Benicio Del Toro's DJ Getting Star Wars: The Last Jedi Prequel Comic

One of the more intriguing aspects of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is Benicio del Toro's character DJ. The actor is one of Hollywood's best, so seeing him in a Star Wars movie has gotten plenty of fans interested in his character. Anticipating the positive fan reaction the character might get, Marvel has announced a special comic featuring the character out in January.

Written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, the comic will delve into the character's path and why he is against our heroes in The Resistance. Previous reports have indicated that the character will be more of an anti-hero, but there still isn't much known about the character. So far the only new characters from The Last Jedi that have resonated with audiences are the Porgs.
