Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro is usually the most interesting part of whatever movie he's a part of - just look at his bonkers Collector character in Guardians Of The Galaxy - and the same goes for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
His stuttering master-hacker arrives out of nowhere on the Monte Carlo-esque casino planet, and the character of DJ plays a major part in how the remainder of the plot plays out for several of the major characters.
