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 engaging choose-your-own-adventure storyline, featuring new planets like Coruscant alongside familiar locales such as Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. Notably, Engineers will have the unique opportunity to care for Grogu, enhancing the immersive experience.
Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update will offer a fresh narrative distinct from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, yet will prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The story kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka learning of a secretive 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 pursue these fugitives and claim a bounty, promising a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While specifics remain under wraps, it's clear that Engineers will play a crucial role, particularly in looking after Grogu, which adds a delightful twist to the experience.
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, "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."
