The Bear star's role in The Mandalorian and Grogu gets absurd new details at Star Wars Celebration 2025, and fans aren't sure what to make of it

Jeremy Allen White in The Bear.

Jeremy Allen White, star of The Bear and Iron Claw, is coming to a galaxy far, far away, in new Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. We've known he'll be playing Rotta the Hutt for some time, and courtesy of Star Wars Celebration, we know he'll be portraying Jabba's son as a bulked up gladiatorial fighter, and the internet isn't sure what to make of this particular reveal.

Per the panel for The Mandalorian and Grogu at Celebration, we've learned Allen is portraying Rotta as something of a prize fighter, and distinctly more muscular than his father. How big his role will be in the upcoming movie remains to be seen, but we'll be seeing another side of the Hutt lineage in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
