History

DJ relaxing on the couch of a stolen ship

A gifted slicer, the man known only as DJ used his skills to steal from wealthy gamblers passing through Canto Bight. Profoundly cynical, he saw the First Order and the Resistance as halves of the same corrupt money machine. He wore his simple philosophy on a plate adorning his hat: DON’T JOIN. When he, Finn and Rose were caught infiltrating the First Order’s flagship, DJ cut a deal with their captors, earning a big payday for his betrayal.

  • The thief and slicer known as DJ lived in Canto Bight, making a thoroughly dishonest living stealing from well-heeled gamblers passing through the resort city. DJ – a nickname derived from his philosophy DON’T JOIN – stole from the First Order and the Resistance alike, seeing them as equally corrupt parts of an exploitative money machine.

  • DJ was in Canto Bight’s jail – which he claimed was the only place he could sleep without being pestered by cops – when Finn and Rose Tico were placed in his cell. Overhearing that they needed a codebreaker who could penetrate the First Order’s security, he offered his services. When Rose and Finn declined, DJ shrugged, effortlessly picked the lock of the cell and went on his way.

  • To his surprise, DJ discovered BB-8 had disarmed several guards and trussed them up. Impressed, DJ decided he might profit by helping Rose and Finn, and enlisted the astromech’s help stealing a ship.

  • DJ and BB-8 stole a sleek space yacht, the Libertine, and arrived in time to prevent Rose and Finn from being recaptured by the Canto Bight police. With no choice, Rose reluctantly agreed to hire the mangy thief to get them through the First Order’s flagship, which DJ called “Snoke’s boudoir.”

  • DJ made no secret of his mercenary intent, demanding Rose’s Otomok medallion – made of valuable Haysian smelt – as a deposit. When Finn objected, DJ showed the former stormtrooper that the Libertine’s owner was an arms dealer supplying both sides of the new galactic war – a perfect illustration of why DJ’s creed would always be DON’T JOIN.

  • DJ bypassed the First Order’s security, allowing him, Finn and Rose to infiltrate the Supremacy. Disguised in First Order uniforms, they made their way through the ship’s corridors, determined to shut down the hyperspace tracker.

  • DJ used Rose’s medallion to bypass the security controls – Haysian smelt, he explained, was an ideal conductor. He then flipped the medallion back to a startled Rose. Moments later, the group was captured by stormtroopers. Their mission had failed.

  • DJ saw a chance to cut a deal, earning his freedom and a payday. His bargaining chip: he’d overhead Poe Dameron telling Finn and Rose that the Resistance planned to evacuate aboard small, hard-to-detect transports. Finn accused him of being a murderer, but DJ coolly told him his betrayal was just business: “they blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow.”

    A skittish but loyal astromech, BB-8 accompanied Poe Dameron on many missions for the Resistance, helping to keep his X-wing in working order. When Poe’s mission to Jakku ended with his capture by the First Order, BB-8 fled into the desert with a vital clue to the location of Luke Skywalker. He rejoined Poe in time for the attack on Starkiller Base, then helped Rey locate Skywalker’s planet of exile. As the Resistance rebuilt its forces after the Battle of Crait, BB-8 helped both Poe and Rey.

In addition to being a warship with enormous firepower, it serves Supreme Leader Snoke as throne room and the First Order as mobile capital. Its vast interior houses army training grounds, shipyards, production lines and R&D labs. The mighty ship was torn in two before the Battle of Crait, ripped apart when Vice Admiral Holdo sent the Raddus into hyperspace along a path that passed through the larger craft.
