Fans of Star Wars have new details about The Mandalorian and Grogu, the highly anticipated spinoff movie. Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) will voice Rotta the Hutt, Jabba’s son, marking the character’s live-action debut. The plot reportedly revolves around a rescue mission, with Din Djarin and Grogu working to free Rotta from Embo, a Kyuzo bounty hunter from The Clone Wars.

Embo, voiced by Star Wars creator Dave Filoni in animation, is a fan-favorite character who appeared in eight episodes of the animated series. His transition to live-action follows a growing trend of The Clone Wars characters entering the Star Wars live-action universe, such as Cad Bane in The Book of Boba Fett.
Adding to the intrigue is Sigourney Weaver, who plays a significant but enigmatic role in the film. Meanwhile, Jonny Coyne returns as a member of the Shadow Council, ensuring the political machinations of The Mandalorian series remain central to the story.
These revelations offer the most detailed look yet at the movie’s direction. For fans of The Clone Wars, Embo’s live-action debut is a thrilling development, potentially hinting at more animated characters joining the fray. With White, Weaver, and Coyne on board, The Mandalorian and Grogu promises an exciting blend of action, nostalgia, and high-stakes drama. The film is scheduled to be released on May 22, 2026.
