Jabba the Hutt’s buff son Rotta is Star Wars’ strangest father-son story yet

As a franchise, Star Wars has been around long enough that what makes a Star Wars project is malleable — the complex themes of Andor can theoretically exist within the same galaxy as the goofy antics of Jar Jar Binks. But there are certain ideas that flow throughout Star Wars like the Force, chief among them the complicated relationship between fathers (or father figures) and sons. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Anakin Skywalker and Sheev Palpatine. Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn. Kylo Ren and Han Solo.
