Exciting news emerged from Star Wars Celebration about the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, set to coincide with the release of the new movie. This update promises to immerse players in a thrilling, choose-your-own-adventure-style storyline that spans multiple planets including Tatooine, Bespin, Endor, and the newly added Coruscant. One of the highlights of this update is the expanded role of Engineers, who will now have the unique responsibility of looking after Grogu, adding a new layer of engagement and interaction.

This eagerly anticipated update will launch on May 22, 2026, and while it will take a different narrative path from the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will still prominently feature Din Djarin and Grogu. The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka learning of a shady deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates. This sets the stage for a high-stakes galactic chase where guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to pursue the culprits and claim a bounty, delivering an exhilarating, dynamic adventure across the galaxy.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will play a pivotal role, tasked with caring for Grogu. Asa Kalama from Walt Disney Imagineering shared insights on 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 explained. "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."

The choose-your-own-adventure aspect adds a thrilling twist, with Kalama noting, "There will be a sort of 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."
