He was positioned as the key MacGuffin of the movie, as Count Dooku tried to border the Jedi for kidnapping Jabba’s son, whereas additionally utilizing his Separatist connections to ally with Jabba’s traitorous uncle, Ziro, in bid to manage the Outer Rim underworld. Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and new padawan Ahsoka Tano managed to avoid wasting Rotta, foil Dooku’s plot, expose Ziro’s betrayal and win sufficient favor with Jabba to maintain the Republic’s hyperspace lanes open and operating within the area.
While Rotta has by no means been a serious character in Star Wars, the mission of saving him did develop into a pivotal milestone in Star Wars, beginning an extended historical past between the Skywalkers and Jabba, which in the end led to the brutal battles in Return of the Jedi‘s first act, which noticed Luke Skywalker, Leia and their Rebel mates save Han Solo from his years being imprisoned by Jabba, and at last kill the infamous crime lord in a ultimate battle over a Sarlacc Pit.
