"Mandalorian and Grogu Update Enhances Millennium Falcon Ride - Star Wars Celebration"

Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details about the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to launch alongside the new movie. This update promises an immersive experience, allowing Engineers to take care of Grogu while introducing Coruscant as a new planet to explore alongside Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. This choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline will offer fans a dynamic and engaging journey through the Star Wars universe.

Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update will diverge from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but will still feature Din Djarin and Grogu in exciting new ways. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a deal on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and pirates, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty, making for a thrilling, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, we know that Engineers will play a more significant role, tasked with caring for Grogu. This adds a unique layer of interaction and responsibility to the experience.

To delve deeper into what fans can expect, we spoke with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama. He shared insights into the new mission, stating, "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu. So, we think it's going to be a ton of fun. There may be times when Mando has to deboard the Razor Crest and Grogu, left to his own devices, might get a little happy on the control panel. So, we love the idea of there being these fun little vignettes and moments where you're sort of on the comm with Grogu."

Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained, "There will be a critical moment in your adventure where you are strapped for time and have to make a lightning quick decision about which of our particular bounties we want to pursue. And that's going to be the sort of inciting incident that allows us to decide which are the different destinations we go to."
