Disneyland's Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run Has a Hack to Turn on 'Chewie Mode'

Riders on Disneyland's Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run can now 'hack' the ride to turn on Chewie Mode. If you've been on the ride before, you know that every right and wrong move is met with a line from Hondo, the famed smuggler who sends you on the mission in the first place. You meet him in the queue before entering the Millennium Falcon. But with a specific set of inputs, you can activate Chewie Mode, replacing all of Hondo's verbal cues with responses from Chewbacca in the form of his famous yell. But be warned, making this happen isn't easy and will require a group of friendly strangers or a full crew of friends willing to help you. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/09/star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance-disney-world-full-ridethrough"] Fresh Baked completed this hack and you can see it in action if you want to see it for yourself. If you're looking to hack into the system yourself, you're going to need to follow a very specific set of instructions: When you enter the ride section of Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, do not activate your position, which could be pilot, gunner, or engineer. This means that nobody on the ride should press a button or touch a lever. The left and right pilots need to push their steering controls to the far left and right respectively. Once they've done that, they can hit their activation button. The engineers and gunners need to now hit one of the white buttons on their interface before pressing the orange activation button.

A good way to ensure you've done what you need to do in time is making sure everyone completes their steps, or hack as it were, before the cast member assigned to your unit finishes the seatbelt check. If you've completed these steps in time, you'll know you've successfully hacked the ride when you hear Chewie yelling at you and explaining what you need to do instead of Holdo. If you haven't had the chance to go to Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland to ride Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, we've got a review of it with footage from the ride you can check out. We also recently reviewed the newest ride in the land, Rise of the Resistance, and spoilers: it's amazing.
