Millennium Falcon Ride Gets Mandalorian & Grogu Mission Starting May 2026

Big changes are officially coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — and this time it’s not rumor or speculation.

Disney has confirmed that Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will receive a major new Mandalorian-themed mission beginning May 22, 2026, tying directly into the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu in theaters.

And yes — this is a full gameplay and story expansion.

Din Djarin and Grogu Take Over Smugglers Run

Starting May 22, 2026, guests boarding the Millennium Falcon will join Din Djarin and Grogu on an all-new mission across the galaxy.

The updated attraction will focus on tracking down elusive ex-Imperial officers, bringing riders directly into a fresh Star Wars storyline connected to the upcoming theatrical film.

This marks the biggest update to Smugglers Run since Galaxy’s Edge first opened — and it firmly places The Mandalorian era front and center inside Disney’s parks.

New Destinations Across the Galaxy

One of the biggest changes is player control.

For the first time ever on Smugglers Run, the crew will choose their own destination during the mission, leading to different possible adventures across the Star Wars galaxy.

Confirmed locations include:

• Bespin
• The wreckage of the second Death Star near Endor
• Coruscant, the iconic city-planet newly introduced to the attraction

This branching system should add major replay value and make each ride feel more dynamic and unpredictable.

New Gameplay Features and Grogu Interaction

The update isn’t just cosmetic — it also introduces new gameplay elements.

A brand-new feature allows engineers on the Falcon to communicate directly with Grogu during the mission, creating a more interactive and character-driven experience for riders.

That addition alone is likely to be a huge hit with fans, especially those traveling with younger Star Wars enthusiasts.

Combined with new destinations and story beats, the Mandalorian update effectively transforms Smugglers Run into a living extension of the current Star Wars timeline.

Perfect Timing With the New Star Wars Movie

The new mission launches the exact same day The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters, making the attraction part of a larger coordinated Star Wars rollout across Disney’s parks and film division.

This synergy highlights Disney’s ongoing strategy of integrating new Star Wars stories across multiple platforms — films, Disney+, and theme park experiences — all at once.

For fans visiting Galaxy’s Edge in 2026 and beyond, the Millennium Falcon will no longer just be about smuggling cargo for Hondo Ohnaka.

It will be about joining Din Djarin and Grogu on a brand-new adventure across the galaxy.
