Star Wars Celebration has unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to launch alongside the new movie. This update promises an immersive experience, where Engineers will have the unique opportunity to look after Grogu. Additionally, adventurers will be able to explore the iconic planet Coruscant, alongside familiar destinations like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, as part of a captivating choose-your-own-adventure storyline.
Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, when this exciting update will become available. While it diverges from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will still feature dynamic interactions with both Din Djarin and Grogu. The narrative kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka uncovering a clandestine deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates, igniting a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue the culprits and secure a lucrative bounty in this galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will play a more significant role, taking care of Grogu, which adds a delightful layer to the experience. To delve deeper, we had the privilege of speaking with Asa Kalama from Walt Disney Imagineering, who 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 shared. "We think it's going to be a ton of fun. There may be times when Mando has to deboard the Razor Crest, leaving Grogu to his own devices, potentially leading to some playful chaos on the control panel. We love the idea of these fun, spontaneous moments where you're communicating directly with Grogu."
Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained that there will be a pivotal moment where players must make a swift decision on which bounty to pursue. "This decision will be the inciting incident that determines the different destinations you'll visit," he added, enhancing the interactive and personalized nature of the adventure.
