Jeremy Allen White Cast as Jabba the Hutt's Son in 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu'

This news confirms that ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ will be the first time Rotta has been seen on screen since 2008’s animated ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ movie. Rotta’s fate and canon whereabouts have long been speculated, but this casting report would suggest that the fans will have their questions answered nearly twenty years after the character’s last on-screen appearance and debut. Despite wildly conflicting in-canon reports on Rotta, the most recent information would suggest Rotta would be approximately 43 years old at the time of the film – for reference, Jabba is reported to have been approximately 600-years-old at the time of his death in ‘Return of the Jedi’.
