Part 6 of EW’s ‘Star Wars’ cover story.
Its hard to know where Benicio Del Toros new character stands inThe Last Jedi even when he tells us.
People are saying that, but its like they read a different script than I read.

Seems like the Oscar-winner is an unreliable narrator here, but maybe hes just staying true to his character.
All we know for sure is that Del Toro plays a man who goes by the name DJ.
And his shabby appearance suggests someone familiar with the underbelly of the galaxy.

He doesnt fight for any side, Boyega says.

Like an animal, at any moment he could do something, and I didnt know what.
With DJ, the unexpected is the best we can expect.
