Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to launch alongside the new movie. Fans can look forward to Engineers taking on the role of Grogu's caretakers and exploring the iconic planet of Coruscant, in addition to visiting Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. This choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline promises an immersive experience, allowing players to make pivotal decisions that shape their journey.
Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update to Smuggler's Run will offer a unique narrative path distinct from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, yet it will still feature Din Djarin and Grogu in exciting new ways. The story kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka learning of a clandestine deal between ex-Imperial officers and pirates on Tatooine, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue these villains and claim a substantial bounty, embarking on a dynamic, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will play a significant role, taking care of Grogu during the mission. This adds an exciting layer to the gameplay, enhancing the connection between players and the beloved characters.
To delve deeper into what fans can expect, we spoke with Asa Kalama from Walt Disney Imagineering. "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu," Kalama shared. "It's going to be a ton of fun. There may be times when Mando has to leave the Razor Crest, and Grogu, left to his own devices, might get a little too enthusiastic with the control panel. We love the idea of these fun little vignettes and moments where you're communicating with Grogu."
Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained that players will face a critical moment where they must make a rapid decision on which bounty to pursue. "This decision will be the inciting incident that determines which destinations you'll visit," he added, promising a thrilling and personalized experience for each player.
