumble)

...to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold....

It looks to me that after Caspian and Edmund stumble across the treasure, they work out how the "Deathwater" works by dipping Eustace's shoe in it. It kind of explains why all these gold objects were scattered along the side of the river valley. Octesian's skeleton being present would seem to suggest there will be no "old dragon" which had hoarded the treasure thusly.

The other main implcation for the island order from these new clips, again something we kind of already knew, is that it appears from the way Eustace is talking in the rowboat that he doesn't get dedragoned till very near the end of the movie, as he seems to be talking about a very recent "undragoning" and is making a very heartfelt apology, which wouldn't mean a thing if he waited half a movie to actually apologise after Aslan saved him.

That means that Eustace will be a boy on The Lone Islands, to Magician's Island and up to Goldwater Island. That he will then become a Dragon on Goldwater Island, through Ramandu's Island and right up to and including Dark Island. And that he will then be turned back into a boy in time for the final trip to Aslan's Country.
