One of the standout characters from the The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer was Rotta the Hutt, lad of Jabba the Hutt — contempt the information we lone got a azygous 2nd look astatine him. Rotta, past seen successful The Clone Wars arsenic Rotta the Huttlet, is present each grown up and, clearly, a large instrumentality of the gym.

The trailer shows Rotta the Hutt successful a benignant of gladiator arena, either hyping the assemblage up arsenic big oregon progressive successful a combat himself. Mando and Grogu are successful the audience, watching on.

Rotta the Hutt has deed the gym.

Rotta is voiced by Jeremy Allen White, who, portion chatting connected The Graham Norton Show to beforehand his caller movie, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, touched connected his relation successful The Mandalorian and Grogu.

In the trailer we spot Mando and Grogu scope retired an Imperial basal of immoderate sort. The diminutive Grogu infiltrates alongside the adjacent much diminutive Babu Frik, who made his debut successful The Rise of Skywalker. We past spot Mando and Grogu beryllium down for a chat with Sigourney Weaver’s quality (the ever bare Grogu uses the Force to effort to nab immoderate snacks, but Sigourney isn't having immoderate of it).

Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, meanwhile, is the musculus of the Ghost team, a Lasat grant defender who adopted the origin of the Rebellion against the Empire successful much-loved animated bid Star Wars Rebels. He made his live-action debut successful a little country successful The Mandalorian. Here we spot him bushed up stormtroopers, who fans volition retrieve helium nicknamed “bucket heads.”
