DJ

Description

No side but his own

Most Star Wars characters end up choosing a side. DJ, played by Benicio del Toro in The Last Jedi, refuses. Finn and Rose meet him in a cell on Canto Bight after their search for a different codebreaker goes wrong. He gets them aboard the First Order flagship, then sells them out to save himself and collect a reward. His shrugging view that good and evil are just business makes him one of the more interesting minor characters of the sequel trilogy.

Size and build

At 22 pieces, this is a small set that takes only a few minutes to build. Thirteen distinct elements means most parts appear just once, so there is still some variety to the steps. The catalogue records one minifigure. It is best thought of as a small add-on to larger Last Jedi sets or a pocket-sized treat, rather than a display model in its own right. Younger builders should be able to manage it without help.

Grey, black and red

Light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, red and black are the main colours. The two greys form the base, black adds contrast, and red is the only bold colour in the mix. No transparent colours appear among the main shades. It is a very practical palette: once the set is taken apart, nearly every piece can go straight into general storage and be reused in ships, vehicles or buildings without looking out of place.

Using this page

The parts list shows all 13 elements with colour and quantity, so you can check a loose copy or replace anything that has gone missing. If you keep your collection in Bricoria, What can I build? will show you which other sets you could build right now. Small sets from the same year often share basic grey and black parts, so it is worth checking whether a few more models are already hiding in your boxes.
