The Information: When asked how The Last Jedi will pay homage to the late Carrie Fisher, Benicio del Toro stated that he "didn't get the opportunity to work with her" and that "the film itself will do that [pay homage to her]".

Translation: Leia and DJ will not share any scenes together.

Why It's A Spoiler: DJ has been described as a bit of a loose cannon, as a character who doesn't fight for good or for evil - he just fights for the highest bidder.

But if he were to fight for the good guys - i.e. the Resistance - wouldn't he eventually meet Leia, one of the Resistance's driving forces? Is the revelation that DJ and Leia will not meet an indication that DJ won't really mingle with the Resistance, because he's actually conspiring against them?

This aside, the simple fact that the two won't share screen time is a minor spoiler in and of itself. While watching a movie it's easy to play little guessing games - this character will go here, this character will do this - but now one possible scenario has been taken off the table.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
