Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, thousands of guests have flocked to the new land since its grand opening.

Once you enter into Galaxy’s Edge, you feel like you stepped right into a Star Wars movie. The attention to detail and attractions within the land are truly amazing and impressive.

With rides like Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run inside, Hollywood Studios continues to be one of the busiest parks in Walt Disney World.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Do you want to be a pilot, an engineer, or gunner? This is one of the decisions you will have to make once you come aboard the Millennium Falcon.

I have been a pilot twice on this ride. My first ride was pretty bumpy, but my second was a little smoother, thanks to some tips from Kenny!

Guests board their own pod which holds six people. The mission of the ride is to retrieve as much loot as you can during a mission which is directed by Hondo Ohnaka.

the millennium falcon measures more than 100 feet long!

Each role is crucial, so whether you are a pilot, gunner or engineer, each person is in control. No ride is quite the same!

Chewie Mode

Have you ever tried to unlock “Chewie Mode” while riding? Read about how you can unlock this fun mode where Chewbacca “talks” to you all throughout your flight here!

I (Maggie), will never forget unlocking this mode with Kenny and the other writers during a recent visit. It was so much fun, but it also takes a lot of cooperation, too!

Have you gone on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run before at Hollywood Studios? Were you able to unlock Chewie mode? Tell us about it in the comments below or on our Facebook page.
