    Benicio Del Toro as DJ in the Last Jedi.


    [​IMG]

    Hey all my Star Wars Fans​

    Who is this well we know star Benicio Del Toro in the Last Jedi as DJ? Some say he is the new Han Solo of Star Wars, other also said he is the guy who stole the Millennium Falcon from Han Solo. Some are saying he is Ezra from the Rebels, but I doubt because he would be older than Luke. Some say he can even be Rey's father, even DJ being short for Dark Jedi. The theories are thick and much related to DJ new character in the Last Jedi so much so we do not even know his real name.

    Director Rian Johnson has hinted that fans will see that there is a reason behind the “DJ” nickname that will be revealed in the film. What we do know that DJ is a person of interest that the Resistance is looking for, and Finn and Rose are out on a mission to find him in a cat and mouse chase at Canto Bight. Rian Johnson also shared that Canto Bight is inspired by James Bond films and Hitchcock’s classic thriller, To Catch a Thief.

    [​IMG]


    As we see DJ on his ship in all black wearing all black and with a ring on his hand, his shirt collar looks like Snoke's cloak and even a ring similar to Snoke's ring. Hey, I just said a lot, there is even a shot with DJ with bb8 on a ship. So is DJ a good guy or bad and a person that is all for his self. Question to ask why Finn and Rose are seeking him out for what information or need do they need him for. Another question is DJ with the First Order and why his jacket looks like Snoke's cloak? Is he Snoke behind the curtain such as the wizard of Oz. Or is he a member of an order that Snoke is part of, that why they both are wearing black. But leaks of Snoke he is now wearing gold.

    There are many questions to ask about DJ in the last Jedi, some even say he is a student of Snoke such as Revan but we will come to know soon.

    Will DJ be a mentor to Finn and Rose, or fight along side with them?

    The real question I like to know is DJ force sensitive and is he on the side of the light or side of the dark or a gray force user ( I had to throw that one in also). Does he have a purple or red lightsaber in a box like Maz, or a crate full of guns and bombs?

    Some assumed spoilers have said that DJ will throw Finn a weapon when he fights Phasma who will be welding a silver spear. Will he throw Finn a light saber or a spear and any other type of melee weapon?

    Is DJ a key to Rey's parents? Where they all part of an order? Also was DJ part of Luke's school they left the ways of the Jedi before Kylo Ren and the Nights of Ren destroyed it. Was DJ part of the Nights of Ren.

    Or is DJ just a gun runner shoot them up Mother Fu#@! That type of guy that gets the job done.
    [​IMG]

    That type of guy that is down right dirty but he good to have when you are in trouble he knows how to shoot up a place!! Get you out a Jam.

    Some think DJ will follow the pattern of Lando Calrissian and initially double-cross his Resistance contacts before ultimately helping them after a crisis of conscience.

    Judging solely by his outwardly appearance, he seems very disillusioned with the galaxy as a whole, and perhaps most particularly - the conflict in it. We're all thinking he's either a selfish bastard, outright immoral or both, right?

    I'd love for Rian to subvert our expectations here, because he has laid the groundwork spectacularly with this character, in regards to the marketing (or lack thereof) - he's essentially letting us fill in the blanks using our own flawed assumptions based on an incomplete or otherwise obscured context. Having him betray Rose and Finn at some point in the adventure is probably lazy, though still a valid choice to take the character - but having him be this jaded outlaw who's lost touch with his moral values and regains them after coming across two youthful idealists is more narratively interesting, if not more screen-time consuming.

    Then again, watch him be a two-three scenes bit role and have all our discussion about the character be for naught. The movie has ~135 minutes of time to spare and seemingly three plotlines to juggle as they converge into one. That's a lot of ground to cover, plotwise.

    I think DJ will first be introduced as a guy you shouldn't mess with. He seems like a bad guy, but he's a good guy in the end. You could compare him with Lando.

    Is DJ the new Han Solo? Edgier and more mysterious.

    Darth Janus? Made that up... think we're done with Darths.

    Dead Jedi.

    I adore the fact that basically any character that is in sort of the right age is automatically qualified as one of Rey's parents. :D

    The Rey's parent thing is an interesting thought- at least, I had never considered it.

    I hope he's more than just a "selfish smuggler" type. We've already had that. A lot.

    That's why I was glad Cassian was actually a lot more complex than that.

    He'll either be a crime lord (a la Jabba) or a Lando rip off. TPTB have a checklist to cross off while they make this trilogy and they are missing the two characters of that type. God, I hope they prove me wrong.

    You know, being Rey's father is something I had NOT considered. But now I have to go back and look at all the context clues that we've been given because I thought I remembered there being something in TFA that Daisey Ridley suggested gave some clarity on her parentage (or maybe she was just saying there was something in TFA that confirmed that she wasn't Luke's daughter). I will say this, if DJ is Rey's father, it's probably not something they reveal in this movie. I expect for them to just confirm that Luke isn't (or is) her father in this movie.

    I hope not. I want him to be a part of IX. Do you think he will be in IX?

    Some speculation is that DJ is a dark side force user like Kylo Ren but since the trailers and star wars' teasers people are not saying this anymore.

    Yes, you know why because of Finn and Rose if DJ is older they are going to need another mentor especially Finn if he does not deem to be a Jedi and train with Luke or Rey if Luke makes it out of 8. Then Finn going need some type of older mentor and it might be DJ.

    I think DJ will inhabit the underworld aspect of the SW universe. Part thief, part information merchant, pulls off heists, doesn't have an issue with killing when necessary. Maybe more like Clint Eastwood rather than Han Solo.

    He's probably like a Lando, or Dash Rendar. Just a sleezy dude to take Han's place for a little while.

    I don't know if it's of any importance or not, but Joaquin Phoenix was at first considered to play this part, but he turned it down.

    I wonder why? Maybe DJ is not a big part or a character just in 8 and we don't see him no more.

    He doesn't really appear in what one would consider as "blockbusters" (except for Gladiator, but that was seventeen years ago.) He also shot a couple of other films last year - maybe he didn't have time?I also think that DJ is not that important of a character and most of the recent Phoenix's role are the leading ones or what I would call in "main supporting cast."

    The thing that makes me believe he's not an important character, is he doesn't have a proper name. I believe DJ is the name the cast gave him on the set. Correct?
