Well, I haven't put much thought into it, but I believe Salazar and Jack would only meet once prior to DMTNT. Not that I don't want to see more, it's just I don't want the focus to be something other than the Trident quest. But that doesn't exclude that they met more than once onscreen via flashback (i.e. Devil's Triangle), while the rest Salazar only mentions what Jack does to him (i.e. Jack's impersonation). I'm sure we'll see either case happen.

That's a good idea on why Salazar needs a walking stick. Or maybe it's a "theatrically and deception" of sorts in which he tricks his victims into thinking he won't do anything until he himself attacks, somewhat like Yoda from Star Wars (but different because he was centuries old). In my opinion, they could simply be using concepts they never used in the previous films, as you can see with the Davy Jones concept&mdash;true, the look is exact, but Jones never used a stick.
