It’s Time For You to Take Charge of the Millennium Falcon at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
It’s official! Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new era for those visiting the theme parks as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge begins welcoming the crowds at Disneyland Resort. The main draw of this stunning new land will be the opening of Smuggler’s Run which allows you to climb aboard the Millennium Falcon in all her ramshackle glory on a mission to deliver some smuggled goods!
This state-of-the-art attraction seamlessly melds interactive storytelling with interactive gameplay, making you the protagonist of your own Star Wars adventure. When it’s time for your mission to being, you’ll strap yourself into the Falcon cockpit in groups of six. Each person is assigned one of three critical roles to complete your mission. These include Pilots, Gunners and Flight Engineers.

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 out the Falcon to Hondo Ohnaka, a smuggler turned “legitimate” businessman. It is at this point you enter the story of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
You won’t want to miss your chance to take control of the Falcon when the attraction opens at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on May 31 at Disneyland park in California and Aug. 29 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. But remember Disneyland visitors, a valid reservation for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is required for those hoping to gain access to the park from May 31 – June 23rd.
