2. The Casino Planet?

So, if he's going to be broken out of jail as an "expert gambler", where is he going to be using those skills? Well, in Star Wars' version of Las Vegas, obviously.

Some details of the mysterious "Canto Bight" planet setting have also previously been reported, which are key to understanding the context of Del Toro's character. This is clearly where Finn and Tran's character take him (and possibly also where he is broken out), since the sets appear to be the same according to rumours.

Making Star Wars say that it's possible that Canto Bight - which was doubled using the sets in Dubrovnik - is in fact a code-name, but it's too much like a Star Wars name to really convince of that.

They say that it's an entirely new creation that makes for an unforgettable Star Wars location, and the description of it as a "medieval-looking city dressed in neon" is certainly intriguing in that respect.
