Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update coming to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, alongside the release of the new movie. This update will introduce unique features, including Engineers being tasked with the care of Grogu. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to explore the iconic planet of Coruscant, joining Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor in this immersive choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline.
Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update to Smuggler's Run will diverge from the narrative of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but will still prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates, setting the stage for an exhilarating chase across the galaxy. Guests will collaborate with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While complete details are yet to be disclosed, it's confirmed that Engineers will have an enhanced role, taking care of Grogu throughout the adventure. This promises an engaging experience for all participants.
In an exclusive interview with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama, we gained further insight into what guests 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. So, we love the idea of there being these fun little vignettes and moments where you're sort of on the comm with Grogu."
Discussing the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama added, "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."
