Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details about the 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 opportunity for Engineers to care for Grogu and expands the adventure to include visits to Coruscant, alongside Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. This choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline promises an immersive experience for fans.
Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update will take guests on a different narrative path from the movie but will still feature Din Djarin and Grogu in exciting new roles. The story kicks off when Hondo Ohnaka learns of a deal on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and pirates, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track these fugitives and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are still forthcoming, it's clear that Engineers will have a significant role in this update, taking on the responsibility of caring for Grogu. What could be more exciting than that?
In an exclusive interview, Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama shared additional insights into what fans can expect. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually communicate with Grogu," Kalama explained. "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 these fun little vignettes and moments where you're sort of on the comm with Grogu."
Kalama also touched on the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, noting, "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. This will be the inciting incident that allows us to decide which different destinations we go to."
