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

Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update coming to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, coinciding with the release of the new movie. This exciting update will introduce a unique feature where Engineers will have the responsibility of caring for Grogu. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to explore the iconic planet of Coruscant, alongside other familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, in this engaging choose-your-own-adventure storyline.

Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, as this new update to Smuggler's Run promises a fresh narrative that diverges from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but still prominently features Din Djarin and Grogu. In this captivating new story, Hondo Ohnaka discovers a clandestine deal on Tatooine involving former Imperial officers and pirates. This revelation sets off an exhilarating chase across the galaxy, where guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue the culprits and secure a lucrative bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be disclosed, it's clear that Engineers will play a pivotal role this time, as they will be tasked with looking after Grogu—a delightful addition to the experience!

To delve deeper into what fans can expect, we had the pleasure of speaking with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama, who provided further insights into the upcoming mission.

"Throughout the mission, we're going to give the engineers the opportunity to actually communicate with Grogu," Kalama shared. "It's going to be a ton of fun. There may be moments when Mando has to leave the Razor Crest, and Grogu, left to his own devices, might get a bit playful with the control panel. We're excited about these fun vignettes and moments where you're interacting with Grogu over the comm."

Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained, "There will be a critical moment in your adventure where you're under time pressure and must make a quick decision about which bounty to pursue. This decision will be the catalyst that determines the different destinations you'll visit."
