"Mandalorian and Grogu Update for Millennium Falcon Ride Unveiled at Star Wars Celebration"

May 26,25

Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to launch alongside the new movie. This update introduces an exciting twist where Engineers will have the unique responsibility of caring for Grogu. Additionally, guests will be able to explore the iconic planet of Coruscant, alongside familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, in a choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline.

Set to arrive on May 22, 2026, this update promises to take a "different path" from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but will still feature both Din Djarin and Grogu in new and engaging ways. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka learning of a deal between ex-Imperial officers and pirates on Tatooine, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down these fugitives and claim a bounty, embarking on a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, we know that Engineers will play a significantly larger role, taking care of Grogu, which adds an exciting new layer to the experience.

We had the opportunity to speak with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama, who shared more about what guests can expect. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama explained. "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. 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 noted, "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."
