The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

[Reverend]

Maybe another set of "Tales of the X" episodes will come out around then as well. Maybe announce a new animated series to follow The Bad Batch. Maybe one set around the time of the Mandalorian. Like an animated take on Rangers of the New Republic.

Unlikely. So far 'Tales of . . . ' and 'Visions' have been alternating back and forth--mostly it seems because animation typically has a 2 year turn-around, and this is a handy way to have an annual release of one or the other--and next year is a 'Visions' year. If we're getting a third 'Tales' season at all, then it'll be '26 at the earliest.

Rotta was the baby Hutt in the Clone Wars movie, wasn't he?

Yes. Jabba's son.

 

[JD]

Thanks.

 

[Ithekro]

That is a relatively old callback. So about 35 or so years since Ahsoka delivered him back to Jabba. But also over five years since Jabba was killed by the Huttslayer Leia Organa.

Jabba was killed by the Huttslayer Leia Organa.

Hutts-Leia.

Very cool. Looking more forward to it by the minute.

I wonder if they're going to make him do all of his dialogue in Huttese or if Grotta will speak English? I know some of the Hutts spoke English in the animated series, but I as far as I can remember every Hutt we've seen in live action has only spoken Huttese.

 

[JD]

At least one of the Shadow Council members from Season 3 will be back for the movie.https://www.ign.com/articles/star-w...-pointing-to-further-ties-with-sequel-trilogy
Not to surprised, it did feel like their appearance in the show was setting up more appearances in the future.

I'd say Ziro and Mama pretty well established that Hutt can indeed speak basic. Indeed going back to RotJ (and ANH from '97 onwards), the subtext has always been that Hutts understand basic just fine, they just don't deign to speak it.

So yeah, if it's a substantial role (and not just one or two scenes and done like The Twins) they're probably going to have him speak his dialogue in English, or else why even bother hiring a character actor for the role?
I mean to this day I don't think the actors that voiced The Twins have even been credited, so they were probably from Skywalker Sounds' usual stable of actors . . . or it's just Accord & Witwer as usual.

 

[JD]

OK, I couldn't remember if they ever established any specific rules about Hutts speaking Basic.

 

[Set Harth]

Any chance this will get moved up? Or is it really going to take 2 years to finish it?

 

[The Wormhole]

Do you really think they'd set a 2026 date if there was a possibility of the movie being ready earlier?

 

[Set Harth]

It just seems like 2 years is a lot of time if shooting has wrapped.

Oh, there have been many cases of movies being completed years before they were released. Release schedules can be affected by a lot of factors beyond just when the movie is ready, like availability of release slots, the desire to avoid competition with certain other movies, or overall studio release strategy.

I hope he opens restaurant. Maybe something Italian.

Post-production, editing, and special effects, among others, say hi.

Probably had to recall all those aliens back for reshoots. Takes awhile to get here from a Galaxy far far away.
