Three major new characters will be in The Last Jedi: Kelly Marie Tran's Rose, a maintenance worker in the Resistance; Laura Dern's Vice Admiral Holdo, a high ranking member of the Resistance; and Benicio del Toro's unnamed character, a shady fellow with unknown allegiances who is referred to as DJ on-set (for reasons that will be apparent in the movie, apparently).

We know the most about Rose, who'll have the biggest part of the newbies as she goes on a mission with Finn for the Resistance, but what about the other two?

Being high-up in the Resistance, and clearly someone with a lot of flamboyance, could we see Holdo butting heads with Leia during the movie? As for del Toro, the most likely place for him to turn-up feels like Canto Bight, even though he's not exactly part of the galaxy's hoi polloi, but with so much unknown about his character it's hard to guess how he'll really fit into things.
