UPDATE: 5/22/15
Been thinking about this a bit more.
Just found out 1.2.4 is actually an update created to lessen the wait for 1.3 using all new 1.3 stuff. Fishing, minecarts, Fishron, etc. were all originally part of 1.3. Now, I'm pretty sure there'll be a bit of space content, considering the reveal of Martian Madness. And I believe that Martian Madness is real; after all, considering my theory, where would the Laser Machinegun come from? There are a few other things that couldn't be explained otherwise too, like those sketches Crowno showed off and where they would come from. I also think that Cthulhu's head will only be a miniboss like Mourning Wood and Santa-NK1, and that the true Lunar Boss will probably be a moon goddess, which is where the armor Red's wearing in that picture would come from. A moon goddess fits with the theme of the event as well, as it could be a tide goddess or something.

Guys! Guys! I just had a breakthrough!
We all know that the 1.3 update is coming up, and we've seen a lot of cool stuff about it. We know that the focus will be the Lunar Event, right? The final boss in the game? Well, we all think it's about space, right? The Lunar Event is a space-themed event, right? I don't think so.
I think the main chunk of the update deals with the Ocean, much like 1.2 and the Jungle.
Currently, the hardest boss in the game is Duke Fishron. Added along with fishing, he's basically the Ocean's boss. He is also more of a side-boss, but I think that the Truffle Worms are now gonna spawn only after Golem... or something. Also, 1.2.4, the latest non-patch update, focused entirely on fishing, with fishing covering basically everything added in the update, including Fishron. Anyway, Fishron is... well, a fish, right? And you fight him in the Ocean. So I'm pretty sure he'll be the gateway to the new content.
Then there are the Cultists, with Cthulhu obviously on the coin. Cthulhu has had an overwhelming presence in Terraria without actually being there. You fight his eye, his brain, and Ichor is mentioned a lot in H. P. Lovecraft novels. And a ton of people are still suggesting Cthulhu as a boss even after Redigit himself said there wouldn't be one. However, that doesn't mean he won't include more parts of Cthulhu... Maybe exterior ones. We might be fighting his Head, who knows. And what I've heard is that Cthulhu... is a sea lord. Don't quote me on that, I've never read Lovecraft, but the sea is definitely what he's associated with most. Another clue.
What does the Lunar Event have to do with any of this?
Tides.
As you can see, the creatures do look spacey, but upon closer inspection they could also look like sea creatures. The floating tentacled creatures squid, the crawling things crabs, heck, the humanoids' ears look like fins, hinting that they could be merfolk like the ones that you transform into. And also, that "boss". Is that a tentacle beard? It looks like a tentacle beard. And is it a full body? Nope. It's a head. The Head of Cthulhu. But the biggest hint comes from the enviroment. What biome is it in? Forest. What is the background? Ocean. And while it could be near the ocean, I don't see a single block of sand.
And finally, what about the space gear? That, I think, comes after the Lunar Event. After all, Red probably tested this and everything, so he has the gear. And while the majority of the Hardmode expansion could be around the Ocean, the moon is still a giant space rock.
What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree?
