So Jack could have encountered Salazar twice? Interesting, but it seems a little far out there. It's like how I feel about Will/Henry storyline: it doesn't need to be the focus of the movie, the quest for the Trident is enough. In addition, although I like your theory of Salazar chasing the Pearl (hence Barbossa's reaction to Salazar), how can that one ship be the Black Pearl if it's not black at that moment. And while Salazar may need a walking stick, but I doubt he needs it to run his men across the sea...plus, reality speaking, ghosts don't have legs to break. lol All that said, I do like the idea to tie in that Salazar is (maybe) the Spanish officer Jack impersonated and think it is very possible, given that an interview with Rønning and Sandberg revealed DMTNT is inspired by CotBP. Ergo, they will have stuff you'll recognize from past films, perhaps to those who love the first film.

As for the Beckett problem, Gibbs is dressed in his standard pirate garb, so maybe the game was actually set seven years before Barbossa's raid on Port Royal.
