Mandalorian Magic: Grogu Joins Smugglers Run with New Controls and Adventures
Galactic Upgrades Coming to Smugglers Run
Bright Suns from Star Wars Celebration Japan! Big news just dropped from Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm during a fan-packed panel, revealing thrilling updates headed to Star Wars attractions across Disney Parks.
Chart a Course to New Worlds
Starting May 22, 2026, guests at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort can take the helm of the Millennium Falcon in a whole new way. For the first time, the Smugglers Run crew will pick their own galactic destination—whether it's the cloudy vistas of Bespin, the ruins of the second Death Star near Endor, or the neon-lit sprawl of the newly revealed city-planet Coruscant.
Even more exciting, engineers aboard the Falcon will now be able to communicate with Grogu during missions, adding a delightful twist to the crew's responsibilities.
Mando and Grogu Enter Hyperspace
Timed to launch alongside Lucasfilm’s upcoming film The Mandalorian and Grogu, this revamped experience brings familiar favorites into the cockpit. Though the attraction's plot will chart a new path, the heart-pounding adventure remains deeply rooted in the Star Wars galaxy.
This time, Hondo Ohnaka has sniffed out a shady deal happening on Tatooine involving ex-Imperials and space pirates. With a bounty on the line, crews will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and blaze through hyperspace.
Powered by ILM and Unreal Engine 5
Thanks to the magic of Industrial Light & Magic and Unreal Engine 5—tools used to craft The Mandalorian series—guests will feel fully immersed in this next-gen experience. Every twist, turn, and transmission from Grogu brings the galaxy one step closer.
Droid Sightings Ahead
To wrap up the reveal, everyone’s favorite BDX Droids made a surprise appearance. These fan-favorites are currently stationed at Tokyo Disney Resort, with visits to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris coming soon.
