Din Djarin and Grogu join Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run for an exciting new adventure. Here's the official description from Disney:

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.

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.

New collectibles such as toys, puzzles, water bottles and clothing will be available at multiple locations in the Parks and at Disney Springs: Tatooine Traders, Mission: SPACE Cargo Bay, Star Wars Galactic Outpost, or World of Disney.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu blasts into theaters this Friday, May 22nd.

Millennium Falcon Power Up

LEGO/Lucasfilm

The new SMART Play bricks from LEGO sound like a lot of fun. They light up, emit sounds, and contain motion sensors for things like lightsaber battles. I can't wait to try them out! Here's a fun animated Star Wars short showing how they work.

Hondo Ohnaka

I really enjoy the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios. It's so fun to fly the Millennium Falcon on a dangerous mission to liberate coaxium from the First Order. The smuggling operations are run by a rather familiar face from the Star Wars animated series, Hondo Ohnaka.

Hondo first appeared, causing more than a bit of trouble for Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. After a few episodes, the Weequay pirate really starts to grow on you, so when he popped up again in Star Wars Rebels, it was unexpectedly delightful. After many disreputable adventures, he opened Ohnaka Transport Solutions in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, "borrowing" the Millennium Falcon for a smuggling run or two.

Anyone up for a game of Dejarik? I love all of the detail in the queue for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

It's Time To Fly On The Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run

Are you ready to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy? The latest "Ride & Learn" video from Disney takes us on a journey to another world aboard the Millennium Falcon. 

I was lucky enough to ride Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run three times last year, twice as one of the pilots. It is amazing. I can't wait to fly her again!

These Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures Shorts Explore the Fun of Galaxy's Edge

Lucasfilm

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures shorts are a brief glimpse into the Star Wars universe that are perfect for kids. The latest stories take place in the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, the home of Galaxy's Edge.

In "Black Spire Outpost", Chewie's Porg friend explore the town. He wanders into Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities, dances in Oga's Cantina, finds Vi Moradi, the Rebel spy, and follows his nose to Ronto Roasters before Chewie catches up with him.

In "Millennium Falcon - Smuggler's Run", a group a young rebels become Hondo Ohnaka's flight crew aboard the Millennium Falcon. 

In "Rise of the Resistance", a young rebel joins the Resistance on the adventure of a lifetime.

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run is a blast!

I love the Porgs from Star Wars almost as much as I love the Little Green Men from Toy Story. When I heard there were Porg nests in the queue for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, I had to search them out. This one is in the exit tunnel.

This Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Funko POPVinyl Is Too Cool

Disney/Funko

Once you've visited Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios and flown the Millennium  Falcon on Smuggler's Run, you'll definitely want a souvenir or two. Funko has created a Hondo Ohnaka POPVinyl figure just for the occasion. This collectible can be found at Once Upon A Time in Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately, like most everything in Galaxy's Edge, it's a bit pricey. I was going to get one, but $26.99 seems a bit steep. Too bad, because it really is a fun idea.

Photo of the Week

Smuggler's Run in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is fantastic! Where else can you fly the Millennium Falcon? (Even if you aren't the best pilot. Just remember, tiny adjustments, tiny adjustments.)

Solo: A Star Wars Story On Blu-ray

Lucasfilm

Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives on Blu-ray today. The movie was unexpectedly fun. Although it took me awhile to get used to the young cast in place of familiar faces, I enjoyed the chance to see how my favorite smuggler and rogue got started on his life of crime. We learned how Han, Chewie, and Lando met, and we finally saw what happened on the mysterious Kessel Run. Solo: A Star Wars Story may not be as intense as other Star Wars films, but it is still a decent story that I'm sure I'll watch again and again.

There are a few different Blu-ray sets available, but all of them come with the following bonus features:

• Solo: The Director & Cast Roundtable
• Team Chewie - A behind the scenes look at what it take to bring Chewbacca to life
• Kasdan on Kasdan - An interview with the father and son team that wrote the script
• Remaking the Millennium Falcon - From swanky to stripped, track the ship's transformation
