Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at both Disneyland in Anaheim, California and at Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida are a must visit for any Star Wars fan. A picture in front of the Millenium Falcon, a chance to make and purchase a light saber and a droid, and joining the fight and fully immersing yourself in a Star Wars adventure on the best theme park attraction ever created - Rise of the Resistance.
Another must do, of course, is riding Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run. But for the BIGGEST of Star Wars fans, I'm going to take this tip one step further.
When deciding who in your party is going to be Left and Right Pilot, Left and Right Gunner, and Left and Right Engineer, make the biggest Star Wars fan RIGHT PILOT and have a person who can take video be the LEFT GUNNER.
Why? Because the Right Pilot gets to shift the Falcon to Light Speed, which is a dream come true for any fan. And the Left Gunner has the best view of them from their seat. You'll be able to capture a moment that they'll cherish for life.
It was recently announced at the 2024 D23 Expo that Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run would be updating it's ride video to include the Mandalorian and Grogu, which I am incredibly excited for as I've always wished for more storylines on this attraction. I assume, no matter what, every run on the Millenium Falcon will include a jump to light speed. As it should. So this tip will likely be good for years to come.
May the force be with you.
