Millennium Falcon Gets a Fresh Look at Hollywood Studios
The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy is looking a little less… junky these days. Over in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Millennium Falcon has quietly undergone a refresh, and the results are now fully visible following the removal of scaffolding that had been in place for several weeks behind the iconic ship.

While Disney never officially announced the work, the changes are pretty easy to spot. The top rear section of the Falcon appears to have received a combination of cleaning and fresh scenic paint, restoring details that had faded over time. From ground level, the ship still looks battle-worn as it should, but a closer look reveals a sharper, more intentional finish rather than the real-world wear that had started to creep in over the years.
One of the biggest giveaways is the return of more vibrant color accents across the ship’s surface. Areas that previously looked dull or weathered now have a refreshed pop, while still maintaining that signature “been through a few asteroid fields” aesthetic. It is a delicate balance, and Disney’s scenic team seems to have leaned into that idea, keeping the Falcon looking rugged without actually looking worn down.

This marks the first noticeable refresh for the Millennium Falcon since Galaxy’s Edge opened back in 2019, making it a welcome update for one of the land’s most photographed icons. The timing is also interesting, as Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is set to debut a brand-new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu starting May 22, 2026. With new adventures on the way, it looks like the Falcon is getting a little tune-up before blasting off again.
