According to some recent Barside Buzz, Rotta the Hutt is a gladiator in The Mandalorian and Grogu and a bounty is on his head. This is not the first time we have heard a rumor of this sort. Not long after Jeremy Allen White was announced as playing Rotta, Bespin Bulletin shared some details. Specifically they said they heard he was buff compared to other Hutts. Now the outlet is sharing more of what they have heard regarding Rotta and his relevance to the plot of The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Warning, Potential SPOILERS Below!
‘When the news broke of White’s casting, I shared that Rotta was kind of buff in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Many found this tidbit to be odd, funny and confusing. However, there’s a reason Rotta is a buff boy and that’s because of what his job is. I’m told Rotta the Hutt is a gladiator in The Mandalorian and Grogu.’
‘Given his profession, the buff body of Rotta makes more sense and in addition, he has some scarring on his face, likely from the battles he’s been in. Like many other gladiators, Rotta has a weapon and I believe that weapon is a vibroblade/vibrosword. Rotta is a far cry from little Stinky these days.’

‘I mentioned it in my article covering the story that Embo is a villain in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Embo is hired by the two Hutts from The Book of Boba Fett to take out Rotta, but I heard mixed things on who hires Din Djarin to capture Rotta. I wrote that I’d heard it was the New Republic and have heard that again recently from another source. So that’s what I believe happens. Don’t know if it’s Sigourney Weaver’s Colonel Bishop that hires Din Djarin or not, but that definitely seems like a possibility.’
Interesting, though I’m not sure if I would also say exciting and intriguing. I’m not sure I’d have picked this plot line for a movie. Mando and Grogu needs to save a buff Hutt from a Z-list Bounty Hunter? Still, who knows?
So, Rotta the Hutt is a gladiator in The Mandalorian and Grogu and a bounty is on his head. What do you think of this rumor? Thoughts below.
