Summary

This week on Children of the Watch, we're taking a short break from our Mandalorian rewatch to talk about some juicy Star Wars book news, remember the incredible career of Drew Struzan, discuss where we think the MandoVerse is headed in broad strokes, and take some Patron questions! Plus some news about Jeremy Allen White's Rotta the Hutt.

Is there enough hype around The Mandalorian & Grogu? Could we see connections between the Nightsisters and Abeloth in Ahsoka? Are the rumors surrounding the bounty hunter Embo's involvement in the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu more credible than they seemed? All of this and so much more!

Next week, we resume our Mandalorian Rewatch and begin Season 2.

Oh, Jeremy Allen White's been yapping.

0:19.2

Doing some gum flapping, as it were. Making an appearance on Good

0:24.5

Morning America starting to make the press rounds. Yeah. So he's promoting a different movie

0:30.8

where he plays Bruce Springsteen. Yeah. And they asked him about his role in the Mandelein and Grogu. And yes, we all knew that he was

0:40.4

going to be in it. But I don't think we ever got official confirmation of like he is for sure

0:45.3

Roda the Hut. That's the way he pronounces it by the way, not Rhodo. Like I've been pronouncing it.

0:51.4

Roda the Hut, who is Jabba the Hut's son. And I want to read a quote from him. And then we'll talk about it and we'll just kind of dive into it. He said, it was exciting, you know, it's funny. I met John Favro, who directed the film in the series prior. And I've been such a huge fan of Johns for a very long time. So we talked about movies and I asked about Swingers and he said,

1:12.4

would you like to come in and maybe talk to me about doing a voiceover for Star Wars? I said,

1:17.0

I love Star Wars. I'd be happy to. And then in the moment almost, I discovered the weight

1:22.7

of the character I was voicing and quite literally probably like this guy like he is a

1:28.9

enormous he has mass yeah I mean Rada is supposed to be jacked I mean the the

1:35.5

the traps and lats we saw on them from the trailer you know it's it's no joke

1:39.7

but I think I think he was probably more referring to, uh, the role in the narrative that the character plays. Um, which, you know, that's, that's interesting. Uh, of course, every actor wants to think that their character makes or breaks the, the plot and is pivotal and important and everything like that. So, you know, take it with a grain of salt. But, um, that seems to indicate that it's at least not like a cameo. It's not like he came in for 20 minutes laid down a few lines and was out of there. It seems to be like maybe more of a, uh, you know, a actual part of the like integral part of the cast and stuff more so than maybe we initially

2:19.9

thought but we are just reading into what he said on a talk show so well i do think that it

2:26.1

confirms that like yeah he probably is very central to the plot like the room like the very first rumor

2:32.1

we got about the mandolary and grogoo in terms of plot was that it's actually a very similar plot to the very first Clone Wars movie where Rada is captured by Count Duku and Anakin and Osoka have to like save him and all that stuff.

2:46.7

Like it's very similar.

2:48.9

But then also with that rumor was that

2:52.4

Embo was going to be the main antagonist of the film.

2:55.6

I think this probably confirms that imbo rumor as well.

2:59.1

Like, okay, so yeah, that's Rod of the Hut.

3:01.2

He probably has a big role in this movie.
