Overview
- Jeremy Allen White said his Rotta role grew during production, returning for additional recording a year after his initial session as Jon Favreau handles the Hutt voice in post-production.
- Trailers show Din Djarin and Grogu separated in several sequences while Rotta appears alongside Mando, including in a prominently teased gladiator-style scene.
- Coverage highlights vigorous fan debate over whether Rotta’s presence reduces or reorients Grogu’s role rather than simply adding another companion.
- Lucasfilm has disclosed only broad plot elements such as Imperial remnants and large-scale battles, keeping character motives and full arcs under wraps.
- The Mandalorian & Grogu is slated to open exclusively in theaters, including IMAX, on May 22, 2026, with Jon Favreau directing and Pedro Pascal returning as Din Djarin.
