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. Fans can look forward to Engineers taking on the role of caretakers for Grogu, and exploring the iconic planet Coruscant, in addition to Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor, as part of an engaging choose-your-own-adventure storyline.

This exciting update, scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, will diverge from the plot of *The Mandalorian & Grogu* movie but will prominently feature both Din Djarin and Grogu in new and captivating ways. The story kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka discovering a high-stakes deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates, setting the stage for an intense galaxy-spanning chase. Guests will have the opportunity to team up with Mando and Grogu to track down the culprits and claim a bounty, making for a dynamic and immersive adventure.

While full details are yet to be revealed, it's clear that Engineers will have a significant role in this update, as they'll be responsible for caring for Grogu. What could be more exciting than that?

To delve deeper into what fans can expect, we had the privilege of speaking with Asa Kalama from Walt Disney Imagineering. He shared insights on the interactive elements of the mission, stating, "Throughout the mission, we're going to be giving the engineers the opportunity to actually get to communicate with Grogu. 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."

Regarding the choose-your-own-adventure aspect, Kalama explained, "There will be a 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."
