Rotta and the Hutt Cartel would make for a pretty interesting callback to both Clone Wars and Return of the Jedi, but J.J. Abrams could also be messing with Star Wars fanatics and planting fake information.
Now that Star Wars 9 is gearing to start production this summer, rumors have started to spread all over the Star Wars universe.
While unlikely, it is still possible that J.J. Abrams could bring Rotta and the Hutt Cartel into the story of Star Wars 9 in some capacity.
Rotta is from Clone Wars, nicknamed “Stinky” by Ahsoka and later kidnapped by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
