UPDATE! Disney Infinity 3.0 – Rebels Figurines CONFIRMED! Rise Against The Empire Screenshots.

Disney Infinity 3.0The latest installment in the wildly-popular Disney Infinity series is finally expanding into the Star Wars universe. Click ahead to read up on what Rebels characters are believed to be getting their own figurines, and new screenshots from the Rise Against The Empire expansion.

 

For a quick refresher – in addition to Twilight Of The Republic and Rise Against The Empire, a third playset based on The Force Awakens will be released. The following Star Wars characters have been confirmed to get their own figurines:

 

  • Anakin Skywalker
  • Ahsoka Tano
  • Yoda
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Darth Maul
  • Luke Skywalker
  • Princess Leia Organa
  • Han Solo
  • Chewbacca
  • Darth Vader

 

But what’s interesting is that a pair of German retailers have listed four new Star Wars figurines – currently unseen in any released footage of the game – as being in the works. They are all Rebels characters, and they comprise the following:

 

  • Ezra Bridger
  • Kanan Jarrus
  • Sabine Wren
  • Garazeb “Zeb” Orrellios

 

It’s not likely that these characters will receive their own playset in Disney Infinity 3.0, as Star Wars already has three out of the five that have been announced. Perhaps they’ll have better luck in 4.0 (at which point there will be a lot more content to draw from the show), but as it stands, I believe that any Rebels characters will simply be released as standalone figures. Hera Syndulla could possibly get one, too.

 

Disney Infinity Original Trilogy

Beyond the realm of speculation and rumors is fact – and new screenshots for Rise Against The Empire have been released. Let’s let the images do the talking and check this footage from Twitch:

UPDATE!

 

The official Star Wars website has confirmed that the four Rebels characters mentioned above will be headed to the game. They will be included as standalone figures and will not be a part of a separate playset. Here’s what they look like in-game:

 

Disney Infinity Rebels

While Hera isn’t a part of this group of characters, who will presumably all be available by the time the game launches, bear in mind that more characters models are manufactured and released after the game comes out. Given that the new season of Rebels will be in full swing by the time the game is released, she might not be the only character from that series who will be added later on. (I’m personally pulling for figures of Zare Leonis, the Pau’an Inquisitor, Agent Kallus, and Rex!)

 

On another note (I forgot to mention this in the previous version of the article), since the game is apparently going to be released between August 23 and September 30, it may be reasonable to infer that the playset for The Force Awakens won’t hit until November and December as the “official” tie-in to the movie. I’d imagine that it’s going to be closer to the latter – that is to say, close to the release of the movie – in order to avoid spoiling it.

      They have not been confirmed yet. But bear in mind that Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and the Vision are all highly likely to be made for the new Avengers set, although they have not yet been announced.

      Just because they haven’t said anything yet doesn’t mean that they aren’t coming. They’ll probably be made eventually – for 3.0 at release, for 3.0 after the release, or for 4.0.

    I’ll probably collect all the figurines, but I probably won’t play the game. It’s probably best suited for kids, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it. I’ll enjoy Battlefront though!

      The game is pretty fun especially if you like casual local multiplayer.

    I guess it’s nice to see Disney incorporating Clone Wars, and not disowning that series because it was originally co-produced by Turner.

    I think the pay for game and then pay for the characters thing is a complete scam, but I would be lying if I said I am very tempted to buy this.

    I like having Star Wars as a part of Infinity… but I am not fond of the Star Wars Rebels characters.

      I like it, characters could use a little more texture, but overall well done for a smaller budget than TCW

        once you get over the fact that there are somehow jedi alive in this era that yoda knows about but doesn’t do a shit about…. I guess I can say I like this show too.

    Merchandise overkill. I wonder if they will manage to oversaturate the market with Star Wars. I’m already a little annoyed.

    So they couldn’t continue and finish The Clone Wars properly
    but they can make profit off of it in form of a game add-on. OK.

    Between the facts that they laid off a bunch employees to bring “international workers” being trained by the very people they are laying off and what they are doing with the franchises they “aquired,” Disney is starting to annoy the crap out of me! Here’s to the OT! Everything else is just a $$$$ grab!

    Why no Hera? I don’t watch the show but from what little I’ve seen Hera is by far the most intelligent and likable character in the show, I know she’s a pilot and “not in the action” but come on, this should be seen as a dis’ to the character.

    And also why is Ezra’s hair black in Lego and Infinity?

    It’s blue in the show, but not anywhere else?
    What the hell?
    Or is it just that I’m the only person who noticed? like a blue-vs-gold [vs photoshop] thing?

    Agreed about money grab. Rebels is really being pushed as though the characters from it are legendary. They aren’t. Imo, they stink and btw, I thought this was Ep7 news, not Rebels news.

    Disney is an entertainment company! Plus THEY OWN IT! They bought it for a pretty penny! Over 4 billion dollars. Remember? They can do what they want! Watch and read what you want. Nobody is forcing you to do either. Enjoy it or don’t enjoy it. That is up to you. Like it or not, Let it go!
