Disney has cast a Mandalorian and Grogu villain, which points to further ties with the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy and infamous return of Emperor Palpatine. As reported by Deadline, Jonny Coyne will reprise his role from The Mandalorian Season 3, where he played a villainous Shadow Council member only known as Imperial Warlord.

The Bear star Jeremy Allen White is joining the Star Wars universe in the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie as a deep-cut character introduced in the Clone Wars film. First reported by Jeff Sneider on The Kristian Harloff show, then confirmed by Variety, White will voice Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta.

White will play Jabba the Hutt’s son, Rotta the Hutt, in the upcoming Jon Favreau-directed film, The Mandalorian & Grogu. We know very little about that movie other than it’s very obviously about the stars of the Disney+ show The Mandalorian. It’s also one of the few announced Star Wars films that hasn’t been cancelled or brushed to the side.
