Taking Control of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Taking Control of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

You can climb aboard the Falcon in all her ramshackle glory and settle into the cockpit to operate “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland® Park.

Combining immersive storytelling with interactive gameplay, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run makes you the protagonist of their own Star Wars adventure in a way never before undertaken by Disney Parks.

When it’s time for the mission to begin, you strap yourself into the Falcon cockpit in groups of six. Each person is assigned one of three critical roles to complete their mission: Pilots, Gunners and Flight Engineers.

Disney Parks Blog recently had the opportunity to tour this incredible new attraction with Asa Kalama, Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering. Let’s take a look!

Following the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Chewbacca brought the Falcon to Black Spire Outpost for repairs at this spaceport on the edge of the galaxy. In exchange for some much-needed replacement parts, Chewie is loaning the Falcon to Hondo Ohnaka, a smuggler turned “legitimate” businessman, who is now making good use of the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. It is at this point you enter the story of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

You can take control of the Falcon when the attraction opens at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park in California and on Aug. 29 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® in Florida.*
