    That's my guess or maybe he's wearing some sort of helmet that looks vaguely like a pair of headphones.

    Like Lobot? Only it's removable (which is why it's not seen in the VF photo). That would be cool. Like a Google Glass on steroids.

    ESB handled cybernetics in such an elegant way. I wonder why we don't see more of that in the SW universe.

    I hadn't made the Lobot connection but yeah something big and chunky like that.

    I still feel BDT is http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Eli_Vanto

    all we have is a code name from MSW

    he's the right age and with the spoiler of him having a 'fancy ship' could his ship be of Chiss design?

    I would have loved to see Lobot in the ST. Now working with the Resistance. Am I crazy?

    I don't think BDT is an existing EU or Canon character. I think he's someone new. He's probably someone who's "shady" but that the Resistance really needs for his particular skills or connections or something. And maybe he's a gun-for-hire or unreliable at first, but I think he'll meet Finn and Rose, and because of them he'll come around to believe in the cause and really help them.

    It'd be helpful to find out if there are other musicians involved in the score. I believe Williams has said he doesn't like doing that in-universe cantina type music, which is why he was relieved they got Lin Manuel Miranda to do Maz's pub song.

    Well, and I think it is smart to get someone else other than Williams to do the in-universe music so that it sounds completely different from the score. SW should get Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead who works often with PT Anderson, to create sounds for a SW in-universe song.

    There were some rumors last year for Max Von Sydrow, were really for BDT.

    "a retired Imperial from the Empire, who following the end of the war and treaty. Became a civilian with disputable loyalties. But who didn't rejoin the remnants of the Empire to form the First Order."

    I think there's a distinct possibility that del Toro's character is named DJ because at some point he'll use Ant-Man-like technology to grow superduper tall and then he'll lumber over to a First Order base, pick up the base and then yep you guessed it drop the base. Either that or he'll get in some sort of giant mech and drop the base or maybe he's a Force user and he'll use the Force to pick up the base and then drop it. Really anything's possible.

    I've had a look at some other (non-Star Wars) photos of Benicio del Toro and can't see the scar on his face visible in the shot of "DJ" that appeared in Vanity Fair and is in the tweet I linked to before.

    I think he will end being Ducain when it is all said and done. What would interest me is if we learn how he swiped the Falcon form Han and Chewie in the first place? That doesn't seem like something just an average joe nobody could pull off?

    in the picture he's a smug and content fat cat now that he's gotten his hands on han's freighter. he's probably a han fanboy. i mean he doesn't care han is dead, he just wants his stuff.

    Yeah you are probably right, I'm still holding out hope that he ends up being a good guy for a change. He generally plays the bad dudes, and although great at it. I'd like to see him be integral to the ST.

    I still believe he will end up being Rey's relative. Maybe not her dad. But somehow linked to her.

    oh no, i just thought of how he could find ahch-to because he, ducain, installed his own stupid special tracking device on the MF. nooooooo!

    i don't think i'm right, it's just for some reason, now quite fun to speculate about DJ (and holdo). the photos are so helpful.

    it'd be funny if after all this speculation he's in one scene, so they gave him no name and called him Duster Jacket guy, DJ for short.

    Not to worry. Star Wars fans usually require mounds of evidence and several tens of sources confirming the validity of a theory, before even thinking of considering that it may be true.

    Del Toro is playing Rian's arch-nemesis, Duncan Jones. It's obvious.
