#Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Cool kids at the back - In praise of the engineer on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

By Neil Merrett In trying to build ever more immersive theme park rides. Some of the world’s leading entertainment giants are leaning into the interactivity of videogames to put you into their intellectual property. While many thrill seekers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios park may be queuing for spectacular space battles and daring smuggling missions, there is something much more endearingly…

Something I love about Wookieepedia is that it treats anything that happens at Galaxy's Edge as canon. Coca-Cola is canon in the Star Wars universe because it's served at Galaxy's Edge in special little orb-shaped bottles. This brings to mind many questions, the most important being: is my experience of being a single rider shoved onto the Millennium Falcon with a chaotically enthusiastic family who spoke only German (I think?) the entire time and had either ridden Smuggler's Run previously or had researched ahead of time because they all knew exactly which seats they each wanted to be in and were yelling instructions at one another while I was continuously confused and pushing buttons at random and sort of just wanting to go back to the line so I could look at that animatronic that explains things to you some more because it was so impressive, I briefly wondered if it was a person in costume somehow, canon?

Forever annoyed that The Powers That Be at TWDC didn't set up a ride photo inside the Millennium Falcon in Smuggler's Run.

(We're headed to Batuu East next week!!! and I will, as always, try to take a selfie on the Falcon, and I will, as always, fail to do so.)

2021: Disney - Hollywood Studios - Galaxy's Edge

The main reason that we spent the day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was to experience Galaxy’s Edge, the fairly new Star Wars themed area. We were not disappointed as it was a great day. Since we were staying at one of the Disney hotels, we were able to get early access and were able to ride Rise of the Resistance twice during the day – once because of the early short line, and the second time…

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter 2: Title Crawl

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... STAR WARS: THE AGE OF REBELLION It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire on the planet of Scarif. During the battle, Rebel spies Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR-- a space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet-- from an Imperial Citadel run by Director Orson Krennic, relaying them to a Rebel cruiser in orbit. Determined not to let the rebels escape, the Death Star obliterated the Citadel, and the Empire's sinister enforcer Darth Vader arrived to the aftermath of the battle in pursuit of the cruiser...

Chapter 3: Tantine IV Darth Vader pursues the blockade runner Tantine IV to retrieve the plans to the Death Star stolen from Scarif...

I know I didn't make a follow up post about Disneyland, but long story short, I survived, and it was incredible. I wish instagram still was connected to tumblr, you would've seen all my updates. If you want to see the pictures I posted, here's my instagram (you have to scroll a little because we celebrated both Easter and Lily's fourth birthday since we've been back) but it was amazing and I've since been suffering from the post-Disney blues more like depression 😭 since we've been home.

Galaxy's Edge was the BOMB and I just had to share my freaking ROGUE SQUADRON HELMET that I didn't even know EXISTED, because I wore my HU rogue squadron tank top (with the hoodie that you can't see) of course on Star Wars Land day (our last day) and it was just too perfect to pass up. It is so cool you guys. I AM SO COOL NOW. I CAN BE ROGUE NINE WHENEVER I WANT. I'M BASICALLY CORRAN HORN NOW!!

The blue milk was delicious! I wish I could've tried the green milk because it's supposedly even better, but it has grapefruit in it (damn you psych meds!!) so that was a bummer, but oh well. The x wing was SO COOL, and so was the Millennium Falcon (again, go to my instagram to see it (am I fishing for likes?! maybe 😉)) and while we couldn't ride the Rise of the Resistance because they don't do single riders, I was an engineer on Smuggler's Run and the group I was with was really welcoming and it was pretty fun! Also, my R2D2 ears were SO cute but SO uncomfortable which was a bummer, I had been wanting them for months and ended up preferring the cheap etsy ones I got me and the girls (you can see them in the instagram pics from the first two days!). But we met R2 while I was wearing the R2 ears, so, you know, that was PRETTY FUCKING COOL 😱

Last but not least, we found these amazing ILYIK spirit jerseys and while I typically am not a fan of the spirit jerseys I just couldn't pass these up. We have ILYIK engraved on our wedding bands, they were on my R2 wedding heels, on our cake topper, and on our third anniversary we painted this which has been above our beds ever since (this fall is our eighth anniversary)(look at us, what babies!):

We did rope drop to fireworks every single park day, with one rest/pool day, and fuck it was exhausting and I was in soo much pain and so exhausted, but it was so damn worth it. SO WORTH IT YOU GUYS. I cried when we left the gates the last night, because it had been soo magical and such an incredible time and I had been so happy and... when am I going to be that happy again?! Fuck if I know. Seriously 😭 hence the post-Disney blues/depression...

It was just amazing. Magical. Everything you could've hoped for. The girls had the best time. I was so stressed out and sure, I forgot ninety percent of my personal hygiene stuff because I had to pack everyone else's shit but hey that's motherhood for you.

Okay, this was supposed to be a Star Wars souvenir appreciation post but it's getting away from me a bit... anyway. I survived Disneyland 2024. I wish I could go back. Someone take me back?!
