New Details On Jabba The Hutt’s Son In Star Wars’ Mandalorian & Grogu Movie Revealed

The new movie, *The Mandalorian & Grogu*, will send Din Djarin and Grogu on a thrilling adventure to the most dangerous parts of the galaxy. They won’t be facing it alone! In addition to rumors that Katee Sackhoff will return as Bo-Katan Kryze, it’s confirmed that Rotta the Hutt – Jabba the Hutt’s son – will appear. Jeremy Allen White, an Emmy-winning actor, will voice the character, who was last seen as a child in *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*. Rotta is expected to have a significant role in the film, though exactly how big remains a mystery.

During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, actor Andy Serkis hinted at the role of Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt’s son, in the upcoming series. Serkis’s comments suggest the story will delve deeper into the galaxy’s criminal underworld than many fans expected, promising an exciting adventure following Jabba’s heir.

Will Rotta and Din Djarin Be Enemies or Allies?

During the interview, White accidentally revealed a key detail about Rotta’s role in the movie. He mentioned that Rotta and Din Djarin will be together for much of the film, suggesting Rotta won’t just have a quick appearance. This implies a major storyline where the Mandalorian and Grogu will either team up with or chase after the Hutt heir in a thrilling adventure across the galaxy.

Recent information suggests that Rotta will be a much more dynamic character than his father, Jabba the Hutt, who was known for being slow and inactive. Comments from producer Jon Favreau, along with quick shots from the show’s trailer showing Rotta in good physical shape and in a fighting arena, imply he’s an active individual. Favreau also mentioned Rotta is fast, a stark contrast to the typical image of a Hutt, which makes the upcoming confrontation between Rotta and Din Djarin even more intriguing.

The return of Rotta suggests a renewed focus on the galaxy’s criminal underworld. While much of the story so far has dealt with the aftermath of the Empire, *The Mandalorian & Grogu* seems ready to explore the power struggles that emerged after its fall—something George Lucas originally planned for the next set of films.

Taking over the criminal organization’s wealth and conflicts, Rotta would quickly become a powerful figure. If he’s teamed up with Mando, they could face the same dangers – possibly even from Rotta’s cousins, the Hutt twins seen in *The Book of Boba Fett*, who are also suspected of being involved. This unlikely group – the quiet bounty hunter, the playful Grogu, and the young Hutt leader – sets the stage for a thrilling and complicated story, showing that the galaxy, even after the Empire fell, is still largely controlled by criminals operating in secret.
