Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is preparing to land on the big screen Friday, May 22, and we’re joining the mission to mark its arrival across the galaxy. Guests can look forward to everything from new attraction updates and interactive experiences to out-of-this-world food and merchandise, celebrating the story of Mando and Grogu in new ways!
Now, let’s buckle up our frog-loving companions and jump into the action!
In this new storyline, Hondo Ohnaka has caught wind of a high-stakes deal unfolding on the sands of Tatooine, where ex-Imperial officers have crossed paths with a ruthless band of pirates. With a hefty bounty on the line, you’ll take possession of the Millennium Falcon, join forces with Mando and Grogu, and launch into a daring pursuit across the stars.
On this attraction, guests can take the controls of the legendary Millennium Falcon and chart their own course through the galaxy. Each mission may carry you to iconic Star Wars destinations including the cloud city of Bespin, the shattered remains of the second Death Star near Endor, or the towering cityscape of the galactic capital, Coruscant.
Adding to the fun, each role introduces fresh gameplay moments, new interactions, and unexpected surprises along the way. A new interactive feature allows the engineer position to check in on Grogu throughout the mission, and make the pivotal planet choice that charts the course.
On May 16, guests visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland park were surprised with a special appearance from Pedro Pascal, who stopped by Black Spire Outpost and delighted fans with an unforgettable moment in the land.
Later in the evening, the cast of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu joined the adventure, exploring Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge together. The group immersed themselves in the sights, sounds, and stories of Batuu while experiencing “The Curious Child” for the first time.
