Walt Disney Imagineering has pulled back the curtain on the storytelling that powers the latest update to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. A new behind-the-scenes video from Imagineering offers a look at the roughly 80-page script written for the attraction’s Mandalorian-themed overhaul, underscoring just how much narrative detail goes into what many guests experience as a fast-paced flight simulator.
Inside The Writing Of A New Mission
The update ties Smugglers Run more closely to the world of “The Mandalorian,” folding Din Djarin and Grogu into the experience and giving longtime riders a fresh reason to climb back into the cockpit of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. An 80-page script is a striking figure for an attraction that runs just a few minutes, and it speaks to the layers of dialogue, branching outcomes, and character interplay that Imagineers build so the ride feels alive no matter how a crew performs.
Smugglers Run has always leaned on interactivity, casting guests as pilots, gunners, and engineers whose choices shape the flight. Layering in a Mandalorian storyline means writing for even more variables, and the behind-the-scenes look highlights how the team crafts a script that can respond to a full range of guest performance while still delivering a cohesive Star Wars adventure.
A Deeper Look At Galaxy’s Edge
The video is the kind of detailed peek that fans of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge tend to love, offering a rare glimpse at the craft behind an attraction that opened as the marquee ride of the land. It also arrives as the Mandalorian additions continue to roll out for guests, giving riders new reasons to seek out hidden touches on board.
