While we do n’t experience much about what ’s going to happen inGame of Thrones ’s concluding season , wedoknow that we can anticipate at least oneepic battle , which could combine not just Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen ’s forces , but alsoJaime Lannister ’s . We can guess that there will probably be some awkward aunt and nephew talks , and from the newly released trailer we know that we ’ll see a profligate - covered Arya Stark scared out of her boot and flow from something .

Since HBO released the first full - duration drone forGame of Thronesseason 8 to begin with this hebdomad , we ’ve been deluged withfan theories . One of the newest — albeit more or less pathological — ones claims that what has Arya so spooked in the trailer is the quicken corpse of one of her at peace relatives . More specifically : that the White Walkers resurrected one of the affectionately departed Starks , possibly Ned , and thatthat’swho is chasing Arya , fit in toIGN . Given that it would have to take something truly frightening to scare Arya , there is some plausibility here ( or maybe just some wishful intellection ) .

From what we can see , the extremely hoped-for engagement make place around Winterfell , so it would n’t be surprising if the White Walkers were able to break into the family crypt and resurrect some old faces . As we ’ve consider in the yesteryear , one of the White Walkers ' most horrific top executive is their power to reanimate the decease creature around them . Now some lover think that they will habituate that tycoon to bring a Stark or two back to life , which would be a real secret plan - auto-changer — especially if it means that we could see Ned , Catelyn , or Robb Stark as a villainous , zombi - like beast .

In the account book , Catelyn Stark does come back as Lady Stoneheart after her soundbox is discovered by the Brotherhood Without Banners . She ’s raise by Beric Dondarrion , who we do make love is still live from the new trailer .

On the other deal , if itisNed Stark chasing Arya , he ’d in all probability be headless , which may lessen the plausibility of this hypothesis . Then again , would a little matter like a lack of noggin be of any concern to the White Walkers ? For now , that ’s a head you ’ll just have to debate with your fellowGame of Thronesobsessives until the final time of year returns on April 14 .
