ChangedMay 22, 2026at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Launched a major story and ride-media overhaul: a new Mandalorian and Grogu mission for Hondo Ohnaka that opens on Tatooine and then branches to a crew-chosen destination (Cloud City on Bespin, Coruscant, or the second Death Star wreckage near Endor), reworked crew roles (engineer tractor-beam cargo control and Grogu calls to the Razor Crest, auto/manual gunner targeting), and an all-new ride film rebuilt with Unreal Engine.

ChangedMay 11, 2026at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Updated Hondo Ohnaka's pre-show to an era-neutral script, removing First Order and Resistance references so the same briefing works with both the original ride and the incoming Mandalorian mission.
