We just got our best look yet at Jeremy Allen White’s Mandalorian and Grogu villain Rotta the Hutt, and let me tell ya, he is one seriously jacked worm.
The new official image comes hot on the heels of a debunked fake image of Rotta. Check it out, courtesy of Empire:

In the Star Wars galaxy, Hutts and bounty hunters don’t always get along, and that’s also true in The Mandalorian and Grogu, where the eponymous pair encounter the surprisingly muscular Rotta, son of the most well-known Hutt of all, Jabba.
Unlike his father, whose decadence is as legendary as his ruthless reputation, scarfing down piles of live creatures and reveling in the entertainment of his personal dancers and executioners, Rotta is clearly a hardcore fighter, wielding double axes and sporting shredded abs that seem to stretch all the way down his tail.
Nonetheless, Jeremy Allen White says he’s drawing directly on Larry Ward’s original voice performance as Jabba the Hutt in 1983’s Return of the Jedi.
“There’s a little bit of Huttese,” White explains. “My speaking voice changes [as Rotta]. It was helpful, of course, to listen to Jabba.”
Rotta first appeared as a child in the Clone Wars animated movie in which Count Dooku kidnaps him as part of a complicated conspiracy to turn the Hutts and the Republic against each other – a plan that’s ultimately thwarted by the Jedi. As you can see, he’s grown from being just a li’l guy into an absolute unit. He also seems very willing to get his own hands dirty instead of just throwing his opponents into the Sarlacc mouth.
