As a seasoned Star Wars aficionado who has navigated through the galaxy far, far away since its inception, I must admit that Rotta the Hutt‘s return in “The Mandalorian & Grogu” has piqued my interest. While he may not have been on everyone’s radar when it comes to potential characters making a comeback, his role in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” is etched firmly in my memory.
In the sci-fi series “Star Wars,” Rotta the Hutt, a character introduced in 2008, is set for a comeback in the upcoming movie titled “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” It’s been announced that Jeremy Allen White, famous for his role in “The Bear,” will lend his voice to Rotta in Jon Favreau’s production. Rotta might not have been one of the characters fans expected to see in “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” Even die-hard Star Wars enthusiasts may need a reminder about who he is and how he fits into the Star Wars narrative before the movie premieres in theaters in May 2026.
As a devoted Star Wars fan myself, I can’t help but reminisce about the memorable character, Rotta. Though he doesn’t make many appearances throughout the Star Wars universe, he shines brilliantly in one unforgettable project – the animated movie “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. In this masterpiece, viewers are introduced to the young and adorable Rotta.
Rotta is the Key to Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The central storyline of the Clone Wars movie centers around Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano’s quest to save Rotta, a character who has been abducted. Count Dooku masterminds this operation, collaborating with Ziro the Hutt, Jabba’s untrustworthy uncle, in an attempt to elevate his own status within the Hutt clan. Dooku intends to falsely accuse the Republic of Rotta’s kidnapping, a move that would enable the Separatists to forge an alliance with the Hutts, once Ziro assumes control from Jabba.
As a die-hard movie buff, I’d rephrase it like this: Absolutely, Anakin and Ahsoka manage to rescue little Rotta, affectionately known as “Stinky” by the Jedi. With Padmé’s help, they tip off Jabba about Dooku and Ziro’s plot, paving the way for an alliance between the Republic and Hutt during our ongoing war. Though Rotta is just a baby in the movie, he serves as a crucial plot device to advance the storyline. To amp up the tension, there’s a side story where Rotta falls sick; Ahsoka ensures he gets proper medical care on their way to Tatooine.
After the movie “Clone Wars,” Star Wars enthusiasts haven’t encountered much of Rotta, with the character appearing only in one episode of the “Clone Wars” TV series and issue 6 of “Hyperspace Stories.” With their appearance in “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” Rotta will have a substantial role in any Star Wars content since their debut.
What Could Rotta’s Role in Mandalorian & Grogu Be?
The post-Clone Wars activities of Rotta remain unknown, but fans can expect a transformed version of the character in “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” This series unfolds during the New Republic era, many years after the Clone Wars ended, implying that Rotta would have aged significantly. It’s possible he might be vying for control over some of his father’s former territories.
It’s yet unclear how much screen time the character Rotta will get in “The Mandalorian & Grogu”. The involvement of a well-known actor like Timothy Olyphant, who won an Emmy for his role in “The Bear”, suggests that White’s character could be an important secondary character. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that will be the case. Lupita Nyong’o had already won an Oscar when she was cast as Maz Kanata in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but her role was relatively small. Similarly, Rotta might only appear in a few scenes. Fingers crossed there’s enough screen time for him to reunite with Ahsoka, if Rosario Dawson is part of “The Mandalorian & Grogu”‘s cast.
