In the eagerly anticipated film, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," Jeremy Allen White lends his voice to Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt's enigmatic offspring. But beware, the moniker "Hutt" doesn't quite encapsulate the essence of this character. Far from being lazy or sluggish, Rotta the Hutt emerges as a rippling, gladiatorial figure—a stark contrast to his slothful father, Jabba.
At the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, attendees were treated to exclusive footage from "The Mandalorian & Grogu," showcasing Rotta the Hutt in all his muscular splendor. The character first made his debut as a tiny Huttling tot in the 2008 animated film, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." Since then, fans have been left wondering about Rotta's fate as he matured, with scant official Star Wars canon material shedding light on his growth.
Mystery no more! Eyewitnesses to the footage reveal that Rotta will be a brawny combatant in this Star Wars adventure, akin to an MMA fighter in a distant galaxy. Will Pedro Pascal's Mando be forced into a fierce confrontation with Rotta? And can you imagine the comedic delight of hearing Jeremy Allen White's voice emanate from this muscular creature? We'll all uncover the answers in a year's time, when "The Mandalorian & Grogu" storms theaters on May 22, 2026.
