New Mission with Mando and Grogu: Expansion for “Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run” Coming in 2026 to Disney Hollywood Studios

An exciting expansion awaits visitors at Disney Hollywood Studios in 2026: The popular attraction “Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run” will introduce a new storyline featuring Mando and Grogu, the beloved characters from “The Mandalorian”. This announcement was made during this year’s D23 Expo at the “Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase.”

Expansion Announced for Both Resorts

Dave Filoni, the creative mind behind the Star Wars series, and Josh D’Amaro, Disney Experiences Chairman, revealed that the new mission will be available at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. The expansion is set to launch concurrently with the release of the film “The Mandalorian and Grogu” in 2026.

Innovation through Epic’s Unreal Engine

A highlight of this expansion is the use of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, which was previously employed in creating the virtual sets for “The Mandalorian”. Thanks to the extended partnership between Disney and Epic Games, this technology will now be integrated into the latest adventure for park visitors.

Quotes and Expectations

Dave Filoni emphasized the importance of innovation combined with storytelling: “The connection between storytelling and innovation has always been central to Lucasfilm, and we are excited to see where this collaboration will take us next.” Fans can look forward to embarking on thrilling missions alongside Mando and Grogu starting in 2026.
