More Details on New Controls and Scenes Coming to Smugglers Run in 2026

You may remember that we recently shared that new scenes featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu would debut on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Walt Disney World in 2026. This weekend at the Star Wars Celebration in Japan, Imagineers and Lucasfilm executives shared more details about the storyline and new controls that would be available to guests next year.

Starting May 22, 2026, at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will allow guests to control the iconic ship like never before. For the first time ever, the crew will be in control of their own destination, leading to potential adventures on Bespin, the wreckage of the second Death Star around Endor, or the just-announced bustling city-planet, Coruscant. Another new gameplay addition allows the engineer positions to communicate with Grogu during the mission.

These updates will debut on the same day as The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is released in theaters. Fortunately, if you’re visiting Walt Disney World during this time, you won’t have to worry about any spoilers. These new scenes will follow a unique storyline from the movie. Here’s what Disney has to say about this new adventure coming to Smugglers Run.

In this new thrilling storyline, Hondo Ohnaka has gotten wind of a deal going down on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and a band of pirates. There’s a generous bounty for their capture, so you’ll borrow the iconic ship and team up with Mando and Grogu to track them down and explore the galaxy.

Here are a few pieces of concept art released by Disney.
