Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is one of the signature attractions inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park. This interactive experience allows guests to take control of the legendary Millennium Falcon and join Hondo Ohnaka on a fast-paced smuggling mission across the Star Wars galaxy.
As of May 2026, the attraction now has a brand-new storyline inspired by The Mandalorian and Grogu. In the updated mission, guests team up with Din Djarin and Grogu to track down ex-Imperial officers while collecting valuable cargo for Hondo. The new adventure introduces selectable destinations, upgraded gameplay features, branching storylines, and new interactions with Grogu throughout the ride.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Ride Tips
Success on Smugglers Run depends heavily on teamwork. Guests are assigned one of three interactive roles during the mission: Pilot, Gunner, or Engineer. While assignments are usually randomized, Cast Members may be able to accommodate role requests when possible.
The new Mandalorian and Grogu storyline expands each role even further:
- Pilots now experience more responsive controls that create smoother and more cinematic flight sequences.
- Gunners can switch between automatic targeting and manual targeting modes during combat scenes.
- Engineers now play a major role in the story by selecting which planet the crew travels to and operating a new tractor beam system used to collect cargo crates.
Depending on your crew’s performance, you may return to Hondo with anywhere from zero to six cargo crates by the end of the mission.
Guests should also keep an eye out for hidden Easter eggs throughout the attraction, including references to classic Star Wars films, hidden gonk droids, podracer wreckage on Tatooine, and a secret “Grogu Mode” that can be unlocked during the ride.
Is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Kid-Friendly?
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is considered family-friendly for guests who meet the height requirement. The attraction combines motion simulation with interactive gameplay, making it especially popular with Star Wars fans, older children, and families looking for a more immersive experience.
Younger riders may find some scenes intense due to the fast movement, loud sounds, and simulator effects, but many kids enjoy being able to actively participate in the mission.
Best For: Star Wars fans, families, tweens, teens, and guests who enjoy interactive attractions.
Will Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Cause Motion Sickness?
Because the attraction uses motion simulator technology, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run can cause motion sickness for some guests. However, many riders find it less intense than Star Tours because it does not use 3D glasses.
Guests sensitive to motion simulators may want to request the engineer role, which is often considered slightly less intense than sitting in the pilot seats near the front of the cockpit.
