D23 came and went without any word about a brand new Star Wars attraction at the Disney parks. But there’s one currently existing ride at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom that’s going to get a few familiar faces. The Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run ride will feature a new mission that incorporates The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Lucasfilm creative executive Dave Filoni came on stage at D23’s Disney Experiences panel to make the announcement. Filoni noted that Epic Games’ Unreal Engine–which already helped Lucasfilm produce The Mandalorian through the virtual set known as The Volume–will be used to incorporate Din Djarin and his adoptive son, Grogu, into Smuggler’s Run.

“The intersection of storytelling and innovation has always been central to Lucasfilm and we’re excited to see where this collaboration will take us next,” said Filoni. “Just imagine it: you’ll be able to fly alongside Mando and Grogu on thrilling, and dangerous, missions.”
The new mission–or missions, as Filoni implies–will be added to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in 2026. That’s not a coincidence, since The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is also set to open on May 22, 2026.
