Jeremy Allen White Joins THE MANDALORIAN Cast

Star Wars Welcomes Jeremy Allen White as Voice of Rotta the Hutt

The Star Wars universe just got a little more compelling. Jeremy Allen White, known for his captivating role in "The Bear," is entering the galaxy far, far away. His voice will soon bring to life a memorable character in the beloved Star Wars franchise. White is set to voice Rotta the Hutt in the much-anticipated film, "The Mandalorian & Grogu," produced by Jon Favreau.

A Familiar Character Makes a Return

For Star Wars fanatics, Rotta isn’t just any character. Known as Jabba the Hutt’s son, Rotta made his debut in the 2008 animated movie "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." His character brought a fresh dynamic to the series, leading to numerous fan theories about his storyline. In the movie, Rotta became the target of Count Dooku and the Separatists. They teamed up with Rotta’s manipulative uncle, Ziro the Hutt, in a bid to frame the Jedi for Rotta’s kidnapping.

With Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice Ahsoka Tano stepping in for the rescue, the movie blended action with suspense. However, the fate of Jabba’s offspring was left unresolved, leaving fans yearning for more. Now, the upcoming Star Wars film promises to revisit this mysterious character’s journey.

Contemplating Rotta’s Future

Set thirty years after the Clone Wars, "The Mandalorian & Grogu" could depict Rotta in a whole new light. Nicknamed "Stinky" in his early years by Tano, Rotta could have stepped out of his father’s shadow to carve his empire. But don’t expect the criminal scene to be quiet— especially with Boba Fett holding sway over Tatooine. This confluence of characters opens the door to intriguing possibilities.

Could Rotta challenge Boba Fett’s rule, igniting tensions that require Mandalorian intervention? The anticipation swirls among fans and critics alike. These burning questions might find answers when this exciting chapter of Star Wars lands in theaters on May 22, 2026.

While plots thickening in space are nothing new, White’s involvement adds an exciting edge. His portrayal of Rotta could breathe new life into the complex Hutt family saga. The countdown to 2026 has begun, and fans are ready to journey deeper into a galaxy they thought they knew well.
