UPDATE! Star Wars: The Force Awakens Characters & Plot Unveiled for Disney Infinity: 3.0 Edition.
Disney D23 taught us that Disney Infinity: 3.0 Edition‘s forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens set will include Finn and Rey as starter characters included with the Play Set. Now, Screen Rant is telling players that (at least) two more characters will be sold separately at launch – Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren. Click ahead to see the models for the characters.
The tie-in game for the movie will allow players to experience the most memorable moments from The Force Awakens. Players can use the same characters in the game’s Toy Box mode to create memorable moments of their own (such as having Darth Vader and Kylo Ren fight side-by-side), alongside Disney’s other characters from multiple franchises. Disney Infinity: 3.0 Edition‘s Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set will be available for release on December 18. The other two Star Wars expansions for this iteration of the game – Twilight Of The Republic and Rise Against The Empire – are available right now.
UPDATE!
The expansion’s description also vaguely hints about the overall story to the movie. (Spoilers ahead.)
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens Play Set, players will travel to a galaxy far, far away alongside new heroes and old friends in search for a much-needed ally. Playable characters include Finn, a soldier on a path to adventure and danger, and Rey, a true survivor who is resourceful and capable. Both will join Poe Dameron, the trusted pilot of the Resistance who uses his expert flying skills to travel the galaxy, and Kylo Ren, an enforcer for the First Order who terrorizes the galaxy with devious acts.
The description doesn’t tell us much as far as the characters go, but it does strongly hint at something we’ve all been suspecting for a long while – a major component of the film revolves around the search for Luke Skywalker.

Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
Can’t wait to see how Rey’s staff is used. Of course by Dec. 18 we will know!
Don’t let the movie spoil the game for you.
Finn….that’s my guy man. Only reason I’m signing up for this movie
I would love to buy this just to play as Rey but I think I will hold off for now. I am really hoping SW Battlefront puts out a Force Awakens expansion pack with the new movie characters and maps.
I agree. The Battle of Jakku is not enough!
Oh I’d bet the house. Force Awakens DLC pack for Battlefront is pretty much a given and was rumored way back. I’m sure we’re getting Rey, Finn, Poe, Phasma, Ren and Hux.
I hope so.
Finn and Rey vs the evil white male oppressor Kylo.
If we can just get rid of YT, everything will be great.
This is the message of TFA.
I smell racism…
What the heck are you even talking about? Do you have a problem with a film where the heroes are a black man, a Hispanic man, and a white woman?
There will be NO spoilers for this movie, seriously. Pretty much everything comes out December 18th.
Man those look cool. Poe and Finn have got swag son
So far, we have:
Twilight of the Republic – Anakin, Ahsoka, Yoda, Obi Wan, Darth Maul
Rise Against the Empire – Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Vader, Boba Fett
The Force Awakens – Finn, Rey, Poe, Kylo Ren
Extras (Rebels) – Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, Zeb
Seams the TFA set is missing a few still that have not been announced. I would expect at least one more “good” guy, but Captain Phasma would also be cool to have.
Also would not be surprised if we get another from Rebels, maybe one of the inquisitors or Agent Kallus. But without an actual play set to go with Rebels, the chances may not be that great.
We really need Hera and Kallus for the rebels side, Phasma for the For Awakens, and if you want Clone Wars, Id say Cad Bane, and Ventress.
Ventress won’t be there.
If they add BB8, they’d essentially print money.
Both will JOIN Poe AND Kylo in a search for a ally? Huh?
Yes, meaning they will join in the search that BOTH Poe and Ren are involved in i.e. the search for Luke, which both sides are probably hoping to enlist the help of, albeit for different reasons. If Kylo fancies himself a Vader throwback or sees himself as “New Vader” then maybe he wants to succeed where Vader failed and turn Luke to the Dark Side? Whereas Poe/The Resistance is searching for him so that They can enlist his help against the First Order.
That’s what I figured just seemed worded strange.
Okay, I can see that….
They screwed us. The search for Luke, for the whole spam movie. JJ is dead to me. How could you be so dumb. Give Starwars back to George. Heck anyone. I don’t want to wait until 2019 to see the Jedi and Luke in real action. Three decades was long enough.
