Rotta the Hutt in STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS (2008) and THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU (2026)

Jon Favreau says unmasking Pedro Pascal in THE MANDALORIAN & A GROGU is “a tricky thing”

“It’s a tricky thing, because you want to see his face, but the archetype is that of the helmet. How do we find a way to do it without undermining everything that we developed about the Mandalorian Creed?”

Pedro Pascal says Din Djarin removing his helmet in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU makes “perfect sense.”

“When we got to that part, all I can say is that it made perfect sense, and it was what I was hoping would be the reason.”
