\u201cDo you know how hard it is to be your own man when your dad is Jabba the Hutt, and you have human arms growing out of your alien armpits?\u201d \u2013 Rotta the Hutt<\/p>\n
While I mostly liked Star Wars: The Mandalorian<\/em> and Grogu,<\/em> the film wasn\u2019t a big financial hit for Lucasfilm. But Disney\u2019s merchandising team can\u2019t predict the future and must start designing and creating toys, clothing, and other merch months and months before a movie is in theaters and without knowing how fans will react to different characters. And after Disney missed out on a ton of money by not making any Baby Yoda merch in advance of the character\u2019s debut in order to keep his existence a surprise, it will likely never let that happen again for any potential future breakout Star Wars<\/em> characters.<\/p>\n And so that\u2019s how we ended up with this wild-looking Rotta the Hutt inflatable Halloween costume that is available to order from Spirit right now for the low, low price of $75. That\u2019s cheaper than Grand Theft Auto 6!<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a9Spirit \/ Lucasfilm \/ Kotaku <\/p>\n I have so many questions about this Rotta outfit. Why did the designers give the suit legs textured like Rotta\u2019s skin? It seems like Rotta has tiny legs, which I don\u2019t remember from the movie. Let me rewatch it. (Rewatches Mando and Grogu)<\/em> Nope. No legs. I guess I could have just watched a trailer and saved some time\u2026<\/p>\n Another question: The hands sticking out of the armpits. Sorry, that wasn\u2019t a question. Let me reword that. Ahem. Why? Why would you do this? Who looked at that and went, \u201cYup, nailed it!\u201d If anything, Rotta\u2019s costume should come with gloves that are textured like his skin. That would sort of hide them. Or maybe some skin flaps above the hand holds that hide your hands when not using them.<\/p>\n \u00a9Lucasfilm \/ Kotaku <\/p>\n One more question: Who wrote the text description for this costume, and why did they suggest that someone would call Rotta their \u201cfavorite character from The Mandalorian<\/em>?\u201d Maybe some weird Star Wars<\/em> sickos like me love him for being so strange, but how many teens or kids are jumping to dress up as Rotta the Hutt this Halloween season? Also, he\u2019s from The<\/em> Mandalorian and Grogu.<\/strong><\/em> Come on, Spirit Halloween, I expect\u2026well, actually, this is about the quality I expect. Carry on.<\/p>\n My one big regret in life is that this outfit came out after Burger King stopped selling the Mando<\/em>-themed Bounty Hunter meal. I wish I could have worn this costume, wiggled my way into my local Burger King, and ordered that meal. Alas, dreams made real are dreams no more, but memories of better times.<\/p>\n Anyway, uh, I\u2019ve run out of questions about this costume and don\u2019t have a third image to share, so I guess I\u2019ll just end the blog here\u2026Seems like a fine spot. Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cDo you know how hard it is to be your own man when your dad is Jabba the Hutt, and you have human arms growing out of your alien armpits?\u201d \u2013 Rotta the Hutt While I mostly liked Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the film wasn\u2019t a big financial hit for Lucasfilm.
