The Latest Addition to the Cast of The Mandalorian and Grogu Movie All but Confirms the Fate of The Mandalorian Season 4
The latest addition to the cast of the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, Jeremy Allen White, as the voice of Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt’s son, has major implications for the story of the movie and potentially confirms the fate of The Mandalorian season 4.
In May 2022, Dave Filoni mentioned Rotta’s potential return, saying “Maybe he’ll make a comeback somehow. Who knows? He’s the original cute baby.” At the time, this was seen as a joke, but with the recent casting news, it seems that Filoni’s words might not have been a joke after all.
Additionally, Jon Favreau had started working on The Mandalorian season 4 in May 2022, around the same time as Filoni’s comment. This raises the possibility that Rotta might have been a part of season 4, which was later reworked into a movie.
The timeline of Filoni’s comment and Favreau’s work on The Mandalorian season 4 suggests that Rotta’s return might have been a part of season 4, which is now being adapted into a movie. This means that The Mandalorian season 4 might not happen, which is a blow to fans hoping for the season’s release.
While it’s possible that The Mandalorian season 4 could still be made in the future, the current information suggests that it has been adapted into a movie, with the story of The Mandalorian and Grogu taking center stage. The new movie will likely be a significant enough story to satisfy fans and make up for the loss of The Mandalorian season 4.
