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

Star Wars Celebration unveiled thrilling new details for the upcoming *The Mandalorian and Grogu*-themed update for *Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run*, set to launch alongside the new movie. This update introduces Engineers taking on the role of caring for Grogu, and it will allow players to explore the iconic planet of Coruscant, in addition to familiar destinations like Tatooine, Bespin, and Endor. Scheduled for release on May 22, 2026, this update promises a unique storyline that diverges from the plot of *The Mandalorian & Grogu* movie, yet still prominently features both Din Djarin and Grogu.

The storyline kicks off with Hondo Ohnaka uncovering a deal on Tatooine between former Imperial officers and pirates, sparking a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join forces with Mando and Grogu to track these fugitives and claim a bounty in an exhilarating, galaxy-spanning adventure.

While comprehensive details are yet to be revealed, it's confirmed that Engineers will play a significantly larger role, entrusted with the care of Grogu, adding a delightful new dimension to the experience.

To delve deeper into what fans can expect, we had the opportunity to speak with Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama. He shared insights on the interactive elements of the mission: "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."

Kalama also shed light on the choose-your-own-adventure aspect of the update: "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."
