As many of you know, this year it's all about Star Wars.
December 18th is a huge day for Star Wars fans.
Star Wars The Force Awakens hits theaters.
My family and I, honestly, can't wait to see this movie.
We also can't wait for something very special called Disney Infinity 3.0.
What is it?
Well, today we're speaking with David Mayernik, from the Production Team at Disney Interactive
to tell us all about it.
Good morning.
Hi.
Good morning.
It's great to be here.
Do you love Star Wars?
Of course.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't love Star Wars?
Oh my gosh, and this Disney Infinity 3.0, I know it's a fun game, give me a little sneak.
What is it?
Right.
So, 3.0 Edition is the Star Wars edition, and we're introducing Star Wars characters
from across the entire universe.
And with the Force Awakens play set coming out, we really feel like we have the complete
Star Wars experience.
So, if you're a mom or dad who loves Star Wars, this is a great fun interactive way
to introduce this world to your kids.
And I love that idea, David, because there are so many things today that don't involve
the family, to be honest.
And this is a great way for that family game night, family time together to play.
Yeah.
We're utilizing technology in a fun positive way, and the great thing about Infinity is
there's something for everybody.
I know in our green room, we have a family right now.
Who's playing?
Yeah, yeah.
Hunter, Holden, and Leigh are over there playing right now.
So I just take Obi-Wan and put him over here, and that switches the characters?
Yeah.
Once you take Yoda off and you put Obi-Wan Kenobi on, you switched the characters.
Tell me what we're seeing right now.
So they're in Twilight of the Republic, which is a our play set that comes with the starter
pack.
So, there's two ways to play.
There's Play Sets and The Toy Box mode.
Play Sets are true to property experiences, kind of like your traditional mission based
game play, right?
You put that Play Set piece on the base, and you're transported into that world.
You can kind of immerse yourself into it, right?
Alright, let's watch and see what this family's doing right now.
Let's take a look.
Okay, what's going on there.
Okay, so right we did an entire combat upgrade, right?
So, they're checking out new combo moves, they're using their force push-and-pull powers,
and they're going through Coruscant right now.
Alright, wait there's more still.
Let's watch.
What's cool is all the characters have their own skill trees and power-ups, and as you
level them up you unlock different moves and things like that.
So, it looks like they're doing pretty well.
They're doing great.
Okay, one more time, let's look.
Alright, what was that?
They're coming up on a boss battle now.
They're fighting General Grievous and they're ripping through this play set.
They're doing pretty advanced right now.
They really know what they're doing, and mom's having a good time, too.
Yeah.
And what's fun is if you have the younger kids, they can kind of just button mash, and
they're going to have a satisfying experience.
But if you're a little more technical or advanced, you can unlock those combos and find special
moves.
So, there's a skill level for all different types of players.
And really it's a great gift for the whole family.
It's a great gift for the holidays, really year-round.
Yeah.
Well, everybody has a character they can relate to, and what's cool about year-round is if
you have 1.0 or a 2.0, all those characters are forward compatible.
So, you still have value in those older characters.
They'll all work in the 3.0 edition Toy Box mode which is a lot of fun.
Can we look one more time?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's look one more time.
I feel like I'm there.
Okay, take me there.
What were they doing?
Okay, I'm going to say they're in the Toy Box mode here, and the Toy Box mode is kind
of the heart of Infinity.
How does that work?
Well, this is where kids can really express their creativity.
They can build worlds, they can tell their own stories, and use their imagination.
And it's up to them what they want to create.
And this is where you mix and match all the characters.
It's a lot of fun.
Get ready.
Great for the holidays.
I'm coming back.
You're going to come back.
There's so much more to come.
So, where do we get Disney Infinity 3.0 because I know my daughter's going to write it on
Santa's list?
Well, you can get it at all major retailers, and you there's more info on Disney.Com/Infinity
where you can learn a lot about the game.
Figures make great stocking stuffers for your kids.
This is true.
Also, there's little power disc packs, so there's a lot of stuff for Christmas available.
Thank you so much.
Oh, yeah.
It's great being here.
Definitely expecting you soon again.
I hope so.
And if you're looking for a great way to spend the holidays with your family, consider family
game night with friends and family and Disney Infinity 3.0, and of course you can always
