The Mandalorian & Grogu Promo Image Gives Best Look Yet At Star Wars’ Newest Villain (And It’s Already Dividing Fans)

Empire Magazine has given fans the first good look at Rotta the Hutt, a new character voiced by White, in the upcoming season of The Mandalorian & Grogu. The promotional image reveals a striking departure from typical Hutts – this one is muscular, wields crescent-shaped knives, and appears prepared for a fight. Unlike the large, slow, and sedentary Hutts seen in most live-action Star Wars content, Rotta is portrayed as a powerful warrior. With a recent trailer already hinting at a large-scale arena battle between Rotta and Din Djarin, audiences are set to witness a Hutt at the peak of their physical condition for the very first time.

‘One Battle After Another’ Star Teyana Taylor Is “Begging” for a Sequel

Though Taylor had appeared in films since 2010, her role in One Battle After Another is seen as the performance that truly launched her career, establishing her as a major Hollywood star. In the film, she plays Perfidia, a radical activist who leads a group called French 75. Perfidia has a complicated past with Bob Ferguson (played by DiCaprio) and is the mother of Willa (Chase Infiniti). When Perfidia betrays them to avoid going to prison, the two are forced to live in hiding. Taylor won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar for her performance, so it’s no surprise she’s eager for director Anderson to make a sequel and revisit the character.
