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.

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.

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the Force Be

With You,

Always

Cantina Song - Oga's Cantina

Here's a little peppy Star Wars music to start your day off on the right note. This particular version of the Cantina Song can be heard in Oga's Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Photo of the Week

The queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance feels like you're really entering a rebel base.

I could definitely go for a Mustafarian Lava Roll right now.

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

DCappella - Cantina Band

Disney

When DCappella takes on the music from the Star Wars band "Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes", the results are hilarious.

Oga’s Cantina is the perfect location for a little impromptu a capella from outer space. 

Batuuan Ronto Wrap Recipe From Disney

Disney

I love Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Hollywood Studios. The atmosphere is fantastic and the rides are incredible. And there is some truly intriguing food. My favorite meal is a Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters. If you can't make it to Disney World to try a wrap, here's a recipe from Disney that you can make at home. 

Batuuan Ronto Wrap

Serves 8

Roasted Pork Shoulder

2 pounds pork butt

2 Tbsp canola oil

2 Tbsp coarse salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat pork butt dry with paper towel. Rub with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Place pork butt on the rack of roasting pan and cook for 3 hours, until pork is 160°F. Cool for at least 15 minutes, then slice into 1/8-inch thick slices. 

Ronto Slaw

2 Tbsp sugar 

2 1/2 Tbsp sambal

2 Tbsp canola oil 

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 

1 Tbsp dried parsley

1 tsp coarse salt, plus more, to taste

1 tsp black pepper

1 cup matchstick carrots

3 cups shredded cabbage 

Combine sugar, sambal, canola oil, vinegar, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add carrots and cabbage and toss until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Peppercorn Sauce

1 cup mayonnaise 

1 Tbsp lime juice

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 

1 tsp ground sumac

1/4 tsp ground coriander 

1/8 tsp Szechuan peppercorns 

1/2 Tbsp coarse salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Grilled Pita Bread 

1 Tbsp canola oil 

8 pita Flatbread

Preheat grill or sauté pan over medium heat. Brush pan with oil. Toast bread for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Grilled Sausages

8 4 oz smoked sausages

Preheat grill pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Grill sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until 160°F. Add reserved pork slices to pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. Keep warm until ready to serve. 

To assemble the Ronto Wrap

Place 2 pieces of pork shoulder on each slice of pita bread. Place one grilled sausage on top. Top each wrap with 1/2 cup of Ronto Slaw and drizzle with Peppercorn Sauce.

Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is absolutely amazing!

I hope I get the chance to experience it again on my next trip to Disney World.

Do you prefer the Blue Milk or the Green Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge? 

Photo of the Week

I love all of the little references sprinkled throughout Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. These Meiloorun Fruit can be found in the entrance of Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. In Star Wars Rebels, the fruit are the favorite snack of Hera Syndulla.
