Thanks to rumors, the villain of Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu may have leaked.
Who is the villain?
As per the Kristian Harloff YouTube video, it’s revealed that the antagonist in “The Mandalorian & Grogu” goes by the name of Embo.
Who is Embo?
The official StarWars.com databank describes Embo as the following:
Embo, a taciturn bounty hunter known for his swiftness, could easily subdue his quarry. Whether it was a precise arrow from his bowcaster or a powerful throw of his distinctive pan-shaped hat that struck with lethal precision, Embo proved formidable. In addition to being a deadly weapon, the hat served as a shield when Embo charged head-on, much like Kyuzo’s style. Unattached to any particular group, Embo collaborated with hunters such as Sugi and Boba Fett, maintaining allegiance only to his trusted anooba, Marrok.
Initially, this character was introduced in Dave Filoni’s animated series “Clone Wars” during the “Bounty Hunters” episode that aired in 2010. This episode centers around four bounty hunters who crossed paths with Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan. However, instead of engaging in conflict, their encounter was defused by a wise village elder.
What are The Mandalorian & Grogu details for Embo?
In simpler terms, the YouTube content creator mentioned that Dave Filoni will lend his voice to the character Embo again in “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” and suggested that Embo plays a significant role, almost like the main antagonist, within the narrative.
It’s been reported that Embo and Mando are both pursuing Rotta, the young Hutt who is Jabba the Hutt’s son. According to rumors, Embo aims to eliminate him, whereas Mando intends to save him. Previously, it was revealed that Jeremy Allen White will provide the voice for Rotta the Hutt.
How it might connect
It’s plausible that Rotta the Hutt is being pursued due to the ongoing power struggle on Tatooine, a struggle that emerged following the death of Jabba the Hutt in “Return of the Jedi”. In “The Book of Boba Fett”, we learned about this power vacuum on Tatooine. Two of Jabba’s cousins attempted to seize control, but they were eventually defeated by Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. As a result, Boba Fett rose to power, assuming the role of crime lord on Tatooine that was once held by Jabba.
In the animated series “Clone Wars”, it’s where little Rota, heir to the Hutt empire, made his debut. However, at that time, he was just an infant. Despite his tender age, his great-uncle Ziro, who was power-hungry, plotted to have him killed. Ziro orchestrated a kidnapping of Rota as part of a complex plan to sully the reputation of the Jedi Knights and prevent them from forming an alliance with the Hutts.
It appears that Embo was hired by someone to assassinate Rotta the Hutt, but for unknown reasons, Mando was also employed to save Embo. With Temuera Morrison not featured in The Mandalorian & Grogu, it’s unclear how these events tie into The Book of Boba Fett. The connections between the two stories will become clearer as more information is revealed.
The Mandalorian & Grogu gets released May 22, 2026.
