Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda, will recall fond memories of his adventures with the Mandalorian Din Djarin as he tests his powers of the Force during "The Curious Child."

The limited time show will play nightly on the spires of Batuu above the Millennium Falcon immediately following the "Shadows of Memory" projection show.

"Shadows of Memory" typically plays at 8:45 and 10:15 p.m. on most nights in Galaxy's Edge with occasional showings at 9:30 p.m.

"The Curious Child" projection show is the latest addition to Galaxy's Edge ahead of the new Mando and Grogu overlay on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction and the release of "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" in theaters on May 22.

Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia meet-and-greet characters started making appearances on April 29 as part of a storyline reset in Galaxy's Edge.

The new Mando and Grogu backstory on Smugglers Run finds Hondo Ohnaka sending recruits (that's us) on a daring mission aboard the Millennium Falcon to four Star Wars locales.

The mission starts with a high-stakes deal on Tatooine where ex-Imperial officers have crossed paths with a ruthless band of pirates. Our job: Team up with Mando and Grogu to collect the crates being transported by the pirates.

The often-underutilized engineer position on Smugglers Run will be responsible for charting a course to one of three Star Wars planets - Bespin, Endor or Coruscant.

Disneyland will also roll out the new BDX Droid popcorn bucket and Mando and Grogu Jetpack sipper on May 21 that are sure to be popular among Star Wars fans and collectors.

Disneyland Magic Key holders can get a free Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run attraction poster featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu starting May 19 at Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney.
