This ride can be a lot of fun with kids of the right age. Try to get them in the pilot and gunner positions, leaving adults to take the engineer seats.
I actually enjoy this ride more than Rise of the Resistance next door. Fyi though, it could be bad luck, but the ride has often broken down, on the days that I've been there.

Our son really likes this adventure, we went on it twice in our time at the park. The setup going in is pretty fun and detailed, including being inside the interior of the Millennium Falcon...so cool! I think I would have been happy just hanging out the whole time in the central space where there's the infamous chess table. You get to do different 'jobs' in the cockpit - I think the two most fun are pilot and gunner (2 each). There's a chance of motion sickness if you're sensitive, but we were fine.

Took a trip with friends to Disneyland in August 2025. I was at Disney last year but didn’t do this ride so had to give it a go.
It was our last ride of the day. The line was about 35 minutes long the shortest it had been all day so clearly we had to. Once inside with all of the intricate twists and turns I realized why the length of time. Thankfully it moved pretty quickly and while it did I took pictures of all of the detail that they made sure to get. The realism was uncanny.
We got to the divide we were asked how many in our party and pointed in directions to stand. Characters came around and never broke character and gave us our assignments. Doors opened and we climbed into the “vessel”. Our group of four was joined by a mother and her young son. Our ship took off and the games began. Two of my friends were responsible for piloting and navigating and myself, another friend, and the young son were gunners.
Oh my gosh! My friend piloting kept crashing which made the whole “vessel” shake and buck. It was hilarious and put all of us including the mom and son into complete fits of laughter. We barely made it from the docking station because we couldn’t stop cackling and sliding around and shaking with the ride the whole time. It was absolutely great and a perfect way to end the day!
Highly recommend doing this ride with people who can have a good time and don’t take things like this too seriously and you will also have a blast and a half!
