Ever wondered what it would be like to step inside the Millennium Falcon? Here in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you get to do just that. This isn’t just a model; it’s a full-scale, incredibly detailed replica of the “fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.” You can practically smell the engine grease and hear the hum of the hyperdrive.
The Millennium Falcon installation is the heart of the Smugglers Run ride. Before you even board, you’ll wind your way through a queue that’s an experience in itself. You’ll see Hondo Ohnaka, a smuggler who needs your help. Be sure to listen closely to his voice. It belongs to the very talented Jim Cummings, the same person who voices Winnie the Pooh!
Hondo has a proposition for you: pilot the Millennium Falcon on a smuggling run. You and your crew of six will be tasked with piloting the ship, manning the guns, or repairing the engines. What many people don’t realize is that your performance actually affects the ride! Fly recklessly, and the Millennium Falcon will bear the scars of your adventure.
As you move through the queue, keep your eyes peeled. Disney Imagineers have hidden countless Easter eggs for devoted Star Wars fans. You’ll spot nods to the movies everywhere, from proton torpedoes to a dejarik game. It’s in the holding area before the ride that you finally get to set foot inside the legendary ship. Take a moment to explore the Millennium Falcon’s lounge. Snap a photo by the dejarik table or behind Chewbacca’s seat. Soon, you’ll be called to the cockpit, where your adventure truly begins.
