Engineers to Care for Grogu in New Mandalorian-Themed Millennium Falcon Update - Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Celebration has 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 exciting update, arriving on May 22, 2026, will feature Engineers taking care of Grogu and introduce a new planet, Coruscant, to the adventure. Alongside Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, guests will embark on a choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline, promising an immersive and dynamic experience.

While the update will follow a different path from the plot of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will still prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka catching wind of a shady deal between ex-Imperial officers and pirates on Tatooine. This sets the stage for a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty in a thrilling, galaxy-spanning adventure.

Although complete details are yet to be revealed, we know that the Engineer's role will be significantly expanded, as they will be responsible for looking after Grogu. What could be more exciting than that?

To delve deeper into what guests can expect, we had the opportunity to speak with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama. He shared insights into the interactive elements of the mission. "Throughout the mission, we're going to give the engineers the opportunity to actually communicate with Grogu," Kalama explained. "We think it's going to be a lot 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 adventurous with the control panel. We love the idea of these fun little vignettes and moments where you're on the comm with Grogu."

Kalama also shed light on the choose-your-own-adventure aspect of the experience. "There will be a critical moment in your adventure where you're strapped for time and have to make a lightning-quick decision about which bounty to pursue. This will be the inciting incident that determines which destinations you'll visit."
