Star Wars Celebration 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. Fans can look forward to Engineers taking on the exciting role of caring for Grogu. Moreover, the update introduces a new planet, Coruscant, to the adventure, joining familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor in a choose-your-own-adventure storyline.
Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, when this update will be available. While it diverges from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it promises to feature both Din Djarin and Grogu in fresh and engaging ways. The story kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a deal on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and pirates, leading to a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

Although full details are yet to be disclosed, we know that Engineers will play a significantly larger role, with the responsibility of looking after Grogu. What could be more exciting than that?
In an exclusive interview, Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama provided further insights into what fans can anticipate. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama revealed. "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."
Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained that there will be "sort of 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."
