1. Fly the "Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy"
The only full-size Millennium Falcon in the world spans more than 100 feet. Riders can play three roles: pilot, engineer, or gunner. The goal is to deliver smuggled goods while avoiding unnecessary entanglements.

2. Make your phone into a Star Wars Datapad
Download the Play Disney Parks Mobile App and you can transform your phone into your very own Star Wars: Datapad. You can play a game called "Outpost Control" that takes place across the land. You can choose to be aligned with the Resistance or the First Order. The faction that controls the majority of panels next to doorways wins the game. The conflict happens multiple times through out the day. Additionally, the pad will let you hack (called slicing) into droids and door panels to unlock additional stories. Plus, you can scan containers to find surprises, translate languages, and tune in to communications happening throughout the land.
