Engineers to Care for Grogu in Updated Millennium Falcon Ride - Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Celebration has unveiled thrilling new details about an upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to launch alongside the new movie. This update introduces a unique choose-your-own-adventure storyline where players can visit planets like Coruscant, Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. A standout feature is that Engineers will now have the exciting responsibility of caring for Grogu throughout the mission.

Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, as this update promises to take you on "a different path" from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, yet it will still prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a high-stakes deal on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and pirates. This sets the stage for an exhilarating chase across the galaxy where guests team up with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty.

While full details are yet to be revealed, one exciting aspect is the expanded role of the Engineer, who will be tasked with looking after Grogu. Imagine the joy of having Grogu under your wing!

We had the privilege of discussing this update with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama, who provided further insights into what fans 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 these fun little vignettes and moments where you're sort of on the comm with Grogu."

Kalama also shed light on the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, stating, "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."
