If you’re aware of my work at all, you’ll know how thoroughly I tend to Geek out for Disney’s INFINITY game.

In the case of the upcoming INFINITY 3.0 - we’re getting STAR WARS figures. Many of them, encompassing all eras and all (cannon) titles within the franchise.

The INFINITY 3.0 STAR WARS edition arrives in a few weeks, August 30, and here’s a newly issued (as of this posting) trailer promoting it’s prequel era gameplay…

I’ve written before in the past about the hilarious correlations between SCOOBY-DOO and earlier DOCTOR WHO - the notion that I will someday soon be able to fuse the franchises bering me boundless joy.
LEGO DIMENSIONS releases September 27th, with various franchise-themed expansions packs available then and across subsequent months.
