While Del Toro playing Ezra was always a bit far bring , it is respectable to know with infrangible clarity that this is n’t one of the choice for his identity . Rebelsis enter its final seasons and will be in the midst of it whenThe Last Jedihits theaters . Making Del Toro Ezra would dramatically changed the mode audiences view Ezra in the closing episodes of the series . If Ezra is destined to join the ranks of resilient - action characters , it will be done without Del Toro ’s help it appears .
Book of Ezra may be out of the question now , but Johnson does state that DJ does stand for something specific ( other than Disk Jockey ) . What exactly it could be is certain to be a big point of speculation moving fore as fans look for every wind to his true individuality . However , with Johnson saying he is his own character , it may be best to not anticipate his true name being one that devotee will already acknowledge . That could very well be the reasoning behind the huge secrecy , which is clean standard forStar Warsat this point . Either way , whoever Del Toro is and whatever DJ stands for probably wo n’t be revealed before the movie arrive , so fans will more than likely have to wait until December to find out .
