Overview
- Following Thursday's attraction-poster reveal, Disney confirmed a new Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission starring The Mandalorian and Grogu at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 22.
- The storyline shifts to a bounty hunt after Hondo Ohnaka picks up a deal on Tatooine involving ex-Imperial officers and pirates, with guests joining Din Djarin and Grogu to track the culprits.
- For the first time, crews will choose where to fly, with listed destinations including Bespin, Coruscant, and the wreckage of the second Death Star above Endor, which creates different run-throughs.
- Engineers get a larger role as they can communicate with Grogu during the mission, answering a long-running complaint that the position felt less engaging than pilot or gunner.
- Disney rebuilt the visual system in Unreal Engine 5 with ILM assets on upgraded NVIDIA hardware for real-time rendering, and the update debuts the same day the Mandalorian and Grogu film reaches theaters.
