The popular Star Wars attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is receiving significant enhancements starting May 22nd. The updated experience integrates characters from the new The Mandalorian and Grogu film into the ride narrative. Guests now take on roles as engineers who help smuggle cargo for Hondo while assisting The Mandalorian in hunting bounties across various Star Wars locations. Unlike previous versions where engineers simply operated controls, this iteration requires players to track targets and choose mission destinations between Coruscant, Bespin, or the Death Star wreckage. A unique feature involves interacting with Grogu throughout the journey, requiring riders to fix random button presses made by the character. Reviewers found the engineer role far more immersive than before, transforming it into a mix of technical work and childcare duties. The gunner position remains unchanged while pilot and engineer roles receive substantial improvements to overall engagement. This update marks a major evolution for one of Disney World’s most beloved attractions with fresh storytelling elements from current Star Wars media.
