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 promises an immersive choose-your-own-adventure experience, with new planets to explore including Coruscant, alongside familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. A standout feature is the enhanced role of the Engineer, who will now be tasked with caring for Grogu, adding a new layer of interaction and responsibility to the gameplay.
Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update will carve out "a different path" from the narrative of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but will prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a lucrative deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates. This sets the stage for a high-stakes galactic chase, where guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, the Engineer's role is set to be significantly expanded, offering a unique opportunity to interact with Grogu. Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama shared insights into what guests can expect, emphasizing the interactive elements. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama explained. "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. We love the idea of these fun little vignettes and moments where you're sort of on the comm with Grogu."
The choose-your-own-adventure aspect will add a thrilling dimension to the experience. Kalama noted, "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 decision will be the inciting incident that determines the different destinations you'll visit."
