I assume it is just a new mission and we are still smuggling for Hondo? But we encounter Mando and Grogu along the way?
Or are they replacing the entire premise?

I can’t imagine they would replace Hondo entirely if they already have the AAs. Plus he’s one of Filoni’s original characters

I'd imagine same basic story of joining Hondo for a mission that helps the resistance using the borrowed millennium falcon. But now that mission involves teaming up with Mando instead of just flying through a boring environment

If it takes place in Mando’s timeline that means Han Solo is still alive… I wonder if they could add a de-aged Harrison Ford to the preshow. That might help give Galaxy’s Edge more of an original trilogy feel

I remember what was compelling about this attraction was the ability to switch out different storylines like Star Tours. Kind of wild this is the first time they are doing it for this ride. Happy nonetheless.
Probably also testing how Mando is received in the parks besides meet and greet. They know the sequel trilogy isn’t moving merchandise or much of a draw anymore.

Agree but real low hanging fruit. Should have been already by now.
Actually there should be multiple missions and randomization

for the trend to continue for Epcot’s 40th

Your mission: Help out Mando and Grogu by hijacking a First Order transport train and steal a shipment of valuable coaxium.

If they're included that means Han Solo, Luke, Leia, and the gang are still around. No, I wouldn't expect to see them but would be interesting to know how Mando and Grogu are now in Han's ship. The current version is set in the sequel era.Mando and Grogu Join Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

I think they will (slowly) bring in the OT characters. I think the hard continuity is clearly going away. Would not be surprised if the next SW is OT era set. That may go outside of Galaxy's Edge.

I was thinking the same thing. This seems like something they could’ve been working on for a while to announce for almost immediate implementation. Aside from what Hondo says, this wouldn’t seem to require any major structural changes.
They could have had this done by the end of 2023. But sure, “synergy” is always the excuse for stupid management decisions.

As far as we know, Mando and Grogu are still alive in the sequel era. This addition doesn't explicitly mean they are changing the timeframe of the ride.
