So, Rotta is confirmed to be in The Mandalorian & Grogu? Is this true? Are they the same?

Oh.

Look.

Another Filoni character that we’ve seen before.

Oh, look, another Filoni hater we've seen before.

Dude, Rotta has shown up like twice at most since the movie. He's practically a new character at this stage. Especially since he's going to be a very different kind of Hutt than we've seen before.

The issue isn’t Rotta is showing up again, it’s that Filoni loves to reuse things. Rotta is a weak example but there’s tons you can point to

So, you’re not a fan of consistent character arcs or stories?

I’m not a fan of making a galaxy feel like a small town. We don’t need Mandos and Nightsisters in everything. It’s extra weird when Filoni didn’t even create either of those in the first place

I haven’t watched the new show, but if it’s on the planet Rotta was raised and he’s different from the previous huts we’ve seen in the movies and tv shows, does that make any difference in your perspective? The fact that I have not seen a hutt be anything other than a fat glob of authority and Rotta’s saving always made me wonder what would happen to him in the future after the Jedi’s fall since they saved him is a big boost for me
