The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run preshow has undergone a significant transformation as the attraction prepares for its upcoming update. This update, which introduces missions from different eras featuring characters from The Mandalorian and Grogu, has led to a shift in the narrative and the overall experience. The preshow now focuses on Hondo Ohnaka's pirating nature, offering a more vague timeline compared to the original story. This change is expected to be mirrored at Disneyland's version of the attraction, as both experiences are being updated identically. The update, which was first announced during the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 in 2024, will allow guests to embark on new missions, with the crew in control of their own destination. This element of gameplay, as one might expect, is chosen by those in the Engineer seats on board. The new enhancements are set to debut on May 22, 2026, just in time for the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, providing an exciting new adventure for Star Wars fans. The use of Epic's Unreal Engine, as mentioned by Dave Filoni, will help bring this new adventure to life, offering a thrilling and dangerous experience alongside Mando and Grogu. This update not only adds to the excitement of the attraction but also highlights the ongoing evolution of Disney's Star Wars experiences, keeping fans engaged and eager for more.
