If you're looking to transport goods across the galaxy with a bit of flair—and a lot of questionable legality—Ohnaka’s Transport Solutions might be the company for you. Operated by the charismatic and, at times, overly ambitious Hondo Ohnaka, this outfit offers a unique blend of transport services, though you might want to read the fine print… or just take your chances. After all, Ohnaka’s business model isn’t exactly built on legal shipments.
Fleet Quality: Let’s start with the good. Ohnaka’s fleet, particularly the Millennium Falcon—which has seen better days—is a solid choice for those looking for speed and maneuverability. Sure, it’s a little banged up from years of adventuring and near-death encounters, but there’s something to be said about a ship with character. The Falcon, in particular, boasts a decent hyperdrive, and while it might not win any awards for reliability, it’ll get you to your destination—eventually. If you’re hauling high-priority cargo or looking to make a quick escape from Imperial forces, there’s no ship that can quite do it like Ohnaka’s.
As for other transports in the fleet? Well, they’re serviceable. Not exactly top-tier, but they’ll get the job done… as long as you’re not planning to be in hyperspace for more than a few hours at a time. Maintenance, let’s just say, isn’t exactly a priority for Ohnaka’s crew, so expect some hiccups along the way.
Customer Service (Or Lack Thereof): Now, Ohnaka himself is a whole other matter. Hondo Ohnaka, the face of this operation, is a smooth talker, no doubt about it. He can charm you into anything, from a deal on a shipment to agreeing to “a slight change of course” mid-delivery. If you can tolerate a bit of moral ambiguity, then you might find his approach to business… refreshing.
But be warned: Ohnaka’s commitment to making a profit means he’s willing to cut corners and bend the rules wherever he can. A simple shipment can easily turn into a high-stakes smuggling operation, with Hondo promising riches while you’re stuck dodging bounty hunters, rival smugglers, or worse. He’s the kind of businessman who’ll assure you it’s a “no-risk” deal—right before the risks start piling up.
Ethical Considerations: Now, if you’re the type who likes to stay on the right side of the law, Ohnaka’s Transport Solutions is probably not your best choice. The whole business model is built on bending the rules—or outright breaking them. Whether it’s transporting contraband or making “adjustments” to cargo manifests, Ohnaka operates in a legal grey area that only the most seasoned smugglers are comfortable navigating.
And the crew? Well, they’re... enthusiastic. Ohnaka’s staff—mostly loyal (for now)—are trained to keep things moving smoothly, but let’s be real: these are not the kind of people you want to rely on for scrupulous business practices. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a crew member who knows how to handle a blaster and steer the ship through a firestorm. If you’re unlucky, you’ll end up with a smuggler who’s only slightly more competent than the cargo they’re hauling.
Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a fast-paced, thrill-seeking, risk-taking adventure and are prepared to navigate the legal complications of working with one of the galaxy’s most notorious smugglers, Ohnaka’s Transport Solutions might be just the thing for you. It’s fast, it’s risky, and it’s definitely not above board, but there’s something exhilarating about that kind of freedom, especially when you’re dealing with someone like Hondo Ohnaka.
Just be prepared for some detours, unexpected complications, and a lot of scrambling when things inevitably go wrong. For the right price, Ohnaka can get you to your destination—though whether you’ll arrive in one piece is another story entirely.

Read moreIf you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and shouting, “Punch it, Chewie!” then Smugglers Run at Galaxy’s Edge is your ultimate Star Wars fantasy come to life. This ride is nothing short of incredible and makes you feel like you’ve been plucked straight out of the movies and into a galaxy far, far away.
From the moment you enter the Falcon’s hangar, the details are mind-blowing. Every switch, every button, every piece of the iconic ship has been meticulously recreated. Walking into the cockpit? Pure chills. It’s a Star Wars fan’s dream come true.
Now, the ride itself is an interactive masterpiece. You and your crew (yes, your friends and family are your co-pilots, gunners, and engineers) take on a smuggling mission that’s as thrilling as it is chaotic. Pilots get the adrenaline rush of steering the Falcon, gunners fire at enemy ships, and engineers frantically press buttons to keep everything running smoothly. Spoiler alert: If your pilot doesn’t know their left from their right, you’re in for some hilarious crashes!
The immersive nature of this attraction is what makes it so special. Every move you make affects the mission’s outcome, and your performance is even reflected as you wander around Galaxy’s Edge afterward. It’s teamwork, Star Wars-style, and it’s a blast—even when it’s a beautiful disaster.
The visuals are stunning, the sounds are iconic, and the overall experience is as close as you’ll get to piloting the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. The queue is also packed with Easter eggs and fun details, making the wait part of the adventure.
Whether you’re a lifelong Star Wars fan or just love thrilling rides, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is an unmissable experience. Just be prepared to laugh, scream, and maybe blame your pilot for hitting that asteroid. May the Force (and your aim)...
Read moreI can't believe that we almost dismissed this ride. I had read of people getting motion sickness, and there were all sorts of warnings about staying away if you have high blood pressure and back issues. It's just a simulator, and the only motions that I felt was rocking back & forth, and side to side. We decided to risk it since there was a very short wait (like 10 minutes) around lunchtime on a weekday. I'm glad we experienced it.
First of all, it's just a cool walk through the queue on its own. You're walking around on high gated pathways and tubes that take you behind and around the Millennium Falcon. There's a very large engine, a mechanical shop, and all kinds of cargo scattered about. You're on your way to the briefing area with absolutely no one directly in front or behind you. It didn't feel like a cluster (if you know what I mean). You finally get to a point where they usher you into the briefing area with Hondo & R5-P8. There's a brief chat with Chewie. After all of that, you're on your way to the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon to fly your mission.
It's totally interactive, and you work as a team. What was nice is that there were only 4 instead of 6 crew members on our flight. We were the pilots, and then there were 2 gunners. It was all a cool experience. Just listen to Hondo's (or Chewie's) instructions and you're golden. I've read that there is a way to choose Chewie mode, but we heard Hondo the entire time.
We crashed into things a lot, but the Falcon kept flying. I missed a crucial moment with the braking system, but all went well. As for motion sickness, I didn't feel a thing because I was too focused on the navigation. It would be nice to reverse roles next time by shooting things down. Perhaps the back seats get more of the motion.
It was a fun ride! If anything, do it for all the cool scenery that you see...
