"Mandalorian and Grogu Update for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Revealed at 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 coincide with the release of the new movie. This exciting update, arriving on May 22, 2026, promises a choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline where guests can visit iconic planets such as Tatooine, Bespin, Endor, and the newly added Coruscant. In a unique twist, Engineers will take on the responsibility of caring for Grogu, adding a fresh layer of interaction to the experience.

While the update follows a distinct narrative path separate from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will still feature both Din Djarin and Grogu prominently. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a clandestine deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates. This sets the stage for an exhilarating chase across the galaxy, where guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue the bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will play a pivotal role in this update, tasked with looking after Grogu, which promises to be a delightful experience.

We had the opportunity to speak with Asa Kalama from Walt Disney Imagineering, who provided further insights into what fans can anticipate. "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. 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 elaborated, "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."
