"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 where Engineers will have the unique responsibility of caring for Grogu. Additionally, guests can explore the iconic planet Coruscant, alongside familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, in a choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline.

Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, when this exciting update will be available. While the update follows a different narrative path from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will still feature Din Djarin and Grogu in captivating new scenarios. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a lucrative deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down these criminals and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details remain under wraps, we know that Engineers will play a pivotal role, entrusted with the care of Grogu. Imagine the excitement of having such a beloved character under your wing!

We had the opportunity to discuss these developments with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama, who provided further insight into what guests can anticipate.

"Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama shared. "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."
