For Star Wars fans and adventure seekers alike, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney’s Hollywood Studios offers a thrilling, immersive experience that lets you live out your Star Wars fantasies. Located in the heart of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, this attraction puts you right in the cockpit of the most famous starship in the galaxy.

The Journey Begins

As you step into the bustling spaceport of Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, you’ll immediately be drawn to the life-size replica of the Millennium Falcon. The detailed exterior sets the stage for the incredible adventure that awaits inside. The queue winds through a bustling spaceport filled with cargo, droids, and the sounds of an active interstellar hub, creating an atmosphere that’s rich with anticipation.

Inside the Cockpit

Once aboard, you’re greeted by Hondo Ohnaka, the charismatic pirate from the Star Wars universe, who has “borrowed” the Falcon for a special mission. Hondo’s goal? To smuggle valuable coaxium, and he needs your help to get it.

Crew Assignments

Before you know it, you’ll be stepping into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. Each crew of six is assigned roles: two pilots, two gunners, and two engineers. The pilots navigate the ship through the stars, the gunners fend off enemy fighters, and the engineers keep the Falcon in top shape. Each role is interactive, ensuring that every crew member is crucial to the mission’s success.

The Flight Experience

The experience is fully immersive, with realistic visuals, sounds, and movements that make you feel like you’re really flying the Falcon. The responsiveness of the controls adds to the excitement, as your actions directly influence the outcome of the mission. Successfully securing the coaxium results in Hondo’s praise, while failure leads to humorous reprimands and a bit of good-natured ribbing.
