I was rewatching the Facebook live tour of the last day of shooting for Ragnarok. They really don’t talk about much. The director says he can’t say much about the movie. As he was walking he showed off a random piece of scrap in the “spacete land.” It really wasn’t anything significant and he tossed it aside.

At the end of the video however, he referred to it as a Halastian brick. So I tried to look up what Halastian referred to in Marvel Comics. The closest thing I found was the planet of Hala, the former capital of the Kree Empire. Hala, in the comics, had residents which included Ronin the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer characters we saw in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Hala was destroyed in the comics, which maybe why the planet will appear as a wasteland in Thor: Ragnarok.

Now, I have 2 theories on how it became a wasteland in the MCU.

The first is that Ego destroyed it. This is mostly based on the fact that Peter’s father in the comics, J’son, destroyed Hala, so they could just change who destroyed it.

The second theory is that Hala was destroyed by the Celestials. This was originally based on the photo of the director of Thor: Ragnarok wearing a Celestial mask, and the knowledge that the Celestials had the Power Stone and used it to wipe out planets.

However, that got me thinking about Guardians of the Galaxy. During the scene with the Collector, he shows the Guardians footage of a Celestial wiping out a planet with the Power Stone. On the screen next to that one there is a blue skinned person dying from the Power Stone. That got me thinking that that person was a Kree and that the planet we see destroyed is in fact Hala.

That would also make sense in regards to the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy. It was footage of the Power Stone, an item of interest in the movie, and it would be footage of the Kree, the villains of the movie.

I think you could be onto something there. Another possibility could be that Hela herself destroyed the planet, being that she's the main villain of Ragnarok and "death" is kind of her think. Or it could all be rubbish, who knows.

Nice digging, man.
