The Mandalorian and Grogu have added Emmy-nominated The Bear star, Jeremy Allen White with the role of Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta the Hutt, popularly known as "Stinky". This could be a significant addition to the movie.
The witty, snake-like crime boss Jabba doesn't have a human son, but the relatives of Jabba the Hutt have appeared throughout the Star Wars series (Book of Boba Fett) and movies like Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Rotta's character, which has not been heavily featured in the Star Wars series gives a new opportunity to the franchise to expand the storyline and showcase a fresh take on a familiar story.
The movie is hitting theatres on May 22, 2026. Here are complete details about the film and how crucial Jeremy's addition might be for the Star War Universe.
What The Mandalorian and Grogu is about?
The bounty hunter Mandalorian and his companion Grogu, also known as "baby Yoda" begin a new journey in the Star War Universe. Directed by Jon Favreau, this movie follows the events of the Mandalorian series where the New Republic struggles to bring peace and stability in the galaxy.
The film's aim is to intertwine the storylines of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka and The Book of Boba Fett and is set in the post-empire era.
It is centered around the relationship of the titular Mandalorian and his companion Grogu along with their allies as they encounter threats like Imperial remnants and others that exist in the galaxy.
How significant Jeremy Allen White's addition can be to the movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu?
Jeremy Allen White has been finalized to voice the son of Jabba Hutt, named Rotta The Hutt, potentially expanding the lore as the character is tied deeply into the underworld of the Star Wars galaxy.
His inclusion can be an indication that the showmakers might want to explore Hutt's side of the story better, therefore offering the viewers a fresh perspective on a familiar story in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The Mandalorian and Grogu aims to blend Jeremy's dramatic skills into the world of Star Wars. His performance can potentially add depth to the moral ambiguity of the character.

Additionally, Jeremy could bring an interesting twist to the character evolution since its appearance in The Clone Wars. Rotta in the movie is now older and in his 30s and the narrative may explore his ambitions after the death of his father and the fall of Jabba's empire.
Rotta might be seen claiming his birthright with Bobba Fett now in control of Tatooine.
