White joins the cast already formed by Pedro Pascal, who plays Mando, and the already confirmed Sigourney Weaver.
The movie of Star Wars The Mandalorian & Grogu add to the star The Bear Jeremy Allen White in the role of Jabba the Hutt’s son, Rotta the Hutt, as confirmed by the Deadline portal.
Jabba, the fat, snake-like intergalactic crime boss, has no human children, and if he does, it’s for the first time. It can be assumed that White will voice this creature. Jabba the Hutt’s relatives have appeared in the Star Wars series (The Boba Fett book) and in films like Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
