If so, I would think that if Ezra was still alive, he be portrayed by an actor closer in age to Mark Hammil (65) than Del Toro (50).

According to Wookiepedia, Ezra is two days older than Luke Skywalker.

Thanks for the confirmation.

So on the surface, it doesn't look like Del Toro's age lines up with Ezra's but considering it's the Star Wars universe, anything can be explained away.

But at this point, I'll Rian at face value until proven otherwise.

This is somewhat interesting. Also, see the tall weapon that's in Rey's packaging? Again, I think it's her that Kylo is fighting in the earlier pics.

That's the same staff she had in TFA.

Other people can have staffs, dude.

It makes no sense to have Driver choreographing with someone other than Rey if they fight.

Also, his lightsaber would make quick work of her staff. So I'm guessing that's some other character wielding something ala General Grievous' droids in Episode 3. And there are two of them wielding the same thing.

Who else would Kylo Ren be fighting? He's not fighting First Order troopers.

Completely false.

Well, reportedly, there's a fight between Rey and Kylo Ren while Luke is dispatching the Knights of Ren (there's video evidence as well). Kylo pushes her off a cliff, then when he realizes Luke is coming for him, he escapes.

He may have already dispatched of her lightsaber, with the only remaining item in which to defend herself is the staff.

Like I said, maybe he spars with the Praetorian guards, or they could be Resistance soldiers.

Still doesn't make sense. Who's the other dude with a staff?

I don't think she fights him with her staff. It would be useless.

Films aren't shot in sequence. Adam Driver could be training separately from Daisy Ridley for many reasons.

Again, based on spoilers, it could be her last resort before falling over a cliff.

Or not.

Nope, Dane. I'm sorry. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks for playing. You don't know anything about Star Wars or movies or any of it. "Hammock" is clearly the expert here. Please stop trying to argue. You're out of your depth.
