Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi : Del Toro, Ezra, Rey's father nonsense

Here's an article delineating the theory:

Ever since it was announced that Del Toro had signed on for a role in the follow-up to The Force Awakens, fans have speculated about who he might be playing, but the only thing thats been confirmed about his mysterious character thus far is that hes an intergalactic villain. However, this theory proposes that he was a hero in his younger days, and one thatll be very familiar to fans of Disney XDs Star Wars Rebels animated series.

Here are Hodors thoughts in full:


Simply put, I think Benicio Del Toro is going to be Reys father. But thats not to say Del Toro will be playing a new character. I think hes playing an adult Ezra Bridger (from the Rebels TV show). Hed be about the right age, and there have been theories that Rebels will end with Ezra (and Kanan if hes still alive) joining Lukes new Jedi Academy. But then why was she left on Jakku?

The theory Ive come up with is that Ezra fall to the dark side. He joins forces with Snoke and together they start manipulating the Jedi starting with Ben Solo. Foreseeing this, Luke hides Rey from her father, and in retaliation Ezra, through or with Kylo Ren, destroy the Jedi Academy. Luke flees and Del Toro is left without knowing where his daughter is hidden.

right with you so far

HUH? How the hell one thing propose the other? What a leap in logic! Let me rephrase, what a LACK of logic. The one thing doesn't connect to the other at all!

But lets say we go with it

Again, one thing that has nothing to do with the other! What is he making these guesses from? Its just wishful thinking. That's all. No basis in fact.

If you watch rebels, it's clear that Ezra is heading down a dark path.

Daddy Del Toro? He better have some kick ass lines and icy glares he gets to give. Was really hoping he'd play a young Snoke or the guy who helps Kylo complete his training.

It's silly because they say that Del Toro is the exact age now as Ezra would be. Which he isn't at all. Ezra was actually a weeks or months older then both Luke and Leia being born as soon as the Empire was created.

Which means Luke and Leia would be both now in their late fifties or early sixties. Meaning Ezra if he was still alive being around that age to. Del Toro is only 49 in real life to.

Ezra would be 19 years old leading up to Episode IV. There are 4 years between Episode IV and Episode VI. And then another 30 years until Episode VII. This makes Ezra, Luke and Leia, 53 years old.

They do say Episode VII takes place approximately 30 years later, so you could add maybe another 1 or 2 years onto their ages.

But yea del Toro could play Ezra. He looks older than 49, in my opinion.


"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

They are all actually 20 in ANH. And it's a 3 year gap not 4 between Ep IV and V. Think that ROTJ is only a year or a few months after ESB. But yeah they would all be either 53 or 54 in TFA. And as much as I like to agree with you I don't think he will play Bridger if Bridger was still alive where the *beep* was he when the OT happend? I don't think him Kanan and Sabine won't live to even Rogue One.
