Last year, there were rumors that Smuggler's Run in Disneyland and Disney World might be overhauled to include experiences that would incorporate characters and ships from The Mandalorian.
Closures have delayed everything, unfortunately, so even if that was the plan, it hasn't happened yet. However, Jim Hill of The Disney Dish podcast is reporting that the Mandalorian, Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, and Boba Fett will soon start roaming both versions of Galaxy's Edge.
"We should anticipate seeing meet-and-greet opportunities with Mando and the Child, likewise Boba Fett will start making appearances, also Ahsoka Tano," he claims, explaining that the negative reaction to the Skywalker Saga sequels could see the parks move away from characters like Rey and Kylo Ren in an effort to "help drive attendance."
"The thinking right now is, yes, last year guests were excited thereabouts to have Kylo Ren and Rey walking around in Galaxy's Edge, but in a situation like this where if they were to do something like, say, have Kylo Ren's shuttle disappear and suddenly the Razor Crest is sitting there parked, that would go from 'oh that's interesting' to 'Holy cow, where's the line, how do I get my picture taken with the Child'?"
Whether you love, hate, or are indifferent to the Star Wars sequels, they do feel like yetserday's news, so overhauling Galaxy's Edge with these popular characters from The Mandalorian could work out nicely.
