Fans finally got their first proper look at del Toro on the Last Jedi set in the latest sizzle reel shown at the D23 Disney Expo.
His mysterious “Man in Black” has been revealed as DJ – but very little else is known so far.
The recent Vanity Fair Star Wars special showed him in costume, wearing a very distinctive black ring.
Recent leaks also reported that Snoke wears a similar ring, leading many to wonder if they are both part of a shadowy secret organisation.
The leaks said that Snoke has a black ring on his right hand, thought to have a kyber crystal inside it. DJ’s ring is similarly set with a large black stone.
Fans have been meticulously deconstructing the two-minutes of footage screened at D23 last weekend. Every image and scene has been analysed and scrutinised for possible clues and revelations.
One eagle-eyed fan is convinced that one scene shows that Snoke is actually present on board DJ’s ship.

Tumbly user jediwhinetrick has isolated the shot of DJ and circled a mysterious hand. Yes, just a hand.
The post says: That’s Snoke in the second pic. Sh***y hand, gold sleeve.”
The little of the robes that are visible certainly tally with the descriptions of Snoke’s opulent and flashy costume but why the Force would he pop up on someone’s personal cruiser when he has perfectly good throne room of his own for meetings?
Unless he really is part of a secret organisation that he wants to keep hiden from Kylo Ren and the First Order?
Much as all the Star wars Last Jedi leaks and rumours are endlessly fascinating, it seems very unlikley that Snoke was hiden behind a camera man in this shot.
He is also supposed to huge, at least seven feet tall, so he would have been much more visible in the scene.
Since we know DJ will appear on the casino planet of Canto Bight, a pleasure playground for the galaxy’s wealthiest inhabitants , where he will meet Finn and Rose, it is much more likely the gold robes belong to someone wealthy from the planet – or even Finn or Rose in disguise.
Fans will just have to hope Snoke finally makes an appearance in the long-awaited main trailer.
