In the early stages of the Clone Wars, Jabba the Hutt’s son Rotta was secretly kidnapped by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in order to torpedo ongoing negotiations between the Jedi Order and the Republic. Obviously, this went horribly wrong for Count Dooku and the separatists, leading to an agreement being forged between the Republic and Jabba… But what happened to Rotta the Hutt After the Clone Wars and how might he play into the ongoing turf war Between Boba Fett and the Hutt twins?
With the Twins showing up alongside Black Krrsantan in the Book of Boba Fett Episode 2, it is possible that Rotta the Hutt or Stinky (Jabba’s son) will show up. What happened to Jabba’s son?

But regardless of that, this sent the planet Mandalore into complete and Utter Chaos, leading the Hutt families to abandon Maul and the shadow collective…

The Hutts were very much like the Mafia so in many cases family was even more important than money or power. Rotta had to be protected at all costs to continue the family’s legacy should anything happen to Jabba…
