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 experience where Engineers will have the unique opportunity to care for Grogu. Additionally, players will be able to explore the iconic planet Coruscant, alongside familiar locales like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, in a choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline.

Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update will diverge from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie but will still prominently feature Din Djarin and Grogu. The narrative kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a clandestine deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates. This sets the stage for an exhilarating, high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue the culprits and claim a bounty in a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will play a more significant role, tasked with looking after Grogu. This adds an exciting new layer to the gameplay experience.

In an exclusive interview, Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama provided further insights into what fans can expect. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama explained. "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 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. And that's going to be the sort of inciting incident that allows us to decide which are the different destinations we go to."
