The book says stand, but it's your call.' What happens in Canto Bight Running the tables The Canto Bight Police Department's record on Strench eventually became the longest in the sector. In truth, the persona was created to serve DJ to take the fall for his own crimes. Strench's name became known through Canto Bight, with a handful of individuals believing Strench to be real. He also created a persona called ' Denel Strench,' a big-time gangster who held DJ as his last living associate. The city turned into DJ's playground, where he used his slicing skills and equipment to steal money from Canto Bight's wealthy. Īt some point, DJ took residence in an apartment located in Canto Bight, a city located on the desert world of Cantonica, a planet known for its casinos and racetracks. He claimed to have a history with the First Order's technology. When it came to the factions fighting the First Order-Resistance War, he saw the tyrannical First Order and the ambitious Resistance to be two sides of the same coin, despite one seeking to impose a fascistic order upon the galaxy and the other resisting it to defend freedom. In his mind, good guys and bad guys simply did not exist. The only factions to him were his side or the other's side, with his side being the only one that truly mattered. As reflected in his motto, DJ lacked a belief in the black and white moralities of good and evil, and instead saw shades of gray, where no one was wholly good or wholly evil. The man known only as 'DJ', a nickname that was actually an abbreviation of his personal motto 'Don't Join', lived during the era of the New Republic both as a thief and as a slicer. Made his bank selling weapons to the bad guys. Let's see who formerly owned this gorgeous hunk-uh.

He offered his assistance for a price to the Resistance operatives Finn and Rose Tico after learning about their mission to recruit a codebreaker. His philosophy was influenced by his cynical views he therefore believed that both sides in the conflict represented two equivalent halves of a system breeding corruption and greed.Īt the time of the Resistance's evacuation from the base on D'Qar, DJ was residing on the planet Cantonica, where he used his skills to steal money from the wealthy patrons of the Canto Bight casino city. An amoral thief, he spoke with a stutter and was also skilled at slicing into computer systems. ' DJ,' shortened form of ' Don't Join,' was the alias of a human male slicer who resided in the galaxy during the war between the Resistance and the First Order. Live free, don't join.' ―DJ, explaining his life philosophy to Finn And the idea of the landscape expressing that violence in a very bold, graphic way was something I thought could be interesting.' It's all a machine, partner. The red and white landscape - originally it was something I came up with because in a PG-13 Star Wars movie, you can’t really show the violence of a battle. And that’s why we do these camera moves that are very wide-angle lenses and very clearly show you the layout of everything - so that when we get into the battle here, when the fighters come and you see, once again, our heroes don’t have a chance, it’s like hawks versus mice, we can just go nuts and get into the fun of the red and the white.

So this is all about geography, this big pan here, establishing very clearly the two lines of battle and establishing the door right there that’s the objective. And then you see that she takes some strength and goes into battle.

It’s a big, heroic moment, but you see she’s scared. It just feels like our brave heroes going into battle.

Bob Ducsay, our editor, cut together this little Star Wars-y montage, which I love so much. Even them falling apart, this little gag here, just feeling like, what are they doing? They’re in basically rolling lawnmowers going up against these massive tanks. And you just want to feel like this is David versus Goliath. Everything from the sound design to the way ILM animated them - you can just see everything is wobbling on these things, even having the open canopy so our heroes feel very exposed. And here, we wanted to make these craft that they’re in, these ski speeders, as rickety as possible.
