Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Smuggler's Run Update & BDX Droids Return

Yesterday, the Disney Parks Blog shared exciting Galaxy's Edge news that was revealed at The Future of World-Building at Disney panel at SXSW. Let's take a look!


SMUGGLER’S RUN

Smuggler’s Run will receive a fascinating update at Disneyland and WDW! Fans will have the opportunity to travel to new planets including Endor, Bespin, and Tatooine with Mando and Grogu beginning May 22nd, 2026. That’s right; it will be the same day The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is released. Jon Favreau shared the following...

This isn’t going to retell what happens in the movie – it’s more like participating in something that’s happening just off-camera from what you see in the film.

I CANNOT believe these fan-favorite planets will be featured in the next Star Wars film! I'm the most excited about Bespin because it's beautiful and it seems like we've spent the least time there. I cannot ride Smuggler's Run, but I can't wait to hear from all of you about your travel experiences.


BDX DROIDS

During last year’s Season of the Force at Disneyland, the BDX droids visited Batuu West, and they were absolutely adorable! Now, they’ll travel the galaxy and visit Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris!

I’m so happy that more fans will have the chance to meet them. But that’s not all! These little guys will also appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, along with an Anzellan named Auto, who specializes in tuning up droids.
