This one kind of surprised me.
The trailers kind of implied that Rey was captured by Kylo on the forest planet where Maz Kanta lives.

There isn’t really anything new to gain from this image, but I just really liked it.
(I also recognize the background from the D23 B-roll footage.)

EDIT:
This quote accompanying the image below was kind of interesting. Not only does it say that Rey was abandoned at age five, but it also suggests that she might be Force sensitive.

"It’s a lonely existence scrounging for sustenance on a junkyard planet. Rey was ditched on Jakku by her family when she was a child and has no idea why — or why they never returned. “She’s been alone for a long time,” Ridley says. “When something occurs when you’re 5, you know what went on but you don’t understand the reasoning. She’s hopeful for what lies ahead, whether that involves the past or not.” So why hasn’t abandonment made her bitter, angry, and… prone to the Dark Side? “Hope makes people good, a lot of the time,” Ridley says. “You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed.”"

And here’s some confirmation of what we’ve been guessing so far about Imperial, or rather First Order, propaganda;
"… Boyega says soldiers raised from childhood to serve this remnant of the scattered Imperial forces are fed propaganda about the heroes of the Rebellion. Unlike Rey, he has learned a lot about Luke Skywalker — but he has been taught he was a villain who destroyed the benevolent Empire."
