Shocking Mandalorian Rumor: Rotta the Hutt Becomes a Gladiator!

Summary

  • Rotta the Hutt is rumored to be a gladiator in The Mandalorian and Grogu, with facial scars.
  • Embo the bounty hunter may be the main villain in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
  • Fans are concerned that The Mandalorian and Grogu plot may be too similar to The Clone Wars film.

I recently came across a buzzing speculation about “The Mandalorian” and Grogu’s upcoming storyline. This rumor hints at shedding light on where Jeremy Allen White’s Rotta the Hutt character has been since his appearance in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

In the past few weeks, details about the storyline of The Mandalorian and Grogu have been trickling out since production wrapped up. Back in December, it was revealed that Allen White had joined the cast as Rotta the Hutt, a character who made his debut as an infant in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie. Now, it seems that the grown-up (or so it’s rumored) Rotta the Hutt will play a significant part in the plot of The Mandalorian and Grogu, with recent gossip suggesting that he has an unexpected profession.

Does Rotta the Hutt Have a Job in The Mandalorian and Grogu?

The news outlet Bespin Bulletin announces that Rotta the Hutt will appear as a gladiator in the series ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’. Previously, this online publication stated that Rotta the Hutt is muscular in ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’, and this new detail could account for why filmmakers chose this design, as the Hutts are typically portrayed as large and not particularly fit. As per Bespin Bulletin, Rotta the Hutt will have facial scars from combat and is said to carry a weapon that may be a vibroblade or vibrosword.

According to a subsequent report by Bespin Bulletin, they stand by their initial statement that Kristian Harloff’s assertion is correct: Embo, the bounty hunter, may indeed be the primary antagonist for The Mandalorian and Grogu. Earlier reports from this online publication suggested a conflicting narrative regarding who hired Embo to be captured by Din Djarin and Grogu; however, they received differing information about who had initially hired them to take out Rotta. Sources have now hinted at the New Republic as one of the possible employers for Din Djarin and Grogu, a claim that Bespin Bulletin has heard again recently, leading them to believe this is plausible.

It’s unclear whether Sigourney Weaver’s character in “The Mandalorian and Grogu” (supposedly a New Republic colonel named Bishop) will employ Din Djarin and Grogu, but Bespin Bulletin hints at it as a possibility. Regardless of who is doing the hiring, it appears that the quest to find Rotta the Hutt is the primary focus of “The Mandalorian and Grogu”, which hasn’t exactly excited fans. This storyline bears a striking resemblance to the plot of the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated feature film, where baby Rotta the Hutt was abducted as part of a scheme masterminded by Count Dooku and Jabba the Hutt’s aunt Zira to instigate conflict between the Republic and the Hutts.

If the rumors about the Star Wars plots are accurate, some fans who think Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni shares responsibility for the current struggles of Star Wars might see these leaks as validation of their belief. Some argue that the Star Wars shows on Disney Plus have overemphasized Filoni’s past work, The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. While the first season and a large part of the second season of The Mandalorian were mostly standalone stories, it has been introducing characters and revisiting storylines from Filoni’s previous Star Wars projects more frequently. These fans feel that The Mandalorian was stronger when it focused more on being a standalone western-style series. Now, most Star Wars shows seem to be connected to the Filoni era, leaving those seeking original stories feeling disappointed at the prospect of The Mandalorian and Grogu rehashing old plots.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 22, 2026.
