The Mandalorian and Grogu-Themed Update to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Will Let Engineers Take Care of Grogu - Star Wars Celebration

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 promises an immersive experience where Engineers will have the unique opportunity to care for Grogu. The adventure will take guests to new and familiar planets including Coruscant, Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, as part of an engaging choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline.

Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update to Smuggler's Run will explore "a different path" from the narrative of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, yet it will still prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off when Hondo Ohnaka discovers a clandestine deal between ex-Imperial officers and pirates on Tatooine. This revelation sets the stage for a high-stakes galactic chase where guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a substantial bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be disclosed, it's clear that the role of the Engineer will be significantly expanded, with the responsibility of looking after Grogu. Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama provided insights into what fans can expect from this update.

"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."

The choose-your-own-adventure element will introduce crucial decision-making moments. Kalama elaborated, "There will be a sort of 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."
