Overview

• During a September 21 mission at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Millennium Falcon simulator stopped three-quarters through, the main screen went dark, and cabin lights turned on as Hondo Ohnaka dialogue looped.
• Guests remained strapped in for roughly 20 minutes until a crew member manually opened the cockpit and released seatbelts before escorting riders out.
• Cast members apologized on site and issued a Lightning Lane Multi Pass to each affected guest as compensation.
• Recent reports point to other unusual outcomes this season, including a Reddit-posted image showing the ride ending on a rare “empty field” background with missing scores.
• Disney has not provided a public technical explanation in these reports, and a previously announced storyline overhaul featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu is slated for May 22, 2026.
