New Updates to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run A New Mission Coming May 22. This morning, the Walt Disney World website officially updated the ride description and added context for the upcoming update to the attraction inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Fly the Millennium Falcon on a thrilling interactive smuggling adventure—including a new mission with the Mandalorian and Grogu, beginning May 22, 2026!

The big change and new information is that the Engineer position will interact with Grogu. This all takes place on the day the new Star Wars movie “The Mandalorian and Grogu” hits theaters. You can watch the brand new trailer here. Imagineering revealed that this update is a major technical step forward, designed to make the experience feel “100% authentic to the film.” This technical partnership (with Epic Games, NVIDIA, and others) is helping Imagineering push the limits of what a theme park character can be, promising more expressive and lifelike experiences for all guests.

You can check out the full description now on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run website: A New Mission Is Coming Soon

Beginning May 22, 2026, join Din Djarin, the mysterious Mandalorian bounty hunter, and his youngling Grogu on an exciting new mission—tracking down elusive ex-Imperial officers throughout the galaxy.

A new gameplay addition allows the engineer positions to communicate with Grogu during the mission.
