The galaxy is about to get a little crazier as we welcome back Rotta the Hutt, the lovable “Stinky” who has ditched his diapers for some serious muscle! This time, he’s not just rolling around; he’s swinging battle axes in the gladiatorial arena in the upcoming film, The Mandalorian and Grogu. As we dive deeper into this journey, one can’t help but wonder—how does the pressure of being Jabba’s son impact our little Hutt’s identity? Will our once adorable blob now embody a fierce warrior spirit? Jon Favreau sure knows how to keep the stakes high, hinting at Rotta’s quest for independence amidst his father’s infamous legacy. Can he forge his own path while overcoming that notorious family baggage? Well, mark your calendars because we’re just two months away from the answer, hitting theaters on May 22! To get the full scoop on Rotta and what’s brewing in that chaotic galaxy far, far away, LEARN MORE.
The last time we saw Rotta the Hutt, he was an adorable little baby nicknamed “Stinky” by Ahsoka Tano, but Jabba’s son has grown up and gotten absolutely ripped. The character is set to appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Empire has dropped an exclusive new image showcasing him wielding some massive battle axes in the gladiatorial arena.
The Mandalorian and Grogu director Jon Favreau teased that “[Rotta’s] in top form, fighting in the pits, a gladiator of sorts.” He added that Rotta is trying to get out of his father’s shadow. “When you’re trying to establish yourself and your name is famous, when you’re Jabba The Hutt’s kid, what does that do?” Favreau said. “How has that affected his trajectory? I get a kick out of that.“
Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) lends his voice to the character, and although we will hear him speak “a little bit of Huttese,” most of his performance will be in Basic.
The release of The Mandalorian and Grogu is just two months away, with the film set to hit theaters on May 22. However, it doesn’t feel like the movie is generating the excitement it should, especially as it will be the first new Star Wars movie in theaters in over six years.
A report last week mentioned that The Mandalorian and Grogu is “something of a question mark” for the studio. Additionally, given that the film is based on a streaming series, it “may not seem like a big-screen proposition for any but the most die-hard Baby Yoda lovers.“
This came on the heels of the film’s Super Bowl commercial, which felt like a real misfire. It leaned into a nostalgic, old-school Super Bowl commercial vibe, complete with narration by Sam Elliott and featured a pack of Tauntauns pulling Din Djarin and Grogu. This was the chance to introduce the film to one of the biggest audiences in the world, and it really should have been the proper trailer, which they ultimately released a week later.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that The Mandalorian and Grogu will be a fun time at the movies, but we also have Star Wars: Starfighter to look forward to next year.
