Here is the story behind this:
STAR WARS Episode 9 to Feature Rose Tico as Slave to Rotta the Hutt
Insider sources tell Collider that Lucasfilm plans to reveal Jabba's son, Rotta The Hutt as the new underground clan leader. Leaked script drafts exclusive to Collider show a surprising reference to the past as Rose Tico is written to be enslaved by Rotta & will be adorned in attire inspired by the original Leia Slave outfit.
This re-write comes in the wake of Rose Tico supporters who rallied at the San Diego Comic-Con. Showing up in full costume to spread the love for [Kelly Marie] Tran’s character. The resulting media buzz showed enough support for the character to convince LucasFilm to expand her presence in the trilogy.
