A NEW version of a beloved ride is getting ready to open in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’ve got all the details!

Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Galaxy’s Edge is getting an update for the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The new version of the ride opens on May 22nd and will feature some pretty big changes, like new scenes and some upgrades for the ride’s engineer role. But ahead of the opening of the attraction, we got to learn more about the Easter eggs and hidden details!

During a media event, we got the chance to speak with Imagineer Morgan who’s a software designer project manager for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. She revealed to us some things that Star Wars fans will want to look out for, as well as a SECRET mode to unlock while you’re riding!

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

First of all, she noted that while riding, you’ll want to pay attention to the signs you pass on Coruscant, as well as any ships you see on Bespin or Coruscant. If you’re familiar with Star Wars ships, you’ll likely spot some that you recognize!

In addition, while you’re on Coruscant, if you fly to the left, you’ll be able to hear cantina music. We had a hard time getting this one to work for us when we rode the attraction, so we haven’t yet confirmed if this is general cantina music or specifically “Cantina Band” the song itself.

New missions on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

But the biggest hidden detail for this ride? GROGU MODE! In order to access this hidden mode of the attraction, you’ll need to have two gunners in your ride vehicle. When you board, each gunner will need to hit their buttons in a specific order. The gunner on the left presses the left-most white button under the screen and then their flashing button. The gunner on the right presses the right-most white button under the screen and then their flashing button.

HE’S SO CUTE

If you do this, you’ll unlock a version of the ride where Grogu will narrate nearly the entire thing for you. So instead of hearing Mando’s voice throughout, you’ll hear adorable baby alien noises! Mando does step in a few times to give instructions for when to shoot at targets or to let the engineer know to choose the planet for the mission, but it’s mostly just Grogu throughout.

We have to help them on their bounty hunt!

This version of the ride was seriously so cute and fun, and we’d definitely recommend it for a second or third ride of the new version (you might want to hear the original audio for the new missions first). With these hidden details in mind, this attraction is going to interest Star Wars fans in a whole new way!
