Jeremy Allen White Cast as Rotta the Hutt in Upcoming Star Wars Film
The Mandalorian & Grogu will bring the son of Jabba the Hutt back to the Star Wars universe, voiced by The Bear star Jeremy Allen White.
- Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in The Bear, will voice Rotta the Hutt in The Mandalorian & Grogu, set to release in May 2026.
- Rotta, nicknamed 'Stinky,' was introduced in the 2008 animated Clone Wars movie but has not appeared in Star Wars media since.
- The film will explore Rotta as a more mature character, potentially addressing his role in the Hutt legacy following Jabba's death.
- The timeline places the movie after Return of the Jedi, during the New Republic era, and possibly connects to unresolved threads from The Book of Boba Fett.
- This marks a rare crossover of film and TV characters in Star Wars, continuing Disney's integration of its streaming and theatrical universes.
