    Was that DJ behind Finn and to the left of Rose when they're disguised as FO officers?

    So since we haven't seen any evidence of DJ on Crait (unless I missed something) or really any evidence of him anywhere past the Supremacy infiltration I'm wondering if he gets executed by the First Order just before they're about to execute Finn.

    That has been thought about.

    Or he turns out to have been working with the First Order all along, and sells Finn and Rose out...?

    That could definitely be possible. But if he does sell them out unless he pulls a Lando I imagine he'll get his comeuppance. Maybe the First Order executes him anyway or he dies in the explosions Finn and Rose set off.

    If you watch this footage back and forth, you can pick out the prison bunk beds behind Finn's head. So it is more than likely that they are indeed incarcerated.

    So not only does DJ break Finn and Rose out of Canto Bight Police Department's cells, he also arranges forged documents to get all three of them on board Snoke's Star Destroyer.

    He's a useful man to have around.

    Handy if your ship is First Order surplus as well.

    - Get's paid for busting Finn/Rose out of Canto Bight
    - Get's paid for using his ship to get onto the Supremacy
    - Get's paid for turning in Finn to the First Order

    He's a bonafide William Shatner - getting paid for every minute of his day....

    According to Phasma's comic she's pretty ruthless. Perhaps she is the one who encouraged DJ to sell out Finn and Rose to the FO, before having him executed. It would certainly save her the trouble of paying him.

    As much as I would hate to see Benicio Del Toro's character get executed, I could see Phasma doing something like that. We know DJ sneaks onboard the destroyer with Finn and Rose. I could see him double crossing them if he were promised a nice payment by Phasma, only to be crossed by her.

    I do not know if his character would ultimately be executed though. Maybe he would get away at the nick of time ;)

    So can we confirm that it is in fact DJ who speaks the words "Darkness rises" in the new TV spot?

    So many people are telling me it's Snoke, but I'm 99% sure it's not. Snoke completes the line..."and the light to meet it." But "Darkness rises" is almost certainly Benicio del Toro's voice.

    When asked if you want DJ to be loved like a han solo, "I'd like people to say" I want to see him more! "Call Phone and say" I will with him again next time Please! "

    Survives then.

    That's good, I hope he survives. He sounds like an interesting character for future stories.

    No, it's Snoke. It's all Serkis.

    If that is indeed Snoke, why does his voice characteristics vary so much? I mean it's not a subtle difference, it's huge.

    The theory that I have is that he does sell out Rose and Finn initially at first, but along the way he learns of a certain friend of Finn's who just so happens to be his blood relative and is on the Supremacy. So he double crosses the FO and helps Rose and Finn get on the ship. :)

    Unlikely, but makes for an intriguing twist.
